project documentation

27.7.16

Last term we started a new project based on technology, art and music, basing on these we need to make something that fit in the common to solve some of our problems. First we got into groups that matched our interests and then come up some ideas that might work.  Our group was making the lap desk. Then the teachers choose some good ideas that might work for the common, after the teachers have choosed we had a chance to change groups, so I went to the picnic blankets group. Today we started to plan out the calendar and timeline that has when all the meetings will and when/what is going to be finished.

28.7.16

Today we didn’t do much, I started to design some patterns for the picnic blankets and the rest of our group was planning the calendar and writing the survey. We shared our work and and next step with the Korean students it was hard to communicate but we managed to do it. It was a really fun time sharing with them.

29.7.16

Today we finished the draft for the survey. Then Nicola and Mea went around the school to see if they liked it but the information wasn’t enough so they came back with nothing. It was good that we got the draft done, next time we could get the real one finished.

1.8.16

Today we did some of our designs for the picnic blankets,we came up with about 5-6 designs  and some of them seemed realistic and some did not, and we had a new person joining our group today it was Luna. The designs were really hard to make because we have to see if it is makeable and will everyone like this, I think this is a great challenge for our group .

5.8.16

Today we have started looking over the results from the survey and analysing our results and figuring out what we were going to do from what we had so far. We started working on our shopping list and what we needed to buy for this, it was kind of hard to know what to buy since our group hasn't fully got our plan on how we are actually going to make our picnic blankets and what we are going to use. Below is our survey results so far

We will be getting lots of fluffy fabric for the background colour of the blanket and felt for the designs on the blanket. Jorja is middle of making the designs for the blanket.
