First Week of Lessons

The first week of our peer lesson presentations was met with anticipation of how the day would be structured and how we would begin the rest of our semester together.  The first week set the pace and standard for the following three weeks.  Helen and Kaylee were the first to present their lesson, titled "A Dream Come True."  Their presentation revolved around fantastical costumes and fashion mixed with a sense of hybridity.  As our art activity, we had to pair off and construct our own piece of wearable art that represented a past dream we had.  The second group to go was Holly and Kristen, whose lesson "TeleDRAW Game" was an art version of the classic game of Telephone.  Their presentation focused on humor in appropriation, and the activity was fun and interesting.  We each started with an image and had to describe the image using specific words so the next person would have to draw based on our description.  After each lesson, the class gave feedback to the presenters and commented on parts of the lesson that were strong and parts that were weak.  Having to accept criticism in front of the whole class is not an easy task, however I feel that we as a group are very open and comfortable with each other, and this daunting critic is not as bad as it sounds.
