Entry 7: End of Term, It’s the last Project
Aww… can you believe we already end our terms? We just presented our
project this morning. And I feel kind of sad since there will be no more
creative class after this *unless I failed, well let’s hope not* because it’s
approaching finals. I don’t know it’s just that I already get used to group
project, out of the class and evaluate. Yeah what do you expect, Bell. You are
an IT students so why would you go out often, isn’t it? Now, this might be the
longest post? Since I am totally hyped up with this project, so it might.
Classroom redesign project. It is redesigning the classroom. Tell me who doesn’t
love it. I mean everyone have their own ideal classroom right? With personal
preferences and stuff, don’t you want to build a defined classroom?
Here it goes, for this project we have to brainstorm what criteria of
the classroom that we were in that was actually lacking in terms of giving an
ideal classroom environment. You want me to describe our class? Okay, imagine a
large classroom, with small size tables that are arrange 10 columns of tables
in 4 rows. That would make a 40 tables classroom, which was arrange next to
each other with only one exit. The classroom itself, is a gloomy classroom
since the lighting was not working properly, and it makes the whole class seems
sleepy and drowsy. How would you focus to study in an environment like that? Well
that is certainly our class for creative subject at 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm.
First of all, we described the whole class, and afterwards we pointed
out on what part should be improved and fixed to make a more friendly and
inviting classroom. We come out with a concept at first, well I suggested the Café
Classroom concept because I saw an article about café in Korea, which uses
library as a theme. It is called as Comma Café and the interior is very
library-alike. I will attach some pictures of the café later on. And it seems
really inviting and comfy to be in a place like that for study purpose and
relaxing when you are overdose in studying. Plus I am a coffee maniac so why
not, coffee is great at all time.
We then starts to sketch and puts up everything that we think we need in
a classroom that is themed as a café. Café bar, hmmm sounds enlighten isn’t it?
Then we comes up with more ideas on what to put in a classroom, but we did not
just simply put it there without any reasons. Hey, we are all students
ourselves, so what we decided was based on our experience as a student for a
solid 15 years. As the sketch was done, we have to do research on what kind of
classroom environment is actually suitable for learning to be essentials. Therefore
we did some research in the internet and we got exactly what we were looking
for. We extract the points and apply it in out project, and before us starts
with the prototype we go through all of it once again to ensure there’s no data
mistaken from the articles.
Fatin downloaded an application called as Sweet Home 3D and she
implements all of our final decision of our design to the application. It turns
out really well. Unfortunately, because of the limitations in what the software
can do, we have to step back from our plan to make our classroom as a café themed
class. Therefore Fatin changed it to a slightly simple design but it didn’t get
strayed from our main design. It was the U-shaped seat arrangement and resting area
that are the most important aspect in our design. We are aiming for a class
where all members can see everyone’s faces all the time, without being blocked
by anyone since the communication process can be done better in this part. Other
than that, bonding and chemistry between each members in the class can create a
more comfortable place for everyone.
What’s more important than creating bonding right? After the design was
complete, we worked on the report together, gaining and brainstorming every single
details from what we have done before together, and guess what, so many moments
happen during that. We spend most of our time together and lots of things that
we talked about, laughing, straining from grossness when things get funny, and all
of it becomes a wonderful memory. It might be hard if we do it alone, but what
we felt was completely different. I don’t know about the others but I have a
lot of fun while doing this project. You know the feels when you said something
that come across your mind and then the others were thinking the same thing
too, isn’t that wonderful? I mean it’s not always that you share and tells out
your opinions and suggestion to your friend in a sudden way right? So this
project definitely helps us in creating memories together. Like, whoa guys we
are having the same thing in mind right now so how is that even possible?
To conclude my not so interesting blog, I will say that this course,
this class, this subject is a very new thing to me, and it taught me a whole
new side of creativity. For someone who hates creativity like me, I might take
it back. Well I am taking it back. Creativity is not something like you invent
something new, and if it’s beautiful then it’s considered as creative. No that
is not it. More like you work on something that need improvement, which will
make a happy memory together. All this while, for almost 4 months learning this
subject, I am proud to say that I like this subject and how it affects me and
the bonding with my friends. We share mostly on what output that we get from
all this presentations and projects. On the very last of the presentation for
this term, we realize how much of great things we have gone through. I am
really thankful to our lecturer for letting us to have a taste of this great
course, great class and great experience and we will definitely not forget what
we learnt, because we put so much effort in this project to make it work and be
perform successfully. Since this is the last post, I will put up more photos as
a memorial tokens. Thank you ICT500.
Love, Bell 슈아.
