I’m STILL thinking about our second all class meeting. I thought it was such a helpful session for a variety of reasons. I really loved seeing what everyone else is working on. It helped me see the shape of the work being done by the entire group, and the way that people were thinking about the topics that they are focusing on. I really am excited to see how peoples’ work comes to fruition. I wa also so attentive during class, not knowing when I would be called on, and it really helped me stay focused and engaged.
It was also super helpful to hear what is coming through from what I am thinking, and what other people heard. In re-watching the video, it seems that when I talk about potentially designing for animals, people hear “pets.” That’s actually not what I was thinking about. I was thinking I would design more for “wild” animals or non-domesticated animals. I also have been getting deep into garment creation rabbit holes, and it seems the animal angle is a bit stickier, which is a good push to keep some focus and attention on animals.
