End of Design labs!!!

I'd just like you to write a response about your experience in the design labs. Were they helpful? Were they pertinent to the material? Do you think you'll use the activities we did in planning your final projects? How so?

I admit, I wasn't sure whether or not I liked the design labs at first. I wasn't sure what to think of the whole design thing in general. I am not sure how to exactly unleash the creative side of me in general, and using that creative side is necessary in design. After getting past that "huh, do i like this" stage of design I definitely think that the design labs were more helpful than I realized., and they were definitely pertinent to the material.

I'm not sure that I'll use the exact activities that we used in class for the projects, possibly because I am not the designer, but I will offer ideas that were inspired by the activities that we did in class. The costume lab was my favorite. Personally I enjoy expressing myself through what I wear, and that was something that I could relate to. As for the other design labs, I'm not sure. If we use music in the performance I'll definitely try to keep in mind the activity we did in the first lab. Coloring is always fun...fun when it comes to coloring to the music. Peter and the wolf is good music too.

I liked the design labs, and I definitely thought that they were a good idea. Thanks Laura!
