Example Project Documentation Post

The documentation of your project is a place to record your thoughts, feelings, processes, learning, and discoveries that you experienced through making and sharing your project. This documentation is valuable for sharing with others and saving for yourself. Both you and others can learn from what you have experienced.

Documentation uploads are due one-week after the project is due.

Your documentation post should include the following:

• Written reflection on your project. Write a few paragraphs on the following topics and answering the following questions:
  • Your Intention– What was your starting inspiration? What did you intend for this project when you began it? Why did you decide to approach the project the particular way you did?
  • Your Process -What materials and techniques did you use? How did you make decisions about your materials and your techniques? Tell us more about the choices your made during the project and why you made those choices?
  • Your Learning – What did you learn while you did this project? What did you learn from others about your project during the critique? What you would want to try next if you were to continue? What you might do differently?
• Photographs or video documentation of your project.
  • Samples – If you made samples, include photographs of your samples.
  • Final project photos or video – Include photo or video documentation that  helps us virtually experience your project or shows the multiple aspects of your project. Your photos should be of good quality with non-distracting backgrounds or additional items.
