MY ARTIFACT

CURRICULER COMPETENCY: Create and Communicate

In this project I read the story of the Mountain King and took a deeper look into the main character, Jason. I used the table outline to organize elements that make up a character. I used quotes from Jason and others around him to reflect and support these elements. For example on the “Speech” character element, “Defensive” best described Jason’s character as the quotes I used demonstrated how eager Jason was to defend himself in front of his peers. For the overall infographic, I created a camping/outdoor theme as it seemed fitting for the setting of the story. I added stickers and extra designs to appeal to the visual part of this project.

CORE COMPETENCY: Thinking

During the process of both learning about character elements and applying them to this project– I became better educated in the knowledge of character. I believe from this experience, I can now apply these elements to future characters, whether they are characters I read or write about. Along with this, the creative process of using Canva has been very beneficial. This platform allows me to organize and demonstrate ideas I have taken from text and I hope to use it more in this class.

Artifact: Autumn Paper Quilling Project

Autumn Paper Quilling Project

CORE COMPETENCY:

Creative Thinking

Throughout this project I was inspired and hard working. I took ideas from Pinterest to add onto my project, in order to build up my fall paper quilling project. Using my skills that I had learned in Textiles, I was able to make a completed fall paper quilling project that I could be proud of. For the pieces inside of the pumpkin, I used the resources available to me in class (paper, tools etc) and took inspiration from the fall weather around me. For the basket I used skills from my previous project to weave the basket in order to hold my pieces.

Critical Thinking

When I had faced issues in this project, such as wanting to make “log” pieces however not having any tutorials or pictures for those pieces online. In an issue like this, I used skills from other pieces and combined materials in order to solve this issue.

Reflection: I enjoyed this project and learned a lot out of it. A skill I will use in the future will be the problem solving and skill combining I used in this project.
