Critique of the Twigs

Today in class we broke off into three small groups to individually present our projects to each other (and a few staff members) in order to get feedback about our models.  As a group, our job was to agree on the three main problems with our twig projects as a whole group and bring that information back to the mass group later on in the morning. The result of our personal group issues turned out to be: craft, defending our work/having to explain our project for a lengthy period of time in order to get the message/story across and binding agents. My project personally needed to be better crafted on the edges and the twigs needed a more specific way of being connected to the form I had created. The feedback I received included: Make the color teal stand out in a different way to better illustrate why you chose that color, binding the sides together or choosing a two sided color paper to make the entire project flow more logically and attach the twigs in specific holes at their various heights to make it more personal. 

In our mass group discussion, we learned that these various categories need to be addressed when planning our final models: Visualization, Variety Reduction, Binding Agents, Color, and Scale. I will need to take into account all of these every time I create something for a critique or final presentation.
