Lesson 2 reflection

Label: Presentation


Content:

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I was most proud of how I was able to engage everyone and engage them in the activity. They all were very interested in the presentation as far as I could tell.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract

I met all the requirements on the contract and based on how I was able to draw in the audience with how much I love fashion and trying to relate to them. Also by looking at the audience, I could tell people were interested.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2? Everything went well. 

Especially the activity

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

I would have included some illustrations with swatches that I would pass around. I feel like that would have given them something to see physically besides what hanging from the board 

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

The best way to create a coheisive fashion collection is by researching and gaining an understanding of your inspiration to implement in a collection. 

January blog post

 What I did this January: 

This month, I had a photo shoot for 4 garments I made for my independent component. This photo shoot included a professional model, photographer, and studio. This is something that will prepare me for the future as this will be something that I will be doing a lot. Photo shoots and learning to direct photo shoots properly are a big part of being a designer. This photo shoot I learned from the photographer that it Is not uncommon for a shoot to have music, sometimes supplied by the model. The other thing I did this month was started volunteering at an air museum (specializing in the uniforms of the Second World War) I use all the research I gained from volunteering there to incorporate in my designs, not just for the design but for the functionality aspect. As depicted in the second picture, I have also been practicing the different styles of illustration. This month I have mostly been focusing on the 1940-1970 style of illustration as this is what they would be teaching students in that time period. 

December blog post

What I did this December with in my field. 

This December I worked with my mentor and studied things like brocades on fabrics and asian style designs. I studied the different styles if brocades from China to Korea to Japan. My mentor also showed me the different ways to work with a computer to enhance the way you communicate to your client exactly what you are featuring in your collection.

Explanation of picture: These pictures above are from what I have been working on in the month of December. From left to right; a red brocade with gold cherry blossom patterns. The gold matching the gold on the cherry blossom. The next is a grey brocade with elastic top. The pants are a lycra cut. The last garment is a top made from silk green dragon brocade, grey chiffon, and black waistband/collar. Also featuring lycra pants.

Blog 11: Holiday project update

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

During my break, my mentor and I went over fashion sketches and the types of drawing for the fashion design. We covered the difference between an illustration and  a sketch. I also worked on a mens jacket for the wintertime with the use of symbolism in a design. 


2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

The most important thing I learned about this month with my project was to tell the difference between drawing an illustration for a fashion final and a sketch for an idea. This skill is important because when it comes to ideas, you want to be as direct as possible. 
3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would interview my mentor's husband about illustration. Ted Bootanthanakit is a fantastic illustrator for video game, and storyboarding companies. This skill is incredibly useful in fashion and I would like to learn more.
