Sketching and Drawing

Our museum exibit is a large mushrooms play house for young children. The previouse exhibit inhabiting the space was not getting much interactions from the kids. The space is an open hallway with a fire exit and a elevator behind the children's playhouse. We decided we wanted to continue the house into that space. It consisted of a puzzle wall, crocheted mushrooms in small gardens and a mushroom house as the main attraction. The House is 6.5 feet tall and has room for a 5 year old to stand comfortably. The crocheted mushrooms are soft so if they are thrown over the railing they wont hurt any of the people below. The garden pahces have velcro that the mushrooms are attached to. This allows visitors to pick the mushrooms and use them for games.

I started this project in a different group then I ended in, I was really struggling to communicate with my teammates becasue they were much older than me. I felt like for a while I did not actually understand what we were doing becasue I did not ask questions and tried to provide my own input because I had been planning to work in a different group and on a different project. A few day after our first museum

visit I started trying to engage with my group about our work. After that it became mush easier to work. I learned how to adjust to new situation nd let my ideas be heard so that I am part of the final product and proud of my work. Our project went through many transformations during the construction this all required our efforts to be in sinc so that we could persist through any issue we ran into and come out with a wokring product.
