Session 6

Session Tasks

Review of other students work:

who else did you like and why?

• George's especially, because of its sleek and finished appearance. Although it did not necessarily fulfil what the task asked (step by step) it almost jumped ahead and became a seemingly developed idea for the main brief.

on reflection what would you change if you could do it again?

• I would have been more creative personally if i had known we "could" in a way. I feel I met the requirements for the task, but did not go above and beyond creatively. I achieved something clear and step by step but did not develop it further to reflect the nature of the main brief so much. If i could re-do this i would have spent more time on the digital side of things making the step by step more appropriate for the main brief and more interesting for children. I thought that we were more documenting a process of making than creating something aesthetically amazing!
