1. What is your favorite part about working in the Learning Studio? Learning Studio = MAKER/DESIGN STUDIO I like being able to make things outside of my normal range of abilities. For example, I usually work with pencil and paper, but I've been able to use a lot of wood/paint with my time here. 2. What have you learned about yourself through participating in the Learning Studio? I found that I tend to like watching people do stuff, and then follow after as a way to reassure the things I'm doing are correct. 3. How does your teacher help you be a better maker or designer? What kind of experience does he or she create in the Learning Studio? Ms. Rivera is really cool because she's always open to ideas and gives suggestions where they're needed. She's really chill and she lets us embrace our weird ideas. 4. What do you think are the most important values or character traits a maker or designer should have? They have to be willing to make mistakes and have the bravery to show what they think. 5. Imagine there is a new student in your class who has never been exposed to a making environment. What advice would you give them to be successful in the Learning Studio? I'd recommend them to sit next to people who will not judge them. Be it away from their friends or with them, that's up to their opinion. 6. Has your experience in the Learning Studio impacted your goals for the future? If so, how? It makes me want to keep going into my artistic field, but I also planned out cute projects with my mom we're gonna do. We're gonna try to make a succulent wall. 7. Have you made or designed anything for another person? What was it? What did you learn about that person through designing something for them? I made that drum thing, and it was fun to try to fit the person's descriptions of who they were to something especially when I had (and still don't) no idea who they were. 8. Has making and designing changed the way you think about the world around you? If so, how? It makes me appreciate how much thought comes into things that I wouldn't expect would involve creativity. Things like building architecture, while technical, also has to follow an artistic vision. 9. Do you find yourself using the skills you use in the Learning Studio in other classes or in other parts of your life? If so, how are you using making and design skills outside of the Learning Studio? When I get frustrated when drawing, I try really hard to fight the desire to give up because the whole point is that it's not supposed to be perfect in the first place. 10. What have you made that you are most proud of? What about the project makes you proud? I really like my Osova lamp because it helped me fix up the design for a person character of mine. The way that the plant looks was finally solidified in my mind, and that helps me take one step closer to the ending. 11. Is making important to you? If so, why? I think it's important to make things because it helps other people see the way you see things, which is definitely difficult to do with simply words.

(The sticky note fell off, but it said things about how I need to consider the length of the roof and had a suggestion for the roof itself.) My box will just be a normal box, except it will have a raised roof to protect my plants from the rain. I got the suggestion to make the roof out of plastic, but due to time I am not sure if I can really do so.
I feel most creative when I'm charged by events that happen in real life. Though I do tend to get exhausted from hanging around peop;le for too long.
SHE'S PRETTY. VERY PRETTY. I like my lamp because it looks like a fictional plant species I made. Though it's a shame I couldn't use the normal blue/green colors for it.
(This is the best picture I have of them off the top of my laptop desktop)
I think Hailey's good to have as a table mate because she's always super chill and makes sure all of us are sound mentally, which is often something that schools tend to ignore. Hailey inspires me because as an artist she thinks of things differently than I do, and it's fun to see what different things she can make so I feel I'm alright making things different too. |
