This week, I have learnt how to be creative and come up with innovative sketches. I have been finding this very hard because we have to revolve the ideas around the concept of sustainability. This creates a harder task when it comes to creating the costumes. For example, instead of sewing together a lot of circles to make the ned of a caterpiller, you can use old chinese paper lanturns and paint over them or something. I have learnt how to be resourceful and creative.

I think I did a good job at grasping the concept of making the costumes sustainable. I believe that I was really thinking about using any resources I can to make a successful costume. An example of this is how I used umbrellas to make a costume for a caterpiller. I think this was very creative because most people do not use umbrellas in a costume for a caterpiller.
I think I need to improve on not overthinking the whole design process. I think that I was overthinking the whole thing because I was trying to be as sustaiable as I could and that I was thinking too hard about sustainability and not enough about actually designing costumes.

Next week I am hoping to start physically making the costumes or at least starting to get resources together.
