Reflection One: Seminar

How did one writing assignment connect to your thinking in studio?
When researching information to support our memorial proposals, I found it helpful to use the exercise to gather games to play within my memorial.

“I have been in search of ways that my memorial can create a more playful atmosphere. Creative games is a great way to spark creativity without thinking about it to much, and this was exactly the article I needed. It described ten creative exercises that were originally intended to boost creativity in a classroom, and while not all of the exercises were able to be adopted for this memorial, I found three exercises that I can restructure for this memorial’s environment.”

I was able to use these four games to enhance the experience that my memorial would offer its visitors. Without these exercises, the memorial may have been left too open or aimless, so these ensured that the park directed its meaning toward the awareness of creative thinking.

About Me: I see myself as an experimenter by nature. My first approach to a new material or a prompt or a new product usually is to tinker with it and figure out how it works. I like to know the mechanics of what I’m working with, inside and out. Visual art isn’t enough. I value tactical products with performing intent, products that complete certain functions. When I start on a shoe design or a graphic or a product, my motivation comes from an improvement that I can visualize before I pick up a pen. While my works are generally vague as I’m still originating my style in my first year, my ideas are sparked by something I see and I know I can make it better. Indifferent of the obstacle, my approach is consistent: Tweak it and fail until a pattern develops. Find the root of the problem and attack it.
