Working in group for Final Project!

Today we took the whole period to talk about what we learned in this class and the importance of each assigment, games, concepts, data, etc in this class. We made a list of all the things we covered in class since we started the first day of class. After reviewing the list, we talked about about Final project to our classmates getting new ideas, advices, references. It was really helpful to me because now I have a good criteria and its time to make my video.

why art 220 is different from other classes!!

Today's class was unreal, meaning it wasnt like the other classes we had. This time we talked about why art 220 is different from the other classes and students explained their point of view and perspectives of how this class is successfull in their career. In my opinion, its the first time I take a class like this, I enjoy each class because there is always something to learn. The professor is great in his critiria and phychology. There is a purpose for each assigment, games, video, etc. We might not use a textbook or read a lot, but this class is about to learn about ourselves and go to the next level with the teacher's help as out guide to the top. 

talking about Kali Nikitas N playing a group game

Today's class we started the day by talking about our thoughts about guess speaker kali Nikitas. I really enjoyed her introduction and ideas. She pointed out good things and talk about her process or path to be a successful person. I learned a lot from her speech, things that would be really important in my career as a designer. Second part of class was more about playing a game where we have to memorize two things and repeat to the other person and try not to lose the chain by going around. It seems easy at first, but once you get the two objects, there is a big change you mess up and the whole group have to start all over again. It was a great practice and also excercise your brain ( more active). Great day!

Presentation day 2 continu...

Today was the second day to present out product or games. Today was my day to present and to my luck I was the first one. I admited I was nervous because I do not talk a lot infront of groups, but I didnt do it that bad at all. I had couple of mistakes but I was glad my classmates told me my mistakes. I felt really confident after presenting because I learned new things and this also helps me develop myself as personal and with groups. Great day and knowledge.......

Critize presentation day 1

Today class was all about presenting our games projects and critize our presentation.  It is difficult to talk infront of people because we are shy, nervous, or just not use to talk. I learned a lot from this excercise because we learn from our mistakes and plus students and teacher gave us advices that will help us in the future jobs and interviews. I enjoyed it so much. Im a little bit shy when talking infron of people but I know I can do better each day and with practice I will reach my goal.

Describing our 9 new games to the class!

Today's class was more about critized each game. The teacher's main point of view was based on the title, purpose, how to play, and a real good concept. Some student did a really good job, and some others not. i enjoyed this class because we the students learned how difficult is to be critized but learn to do a better work and be competitive for this assigment.

game day!

TOday was all about playing games. Three different games with different people. I really enjoyed this day because it was about challenge and winning. Next class show 9 different concepts of games.........

film day (sir Ken Robinson) and explaining task for next class (game)

Well today we watched a film of "Sir Ken Robinson" talking about his book called the Element.The book is about What makes the difference+who we really are. Phenomenal speech in my opinion. Sir Robinson got charisma and very good points of view to defend his point. One important quote during his speech was " being good at something is necessary not sufficient" in which in many situations is totally true.

Discussed about maping

We talked about design map processing. The steps to get an A in our class. Not so much words but visual images that will make easier to understand the process to reach the goal. The teacher gave us samples and assigned a homework that in my opinion is great because we need this type of understanding and communication as a group by sharing ideas from students.
