collaboration clean up project

1.Studio Maintenance Identification– Identify a section of the clay studio that requires maintenance and take a photo of it. What is the name of the item, space, product, or tool? What is this item, space, product, or tool used for? What does it look like, versus how it should look like?

The area that we decided needed maintenance was the cubby which stored paper, cutting mats, cardboard, etc. The area looked a bit unorganized from how many people took out and put stuff back into the cubbies, labels were missing, but overall very messy. I believe that this area should look more tidy with proper labels so that it is easier for people to identify and access.

2.Division of Tasks and Process– How will you collaboratively maintain this area? Who will do what? Take process images of the maintenance going on. At least 3 photos of you and your team doing work.

With Emelia, we organized the area. Emelia put on the labels and organized the space underneath that, and I organized the paper section and the rest under that section.

(we were too busy organizing that we forgot to take process pictures)

3.Completion of Maintenance– Once you have maintained an item, space, product, or tool, take completion images. How has the maintenance of this item contributed to the classroom or environment?

Once we finished cleaning up the space, it contributed to a more clean, clear atmosphere. It was easier to identify what was where in the area that we organized, which I think is something very helpful for anyone in the art room as it gets really difficult trying to find something.

Trickster Concept Map- EFP12

LINK TO CONCEPT MAP

This concept map focuses on the role of trickster figures in First Nations literature. We read many stories that included trickster figures and analyzed each to identify their significance of appearance.

Overall, this concept map helped me understand that tricksters aren’t only negative characters, but characters who play a huge role in teaching lessons and telling stories, specifically creation stories. They also demonstrate what not to do, as well as explain the tragic past events of the Indigenous culture.

EFP 12- Oral Story Telling Podcast

 

Summary:

In our podcast, we discussed upon the stories: Trapline, Charlie, You’ll Never Believe What Happened, What is it About us You Don’t Like, and The Story of Starvation. We mainly focused on the topics of intergenerational trauma, abuse, racism, and family violence.

What I learned:

This podcast was a great opportunity for us to reflect upon our internal thoughts and opinions regarding the underlying significance. I was very glad we got the chance to share our thoughts, as it really widened my perspective and knowledge on each of the stories and how they represented the painful past and present of First Nations culture. I learned that from storytelling and communicating with others, we are able to connect on a deeper level which seems to stay remembered for a longer period of time, or even forever.

 

Studio arts 12- Inquiry project

For my inquiry project, I want to try using the pottery wheel since it is something that I have never tried and want to try. I was in the studio arts 3D class back in grade 9, mainly so that I can try using the pottery wheel, but due to COVID-19, I wasn’t able to try it, therefore I want to try it this time.

I don’t want to make something too complicated since it is my first time using the wheel, but I have an idea to make a pencil holder/cup. :

I was thinking of using the wheel to create the base of my project and then I’ll add additional pieces according to the sketch of my design/idea.

I want to create something that hasn’t been made before in my style. Here are some photos to help imagine the style:

  • delicate-looking
  • unique
  • textured

Life Below Water Research: Northern Fur Seal
For this project, I have decided to make a stuffy of a Northern Fur Seal, as shown below:

This specie has been endangered from the increase of waste that has been released into the ocean. Garbage has been affecting these seals’ lives by interfering with their comfort and ability to live stress-free, such as strangling, suffocating, and piercing. In relation to the endangerment, the population of these seals have been decreasing every year. In addition, global warming is also affecting these creatures as it interferes with the temperature, making it less ideal for Northern Fur Seals, as well as other creatures.
In contrast, the solution to helping these animals and decreasing the chance of decrease in the population of Northern Fur Seals is to limit the usage of plastic and non-biodegradable material, and/or recycle these materials. To decrease usage of this dangerous material, we can also spread awareness and spread the word about how our actions are affecting the wildlife around us. Furthermore, to prevent global warming from becoming a bigger issue to the us and the life around us, one of the many ways we can help is to limit the use of gas cars by various ways such as walking or taking public transit.
