BICAS Reflection and Goals for the week of the 25th




BICAS Reflection Goals for the of the 25th
Today I went to BICAS! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I definitely had fun. First we got our hands greasy by rummaging through bike parts to use for a sculpture-functional or non-functional. It was a bit challenging coming up with something create as well as steel so it could be welded. I finally found some good materials and decided to make a spider to express my Halloween spirit! I assembled the peddle and gears in a spider-like fashion and then brought it out the Troy. I explained to him my design plan and showed him how I wanted my spider’s legs to be welded to its body. Then while waiting for my sculpture to be finished I converse with some friendly fellow classmates. I also started a "day of the day" looking mask, which I plan on finishing at home. After my sculpture was welded I got a great sense of accomplishment. I hope it makes for an eye-catching item for the art auction.
My week of the 25th goals are to revise, edit, and finalize my workshop one lesson plans. Once those are finished I will start my workshop two lesson plans, which, will be easy since I’ll have better sense of what I’m doing. I also want to get out to BICAS again next Friday to make some jewelry. I think that will be very fun and interesting. Another goal that I have is to get a better understanding of what will count towards my community work hours. I keep hearing different things and everyone seems a bit confused on whether showing up to BICAS in general counts. I’ll figure it out eventually. Well, that’s all for now!
