Sidewalk Chalk Project!
The sidewalk chalk project was a very fun, creative and imformative activity for me and the rest of the e-comm students. I had no idea that symbolism was used in so much of the artwork we see throughout history and just our everyday lives. I had to be creative to come up with ideas for my symbols and for how to include everyone in my team's symbol in our final group design.
When our group was coming up with our designs we each chose the one symbol that we felt was the best and represented ourselves the best. When we had chosen ours symbols we just started mindlessly drawing and sketching out different ideas for a final design, until we found one that incorporated all of our symbols in a fun and creative way.
In the courtyard we each started drawing our own symbols so that they fit into the final design we had chosen. First we started with the lion, then the shield, and after that we drew the symbols that went inside the shield which were the snake and the yin-yang. I am very proud of the design that our team was able to come up with. When we were drawing the design we chose our colors. We chose our colors kind of carelessly and didn't put much thought into it besides just choosing colors that were contrasting so our symbols would stand out more. Sadly, we were not able to finish out final design but I am still proud of the end result.
The team aspect of this activity went very well for me. The collaboration was very good and we were each able to show our ideas and speak our opinions and thoughts before finally creating and agreeing on a final design. Although our communication could have been better, it got the job done and we were able to do the project successfully.
