WHAT DID WE DO? WHAT'S NEW and CHANGED? (reflection and description of event / activity)

EVIDENCE OF LEARNING (include artifacts, photos, videos, drawings, sketches)

Personally, I would say that social interactions definitely had the biggest impact on myself during my time so far in the Creative Process intensive. Although social interactions has had the biggest impact on myself so far in the intensive, I would also say that the other three categories of SEED (experience, environment, and discovery) have also been extremely influential so far. Throughout our process social interactions with the teachers, group members, and other students, have helped my creative work the most. The first instance of social interactions having a huge impact on myself during this intensive was on the very first day in our first activity when we were doing making movements and sounds because that was a really good activity that made me feel more creative and I thought it was a great starting activity that helped our class be more creative. The time that social interactions had the biggest impact on me was when we presented our idea to the teachers and the rest of the class. From this experience my peers and teachers gave me great feedback, that truly made me want to be more creative and help change our group's project. After we presented for the second time in front of the class, and we got a lot of feedback, that was when our group was stuck at the bottom of the U. That was when I really started thinking and talking about our project with my group, and whether or not we should change our project. After speaking with Mrs. Ricci, and having a social interaction with her and my group members, that was when I really got on board with switching our question, especially if we switched it to something that involved play. In conclusion, social interactions with my teachers, group members, and class mates, have had the biggest impact on me out of all the SEED categories, especially all of the feedback and inspiration that they have given me during our social interactions.
