Class Experience: Superhero Project

I listened to music while doing this activity. I tend to over think things and often find it difficult to go with my gut. The music allowed me to get out of my own head a little bit and just go with the flow, not think so much about the choices I was making and whether or not they were clever or meaningful. It was a nice feeling to just grab clay and go for it, to just follow my instincts. It was interesting to then step back and notice a few things about what I created. The first thing I noticed was that the colors I chose to create my superhero were the same colors of my childhood bedroom: Pink, Yellow and Orange Second, I thought it was interesting that even though i gave her an arm shooting straight up, as if about to take off flying, I then made a base to which I grounded her. Lastly, for whatever reason I wanted to give mu super hero gray hair. I had hoped to give her several gray hairs but unfortunately, due to the time constraint, only added on gray streak. When the time came to fill out our Character Fact Sheets  the only thing I truly knew about my super hero was that she was middle-aged. Looking back, I think it's funny that I made a middle-aged character and yet dressed her in my childhood bedroom colors. Not sure what any of it means, if it even means anything, but interesting to think about...
