Your
reflection is the place to document your process of discovery, creative
exploration, questioning, and the synthesis of ideas to artistic form and theory
with personal associations. The
following entries were structured to help you begin the process of sorting
through the concept of reflection. This
represents the minimum that should be represented in your reflection.
Feel free to add those statements or questions
that helped you sort through this project.
1.
Using the questions below as a reference describe your process of
experimentation in creating your two projects on pattern and color.
Include in your discussion your decision making process --for example
your idea/concept and the design considerations (form/geometry/mathematics),
craftsmanship issues, material choice, etc. and (how you made use of your
critique partner’s suggestions). Describe
the design and decisions you made and their relationship to the overall concept
of your project. Please be thorough
and complete in your reflection and address the criteria of the assignments.
2. When dividing the interior of the
polygon, did you use (or how did you use) the symmetry of the polygon in
creating your design? Did you use the fact that the sides were all the
same length (that the shapes we used are regular polygons)?
3. When deciding which shape(s) to
tessellate, did you consider the angles at a joining point (vertex) (the point
where the shapes touch)? Did the number of shapes, which touch at a point,
affect your design for your interior space?
4. Did you use a combination of
shapes, such as triangles within hexagons, to create the design of the interior?
5.
Discuss your color wheel. How
did you mix the colors? What colors
did you use? What did you observe
about value, color and intensity? How
did you use this information to make decisions about color as it relates to the
pattern you created?
6.
Describe what you did well.
7.
Describe what is problematic in your work.
8. Describe what
you learned about design in creating this to pieces.
How were the two projects the same and how were they different?
If
you use sources be sure to include source notations (bibliographic, people,
etc.) The assessment of your reflection will be based on the thoroughness and
seriousness of your effort. Be
as specific as possible, giving concrete examples (from your work) to illustrate
your creative process
