In this project, I use cardboard to redesign my self portrait.During the process, I found difficulties finding material so the solution were finding shape or pattern on cardboad then cut it out to stick on the paper. I also use plastic box handler to represent my mouth because the pattern is really similar to mouth. The last part which is my favourite part, I used cardboard to represent a basketball jersey to show my personal hobby and also barcode to present eyebrow. In this project I learned how to use recycled material to present creativity and make good use of resources.

In this project, we were ask to choose a visual art career, and I chose sneaker designer. I chose this career because I am interested in collecting sneakers.

My stregth of my work: I think my design have a clear mock up and I add some personal signatures. My favouirte part is this signature in the back bottom of the shoes, I like it because I like how it look unique, also if this sneaker will be selling I want it to be customize so the customer could design what they want in the back bottom of the shoes. I think the outlook were good but I might need some time to add more details and also decide the main color of the shoes. 

In this project, I think the most important improvement are my activness, in the previous project I didn't really show activeness like asking question or try my best to finish my work.Also in this project, I might spend too much time on brainstorming the funtionality so I don't have enoguh time to add detail and my final work only have outlook. In I have a similar project, I would like to spend more time on my final work instead of spending time on brainstorming steps.

General, I think my behaviour was fine but sometimes I might be destracted by something. I want to try to lock in and try my best to ignore any other issue or distractions.

During the ugly stage of my art work, I was confuse to design the outline of my sneakers but after I research some example, I found the "ah ha "moment and then I just suddenly start drawing the outline and the final outline I was very satisfy about it. But, the final work aren't finished so I was unsatisfied about it, I wish I could have much more time to work on this project.

Being a problem changer is very important because when you met the ugly stage of your art work, you might want to quit so problem solving skills are impotant. Real life example is my project, during the sneaker designing project I was strugling to design the outline of my sneakers so I decided to research on the internet to get some inspiration.

Before studying this session my thought about art were just normal, I thought art were just random sketching and coloring but after understanding what is art is. I learned that art is something that could help you stay calm and teach you some important thing about life. My opinion changed a lot and I think I felt more interested in this subject.
