Creative Thinking

Floral Dress

I can deliberately learn about things that interest me, and new ideas pop into my head. When I decided to made this project I already knew I wanted to do a dress as my final project. I searched for many ideas and even patterns. I got interested in sewing last year when it was a unit in our Arts and Crafts. I made a tote bag and a draw string bag. Since then I got interested in sewing and that’s the reason I chose Textiles 11. The projects I have made where all clothing items that I knew I was going to wear, therefore I learned to make them and even make the patterns for them. The creative part of sewing always comes when buying the fabric, since it can change the whole thing. When I bought the pattern I had an idea of what fabric I would buy. Which was a floral pattern fabric.

Critical and Reflective Thinking

My Artifact: Drawstring Bag

I demonstrated creative thinking skills during this project by this being my first time sewing something, I had never sewed before in my life, and we got the opportunity to make this project I wanted mine to be very creative, I wanted this bag to be Christmas inspired, so when finding the fabric I looked for a fabric that had the Christmas colours, during the period of making this bag, I had to think in many creative ways, for example I’m I wanted the lining to match the outer fabric or if I wanted to contrast it with another colour. Another example would be how I wanted the string to be place, either on the side or the front, another time where I had to think creative was when the teacher asked how we would use it in the future, many people would say to storage things, which is totally fine, but I wanted to be creative, so I decided to use as a decoration for my Christmas tree.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Skills

BMO Box

I demonstrated my critical and reflective thinking skills during this project with the planning, although the project was to just do a box, I tried to challenge myself, and try to do something that was somewhat challenging. I had to put a lot of details which is where the critical thinking came because I had to estimate a measurement for each detail so it would fit on the box I had made. For reflective thinking skills I had to take a lot of time thinking about how I would make so details, since they were so small, at the end I made the details just how I wanted them to be.
