Week 10 Collaboration

Task 1: Discussion

This week we discussed these questions in relation to a group creating a design in collaboration:

01 – What are the 3 best things about your efforts for this year’s exhibition? 
Being organised, organising the group, Maintaining a clear and effective timeline.

02 – Did you manage time well?
Very well.

03 – Did you manage materials well i.e. test prototypes?

Yes, materials were gathered and tested early. This took the guess work out and built contingencies for possible future failures.

04 – Have you researched installation methods?

We have discussed this process, designed a layout and started the process of gathering materials for instillation. This is leading us to ask the questions, what is available, what do we need to provide.
As the Exhibitionist is displaying the work we are also asking what are their capabilities.

05 – Have you made a shortlist of the essentials for the last WEEK? 
We have a shortlist for the next 4 weeks leading up to exhibition. We plan to finalise everything in 3 to ensure we meet deadlines.

06 – Have you made a shortlist of the essentials for the last DAY? 
Yes, we have a list of what we need on the day, this may be extended as we discover we need to re-set our pin-board due to the exhibition process.


Collaborating is something most people need to do during their working day, here is a video reminding us of the essential skills in collaboration:
