Final Reflection After the Show

I feel that the show was good because it was able to provoke different ideas and ways of doing things as we had different ways of making the costumes.

Overall I feel that the show went well, despite the setbacks of the different aspects that we had to overcome.

Next time, I would have started with more initiative than what I had started with for this Big Project, as I wasn't really sure what to expect.

What is your most important learning from this project?-  That something great can come from so little to work with. I apply this to the fact that we had unconventional materials to make the costumes from.

What was the most meaningful experience for you in this project?- Being able to design the way that the characters were to look in a more modern version of Wonderland.

How do you think differently than you did before? Why? - I think that this has made me feel differently about how costumes can be made because we were told to make the costumes, out of ordinary things like plastic bags or cardboard.

Progress Reflection

What is going well?

Being able to plan and think about what we can use to make our costumes out of, as well as starting to make the costumes out of recycled materials. 

What could go better?

Using our time more wisely, in order to be able to make the costumes faster, as we have a deadline inn a few weeks.

What have you started/completed?

We have started with the Queen of Hearts, we have just started to make a panel for her dress, which is made from old plastic bags that  have been sewed together. How we will use this in the costume is  by layering the panels of bags that we have sewn together to get the full effect.

What questions do we need to ask about this?

How are we going to be able to finish all of our costumes on time?

What items are we going to need to make the costumes?

How will we manage ourselves effectively, so that we can make all of the costumes?

Costume designs for the queen, knave, king, and cards

Today we were refining our costume ideas for the queen of hearts, king of hearts, knave and all of the cards. We had loads of different ideas but they have all been put into one costume. Here are the sketches:

Reflection Week 9-

Today in Big Projects we finished our preliminary sketches of the Queen,King and Knave of Hearts and the 2,5,7 of spades. I think that this went well because we were able to design all of the characters and reflect on what we designed with our group members.

To Do-
Add to the drawings
find materials for the costumes.

These are some brainstorms about costume ideas:

This is what we decided were our five main questions to lead our inquiry:

Sustainability-Lily

What I really want to see happen for this Big Project is :

I want the costumes to be made of recycled materials so that the world can be more sustainable to future generations. My big project goal is to be able to design a costume for the production that is highly sustainable so that it can be repaired easily.

My question for this is: How can we make a detailed costume completely out of recycled materials? 

What I really want to do in this Big Project is design the costumes for the Card people.
