Sidewalk Chalk Project

Sidewalk Chalk Project

        On the first day of E-Comm, I knew just by the environment and the people in my area, that this was gonna be a great class. My teacher, Mrs. Zimmerli said that we were going to go to the Ravens Nest to meet up with other kids and classes that are also in e-comm. We did a couple of activities with trying to learn other peoples names. But when they said that we are gonna get into groups and work on a project together. I don't know why but I thought that was gonna be really fun, and if you know me I am not a person that likes to work together on projects. I am more of a work alone person because you can't count on some people to get work done. 

My group on the second table, sketching our drawings.

            But soon we got assigned to our groups and got the huge paper to sketch our drawings on since it was a drawing project that we were gonna do outside on the sidewalk in the courtyard with chalk! Our teachers gave us the objects that we could draw like the sun or ants. We didn't really think about color that much, only that we would color the object, what it looks like in real life. The meanings were really what spoke to me and related to me. Like a snake, the meaning was intelligent. I am intelligent because I had all A's last year in middle school, now that I am in high school, I hope to keep those grades and even pass some knowledge that I learned this year onto the new incoming class for next year. Another symbol that I drew was a ant, this symbolized not just intelligence but strength. I am not super strong but I want to become super strong for sports. 

   

 

My group working on our project

        Our organization for our square was not what we expected. It was not super organized or well thought out. We just separated the square on the sidewalk into four sections, for each person to draw on. I think we should have made a shield and then put four sections in there. Unlike our organization, our collaboration went really well, we shared ideas and then at the end, finally came up with one.  This project went super well and has become one of my favorite projects in school.
