ex 2 reflection prompt


Please read through the 5 series of questions below. Thoughtfully consider your response in the context of your Exercise Two experiences. Write your precise and articulate responses to each set on your design section's link below. Reflections are due by Tuesday, November 6, 2007.

1.
For the past few weeks, you have been focused on understanding an everyday object by unpacking it and playing it back. The guiding premise behind this procedure was stated in the exercise handout: “Attentive looking ‘ and ‘close description’ require both 'an interpretive framework’ and ‘strategies for representation’”. Consider your experiences.

a. What discoveries have you made about the relationship between attentive looking and close description? What procedures foregrounded these discoveries?
b. What discoveries have you made about the relationship between interpretive frameworks and strategies for representation? What procedures foregrounded these discoveries?

2.
Your investigation toolkit grew in this exercise, to include new drawing types, modeling, photography, Photoshop and other data gathering media and methods.

a. Which investigation tools and procedures facilitated your most significant discoveries? How?
b. Which tools and procedures offered the most surprising results? How?

3.
Unlike the individual work of Exercise 1, Exercise 2 was collaborative.

a. How would you grade yourself on your group work?
b. What procedures strengthened your group’s collaborative efforts?
c. How could a group working on a project offer different results than an individual?

4.
Has this exercise changed the way in which you think about and engage everyday objects, or not? If so, what new understandings are surfacing?

5.
Has this exercise changed the way in which you think about the design of everyday objects, and the role that investigative information plays? If so, what new understandings are surfacing?
