Here is an evalutation on my clock, where I will discuss the parts that are good and what improvements I can make next time.
This clock I have worked really hard on, and I am generally happy about the result - even after repairing the broken pieces... The cracks has changed from my initial idea of the artwork, from being slow - thinking about life, that there is still a lot of time left for us to live. That life is about loving, trusting and dreaming - to a bit faster pace where these cracks may signify thunder. Maybe that life as its upsides and downsides, and even though it is this way, we are still supposed to love, trust and dream to achieve our goals in life. This is actually the first time I have really been satisfied with my work!
What was good?
Firstly, I think that the idea is one of the best ideas I have made since I first started at MYP, It really shows who I am, and who I want to be, as I have always been into building my motivation for a better life. I think it was good that I only chose to paint three words, because if I had written one or two more, they would have been quite small. These words have an appropriate size.
Also, I like the way I have created space in front of the clock where I may want to put candles on when I bring it home. (Yes, I would like to bring it home.)
Finally, even though it is a shame that the it broke, I like the new, changed meaning of the clock and to exaggerate it a bit more, I have included darker purple on the left side and a bit lighter on the right side. It was actually not on purpose, but I still feel that it gave something a bit more to the clock.
What improvements can I make for next time?
NOT TO BREAK IT.
No.. just kidding.
I can now see on the picture that the words are slanted a little, so this is probably the first thing I would improve on. It also would be great if I could emphasize the cracks a little more, so that they really stand out. This was one of my goals last week, however because I had the whole artwork to paint, I didn't have time. In addition to this, I noticed that when we were to put the clock in on the back side, it just barely fitted and the needles almost got stuck on the surface of the front so they didn't move. We managed to fix this, but to avoid this problem in the future, I will make sure to leave enough space for the clock to fit perfectly fine.
Generally, I am pleased with my work and I feel proud to accomplish this, even after my inital idea was somewhat spoiled.
Loved this unit!!
