After viewing your classmates’ digital posters and reading the feedback comments left on your work, what new ideas or perspectives did you gain about your poster? Reflect on how the feedback influenced the way you think about your creative choices and describe what you learned about the creative process while designing and presenting your poster.

  Prompt Response:  I gained the perspective that my work followed a specific "theme". I then saw how all the images and background correlated with each other, as well as how every image, for the most part, was the same color and style. What I learned from the creative process of writing my poster was that once I have an idea or a clear vision of what I am going to do, I can execute it effortlessly. Summary: Today we reviewed our classmate's posters and gave them positive feedback in their comments. Reflection:  Today I learned about the artistic choices within my poster.

If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality.

  Prompt Response:  For my three objects, I would choose a letter, a playlist, and a jacket. I am someone who lives for self expression, and when I love someone, I only want to express how much I love them. I choose the letter for my first object because sometimes I don't know any other way of expression besides through my words. Verbally expressing my love can give people some understanding of how much I feel, but I also chose the jacket because I love physical mementos. I love having a piece of someone I love that I can just surround myself in, literally. I choose the playlist because to me, music is very important and has always been around me so sharing it would be like sharing a piece of one another with each other.  Summary: Today we wrote poems to our parents for Valentine's day. Reflection:  Today I learned how I like to write poems.
