Interactive Chalk Murals



Chalk Mural Critique

                                                                                                                                                        
1. Explain your experience working on a team and executing your ideas for the mural.
 
In my group we first brinstormed what kind of chalk mural we wanted to do, came up with a few ideas, and decided from the ones that we liked the most which we would actually put on the wall.  The final two murals we chose from was  mural with raining candy or the roller coaster which we all agreed to do.  We finally got the final idea and planned out what we wnted to do and what would be in the mural.  Everyone had a job and worked hard to make the mural the best it could be.  In the end we ended up with a good looking chalk mural.
 
2. Explain the importance of collaboration when working on a team.

The importance of collaboration when working in a group is key, we may not all see eye to eye on everything so collaborating and having pieces that everyone can agree upon is crucial to a good working team.  If you don't collaborate you'll have someone who is unhappy and won't be working the best they can and it brings the whole mood of the group down.  Even if everyone is very similar it may be very hard for everyone to agree on one thing so collaboration helps to sort out what people want so that they all end up with something that they can work with and enjoy working on.
3.  How successful was this project? Explain how and why.
 
In my opinon the project was successfull in its own way.  The reason being why it is has to do with the fact that we all liked the idea and worked quite hard to make everything look good, to make the roller coaster seem like it's park of an amusement park and to make everything seem real as if you could walk into it.  How we did this was used people's strengths and ideas in the mural, one person worked on the feris wheel while two on the roller coaster and two on the sky or ground we were constantly busy and working fixing what needed to be and looking at the big picture of how it would look.

4. Explain how you feel about creating artwork that others can interact with. Ex. Invoving the whole school? 
 
I feel that it's quite fun to make artwork that people can interact with and enjoy.  It works well for both the artist and the people who are just interacting with the art.  The artist gets recognition for doing a great job as well as gets to show off their skill on a wall for everyone to see, while the people who are interacting with the art get the little fun and laughter of interacting with the artwork.
