Sewing Project #3

#ThinkingCC

I can deliberately learn about things that interest me, and new ideas pop into my head. An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas can be demonstrated in my third project. I chose to crochet for my third project. It is also a new technique that I have to learn. I have done some simple crochet before, and I found it interesting for me, so I want to learn more about it. I search for ideas on the internet and make changes based on other people’s ideas. I change the colour to match the pattern of the pieces and make up my own design. It is very fun for me, and I would like to learn more about crochet in the future.

Comparative Culture Core Competency Reflection

I can persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning and behaviour. My support network is beneficial to me since it can assist me in locating the resources that I require. This is a difficult course for me because it is project-based. I’m not very good at finding things on the internet and grouping them together. I can feel my progress in my studies from the beginning to the mid-term. I may look for information on many various websites and articles and come up with my own ideas for how to paraphrase the main topic.

I can work with others to achieve a goal. I learned a lot through the project of Egypt vs Mesopotamian. As an active listener, I notice that I lack communication with others. I’m hoping to grow braver and engage in more dialogue with others. During the project, I should share more thoughts with my groupmate. To gather diverse people’s perspectives and advice in order to better my project.

First sewing project-Irregular ruffles tiered skirt

I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. For my first sewing project, I choose to make a tiered skirt. I found a basic tiered skirt tutorial on youtube and make changes to it. I use my creative thinking skill to help me find ideas for my project. I added three extra irregular ruffles and made colour blocking at the fabric. Which made the skirt has a richer visual sense than before.

Art Studio 11 Core Competency Self-Assessment


This is the final project and the favourite piece I created in the art course. I use acrylic paint on the canvas to create my work of art. I get my ideas from the concept of protecting the environment and relate it with some traditional culture of my community. I forced creative thinking skills into this piece. I developed my creative thinking skill this semester. I can know where to start and stretch for new ideas. It is a good improvement as creative thinking is a helpful and important skill for creating works of art.
