I can use my imagination to get new ideas of my own, or build on others’ ideas, or combine other people’s ideas in new ways.
In the book binding assignment I used my creative thinking to come up with a notebook that contains aspects that the original outline did not contain. I thought outside the box to plan an artifact that was based off the assignment structure. By using the original idea to construct a notebook with lined pages by printing out double sides horizontal lines and cutting them in half in place of folding the pages. I then punched holes evenly spaced out to make a spiral spine using wire from the craft cabinet. I followed the book binding instructions to attach my fabric to the particle board and added more holes. I then used embroidery skills to add some roses and my name. This demonstrates my ability to elaborate on the original template and build on the ideas to express my own form of art, designing something more personal to me.
