Textiles Arts and Crafts Core Competency Reflection

We were assigned to sew a drawstring bag in Textiles Arts and Crafts.
 
I demonstrated communication in this assignment by consistently sharing my progress with my teacher, and asking for assistance from peers or my teacher when necessary. There was a written reflection component to this assignment where I shared how I intend to use this project and what I overcame or accomplished. 
I ran into the issue of the thread making the fabric bunch or stretch too tight, so I used critical thinking to decide I needed to begin sewing a centimetre from the top as to prevent this. The drawstring bag had several pages of specific instructions to follow. 
Personal awareness is another core competency I demonstrated in this assignment, as I was required to communicate my process, overcome issues alone or with the help of others, and manage my time to complete this project to criteria.

Creative Thinking

I demonstrated my understanding of creative thinking by designing and altering the skull based on existing designs, as well as creating the best method to make the skull pop. I decided that 3D tape would make the design come to life and have a dramatic result. To continue thinking creatively, I can use my own designs consistently and try new materials. To feel creatively inspired, I want to ensure I do projects I take interest in, and incorporate things I enjoy with projects I don’t share the same level of interest. I’ll ensure I use many resources to complete my projects and get new, unexpected ideas.
