Creative Thinking

My Artifact: Card #2

I chose this card because during this project I was able to communicate with others and get different ideas to help me create this card. The making of this card had lots of thinking go into it as I wanted this card to follow a certain theme so I looked up different things relating to that theme in order to create it. All of the drawing in this card were thought about and placement of each drawing had thought go into it so that the card looks like the theme I wanted, even when I thought about certain drawings going into this project not every drawing worked so I had to erase and re think about the drawings and how much space I had left on the card and I also had to think about the placements of the next drawing I wanted to put.

Core competency

I demonstrated my creative thinking skills doing this project by building on different ideas and merging them together to create one big idea that fits the theme I want. I can persevere over time and take time to develop and think of new ideas that can help me create the image I have in my head. I can expect setbacks and failure but can use those setbacks and failures to retry and think about if this would work or if i want to change a design but still have it fit the theme that I want. An example of where I built off of someone else’s ideas is when I was asking my friend about what else I could add or what I can change and I used there suggestion and built off of it to create a card that fits more of what I wanted.
