Renaissance Exhibition Reflection
English:
I enjoyed the creative freedom we had when making our writing pieces, and when setting up our areas. I was able to be creative with it and put my own spin on it, especially because my guild had their own area. This gave us a lot of freedom to create the space how we want, and I think it turned out really well.
History:
The things that we learned in this class for this exhibition was very important, and a huge part of history. The renaissance played a very big part in history, and in what we were learning this whole semester. I think we tied it all together very nicely, and everything turned out good.
Math:
I also enjoyed the math portion of this project because we got to create our own games, and I had fun researching renaissance era games and putting our own spin on it (with chance).
Chemistry:
I enjoyed creating my molecule and doing the dilation from the actual molecule size (in picometers) to a scaled up 2 inch size. At first it was tough, but once I got the hang of it it wasn't that difficult. My molecule was Diatomic Carbon.
This project was overall pretty challenging for me, but nothing I couldn't handle or stress to much over. At first I didn't fully understand the project, but as I asked around, and as we progressed it started to make sense and became pretty fun.
The aspect of this project that was most challenging for me was writing my creative writing piece. I wrote two, a letter to my father, and an ad promoting my shoe shop (because my roll for exhibition was a shoemaker). The ad came easy to me, I had a lot of fun making it and I think it turned out pretty good. The letter to my father was a bit tougher, and I hit a writer's block while writing it. I eventually figured out what to put, but I think it would have made it a bit easier if I had more of a guideline or suggestions on how my story should go.
I got critique from a few classmates and my parents. The feedback was helpful and made my final products turn out much better. The ad got a lot of critique at first, and I think it turned out better because of it.
I am very proud of my shoe shop ad, because I think it turned out really well and drew more people to the shop. It also made the atmosphere during exhibition more immersive sense it was tea dipped and used font as if it was from that era. I am less proud of my letter to my father, but I am still proud of it nonetheless. It just took me longer to make and I struggled more when writing it.
I am happy with how I did and I think our exhibition turned out really good. I feel like I talked to a lot of people, hopefully taught people a lot, and even had a chance to shine some shoes. I am also proud of how our shoemaking booth turned out in the end.
My guest interaction, along with the others in my group, was a little different from the way other guilds would interact with guests, but still in a knowledgeable manner. We would shine people's shoes for tokens, or teach them a little about renaissance shoe making, along with having some example shoes and tools on the tables.
The only thing that I might change about the project is creative writing piece. I would try to find a way to incorporate it differently, instead of us just having it in our back pockets. I feel like I spent a lot of time working on it, only to show a few people my letter.
I feel confident about everything I learned about the renaissance, and I think I understand the impact that it left on modern day society. We still use a lot of the same, or similar technology as they did in the renaissance.
