This week the lights arrived and we had all the materials that we needed, so we were able to begin properly begin disassembling the palettes. We separated the slabs and removed all the nails, along with measuring the wall and ensuring the palettes were the correct height and width.
Finalising
After the christmas period we came back and had our 'canvas' to work on. The palettes were mounted on the wall and we had wire and tie wraps to attach the lights to in order for us to be able to manipulate the lights into words. Before we did this we had a group discussion regarding the quote itself and we decided to change it, so we individually found a quote we liked and voted on the class favourite, my quote was "An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail". We then voted and chose the quote "Don't stop until you are proud". Once we had changed this we then got into pairs and created a word each. Lola and I made 'you' then later helped other groups.
The finished product wasn't something we were completely happy with due to lack of communication, one word was in capitals whilst the rest was in lower case. So we decided to change this as seen below:
from this we were able to critically analyse our work as individuals and as a group too. This project required a lot of research in regards to equipment, and also a lot of work when we decided to break down the individual palettes. We were able to stay as on time as possible, however with time slots in college and availability we tried to be efficient in the two hours a week as possible. The finishing outcome looks really good with the lights turned off, the lettering looks hand written and is clear to read. We also thought that the colouring was really nice against the wood in the classroom.
Overall this project was a success in comparison to the last time, we had good theoretical ideas however practically we didn't produce the work to a high enough standard.
To conclude, this display board has shown our skills and creativeness more so than the last time we did it as the communication was a key element this time round and we were all on the same page, be, I think we were able to produce a display board that is eye catching and intriguing to those walking past and it also effectively gets across a good message and quote students can act upon.
