Assignment 3 - String Project

The string project that we completed showed us that lines could go in any direction and by mixing several lines together, shapes are created. We also saw how adding in other objects such as stools, chairs, computers, and tables allowed us to vary the shapes much more easily.
During the string project, we all worked separately and did not necessarily explain what we were doing to each other. Had we all worked together and communicated more, our strings would have been more united instead of extremely chaotic. Our project would have been more creative as well if we had worked together. Emilia created a man on the floor using the string, but had we talked to each other more we would have been able to incorporate the design into the entirety of the project.
Once our project was completed we were shown images of the same project finished by three other classes. As we were viewing these photographs, we began saying how much more creative their string designs were. Other classes used people in their design and stacked chairs on top of one another to give more height to their design. We made these comments without having seen our own design from above. Most of us did not stand on the tables and see all of the strings from a higher perspective. From the other classes' images, we saw many ways that we could improve our own design. We also kept in mind that we had to clean everything up, so we tried to make it not as complicated. Had we not cared so much about the cleaning up aspect, our project could have been much more elaborate.
