Workshop 2

In today’s workshop we looked at various approaches of giving critical feedback. By donning the ‘Yellow Cap’ we say what worked well, by donning the black cap we say what didn’t work well, by donning the red cap we said out gut feeling/initial reaction and by donning the green cap we suggested alternative. By giving feedback from these different perspectives we give the creator a broader insight into what he/she has produced in order for the creator to learn. This method is also handy in stopping superficial responses, for example someone saying a certain creation was really good, when they didn’t think so.

In this workshop I presented my first project and even though I felt embarrassed, I learnt something that influenced how I went about in creating my next project ‘project brief 2’, instead of presenting myself in a relatively plaintive way (which I did for project brief 1), I used various images to represent myself in a more abstract, unique way that I think I demonstrated better in project brief 2.

Notes on Noticing:

– Reflection is a vogue term for ‘learning from experience’

-Reflective practice requires ‘living in, not mere occasional attendance’

– Noticing supports ‘picking up ideas and trying them out’

– Disciplined and practical approach to enquiry and research

– Disciplined noting is about effort, it’s an active thing.

– Marking is a heightened form of noticing, you are more likely to remember something if you mark it and

-Recording requires additional motivation.

Media is everywhere-can you even see it?

-Marking and Recording: These are heightened forms of noticing. Make a list, be intentional with what you are looking for.

– Your blog is a diary of intentional noticing.
