The Text of My Bridge Essay:
Reflection
- What did you learn from this assignment?
From this assignment, I learned how clothing could really reflect one’s identity by its color and shape. Also, by visiting the David Bowie’s exhibition, I realized how much he contributed to the music and stagecraft industry.
- What’s the strongest aspect of your essay?
The strongest aspect of my essay is the part when describing the Kansai Yamamoto’s garment. In that part, I believe I used the rich and sensory words to illustrate every single detail of the garment and also make a connection to David Bowie’s identity.
- What needs the most improvement, besides spelling, grammar, and punctuation?
The argument is the part that needs the most improvement I believe. In my essay, I didn’t have a strong argument that could stand for my statement. So, for the next version, I will add more detail and make it into an even stronger argument than the one I have right now.
- How did this essay shape your thinking in Studio?
This essay guided me through the thinking process in my studio. By that, I mean before doing this writing, I didn’t have any idea of what I should do for my wearable garment. Yet, after I started my essay, the idea just popped up in my mind .
