Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
Myself
What materials will you need for your project?
I will need sticker material, computer, Cricut, and a drawing.
What is your plan to create in this project?
I will use the Cricut to create a sticker.
What unique qualities will your project have?
I will draw a picture and convert it to a svg. so it is original. I will put them on my guitar case when I'm done.
Day 5: I traced my drawing onto plastic paper so I could scan it in.
A Challenge I Overcame
The challenge I overcame was when we were trying to cut my design out, the flowers went farther than the sticker material stretched. We started cutting the design and it started cutting the board so I just flipped the sticker material around and it was fine. Other than that, there were no other challenges.
Standards It Tied To
During this project, I was a knowledge constructor and a digital citizen. I was a knowledge constructed because I feel like I could now run the Cricut by myself because I have learned how to run it twice. I was a digital citizen because I created a page on my website dedicated to this project that is shown to the world.
Reflection
Description of Creation
I used the Cricut to cut out one of my own designs. I drew this design with pencil then I scanned it in to the computer and made it an SVG. This made it so I could put it on to the Cricut app.I cut them out of vinyl so I could stick it on any hard surface. After I cut it out, I put it on my guitar case.
CTE & Career Connection
The CTE would be digital multimedia/multimedia artist. The career connection could be an artist or a sticker seller. I think these careers could work because I free-hand drew all the flowers and traced them onto plastic paper. I also created stickers and there are many companies that sell stickers.
What I Learned
I learned that when using the Cricut, the pieces that you cut out get cut individually so the placement of the flowers on my drawings was different than the outcome. When I placed the stickers on my guitar case, I had to place them by eye because I just peeled each sticker off individually instead of all together. I also had to re-align some of the flowers when I put them on.
Thing I would do different
I would move the stickers on my guitar case a little to the right. I don't love where the placement of the whole thing is. If it were a little to the right, I think I would look a lot better.
