Blog 18: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #3

1. What is your essential question?

What is the best way a seamstress can create a "Gorgeous Wedding Dress"?

2. What is your third answer to your essential question?

My third answer is client tell. What I mean by this is setting a price for the dress that covers the cost but isn't to high in price, as well as the brides happiness with the dress.

3. What are three details to support or justify your third answer?

a. Brides who get custom dresses have a designer dress that they want to remake without having to pay the high price for it. 

b. Knowing how to price the dress will be helpful so that you are not losing money on the dress you made.

c. If the bride isn't happy then she can either walk away or make you remake it which is time and money lost.

4. What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?

Blog 16: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #2

1.  What is your essential question?

What is the best way a seamstress can create a "gorgeous wedding dress"

2.  What is your second answer to your essential question (write your second answer in a complete sentence)?

My second answer is adding on embellishment to the wedding dress. This is my second answer because most brides don't want a plain white dress but will want something added on to said dress to make it their own. Knowing when a dress has to much or to less is a need fact as well as knowing how to put on said embellishment, whether it is on veils or dresses.

3.  What are three details to support or justify your second answer (details are examples or facts)?

Most wedding dresses today have some sort of embellishment on them that fits the dress.
mashines that work mainly on the type of beading work are made to make beading of dresses faster but there are classes that teach beading with a normal machine as well as hand beading that can take a long time.
Some of my research talks on embellishing the dress and the veil as well as ideas.  

4.  What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?

My Independent component as well as the embellishing research, numbers 30 and 32. 

5.  What do you plan to study next with your second answer and why?  (You would say "I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing ____________"?)

I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing more research as well as how tos and I will also being learning with my mentor soon because we will be embellishing a dress.

Senior Project Update

(1) What are you currently doing in your independent component? 

I am making bridal bags and bridal headbands.

(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project?  The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November.  Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.

With my mentor I learned about how to measure right and I feel that is important because it helps with alterations later on. Also another  was looking at the European School Of Design Pattern Design book because they gave a lot of help how to make patterns as well as tips and pointers and what you should do.

(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did.  For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.

Topic Choice

A. My Topic and Why

             My Senior project topic is Video Game Design (development though ages). I chose this topic because I grew up watching my brother and his friends play and eventuality playing them myself and with friends. Getting older and having new games come out with new systems, the way the are animated or the look of them changed. Even though the newer games look more realist, I still love the animation and 8-bitness of the games I grew up playing.

B. Hopes to Accomplish This Year

• IPoly Citizen: I plan to show students something that I enjoy and that they might find inserting, while teaching them what I have learned. I want to teach them about the differences of newer and older games, and maybe even somethings that stayed the same. Maybe even get there opinion or help with different parts of my project. This relates to the me improving as a iPoly Citizen because as I learn and teach others I am growing in knowledge of how the works of a video game are done, as well as picking up skills within technology.
• Effective Communicator: I plan to give basic step by step info on how to games are done because I understand how hard it really is, while trying to making the lessons fun and interactive for those who are learning. I'll make sure to be as knowledgeable as I can to help answer any questions students might have. This will make me more effective as a communicator because I am able to understand my project and will learn how others understand it as well.
• Effective learner: I plan to learn as much as I can about my topic and ask as many questions I can on my topic to fully understand it. I will pay attention and repeat what I have learned until I understand what it is that I did. This will make me more effective as a learner because I will be able to get other things that are taught to me and may learn a different ways of how to understand something.
• Effective Use Of Technology: I plan to be doing research on my topic though the different websites, as well as make use of the programming on the computer or other technology that makes games. I will be constantly making new discovers about how to work different programing and animation. This will make me effective as a user of technology because my project deals with and works with many types of technology that I will hopefully learn more about.
