As Stone Soup jumps from my childhood into the present, it was very interesting on how I thought we would perceive this concept through our Design 1 class. It led us to a construction of a piece with our group; in which the outcome became a college of pieces we had put together on a tree. My thoughts on this assignment were that it was very creative and a good form of an icebreaker for the groups. Our project consisted of a college idea contributed by all members of our group.
We each just started piecing together various parts separately, than sticking it on our piece as a whole. The main focus was the giant flower in the middle, but along the way our other aspects of the college overwhelmed that part and it got somewhat lost within the piece. The piece has various piece doesn't have a specific meaning to it, it's not an everyday object or something that one can recognize. It’s more like a piece for your thoughts, because there's so much happening on it, it's hard to follow just one thought through it.
The materials we had varied from various items such as; paper plates, present wrapping strings, and even a Finding Nemo cloth piece. My overall thoughts of our piece were that it was very symbolic like a puzzle; every member contributed to a piece – which very wells follows the concept of what stone soup is. See if you can find Nemo is our piece.
