domino evaluation

 

In the morning, in our group work, we used the technique of dropping a domino off of the table to hit others on the chair to fall on the floor to continue the sequence; this was reused in the afternoon although just used as falling onto the floor to avoid complications occurring.

When working in teams we all started different parts of the domino topple individually and eventually came together and worked as a team on individual parts of the topple which held errors. When it came to different roles in the team we also followed this.

As problems occurred in the domino topple we fixed them as we went along; an example would be when we made sharp turns in the domino topple which caused the dominos to not fall in the pattern that we wanted them to. To solve this we stood the dominos further apart. This then restricted the patterns we could make with the dominos

 

When the whole room was producing the large scale domino piece, we had to connect the dominos all together to achieve a working large scale topple. To do this we had to talk to the connecting groups and discuss how we would link the dominos together.

One thing that went well in our domino topple was a fall onto the chair which continued onto the floor this was tested many times. Although many things went wrong such as the piece which was attached to the ceiling via a piece of string then released by a domino falling onto it, to release it to fall onto others. However, this didn’t work as it got stuck since there wasn’t enough pressure onto it to release it from its position. One thing which I would change would be to test the domino topple more often to ensure that no complications occurred.

I think that in the amount of time we were given, we could’ve created a domino topple which was bigger and more individual/unique.

Over the whole day I think I gained better teamwork skills to put forward into different situations. Also I met new people which made me more comfortable in the situation I was in.

My strengths in the domino topple were building certain obstacles, such as bridges and steps, into our domino topple to make the designs more intriguing.

To improve the piece I think we should have tested it more to ensure that it wouldn’t stop as easily as it did.

It is important to be creative and play as a designer so you can discover different types of art which you never knew you were interested in or could achieve in.

To be creative means to stem into other genres of art and discover more to widen your range of artistic techniques.
