Blog 19: Senior Project & ESLRs

1.  What ESLR have you excelled in most in your senior project? 
I would have to say, that I excelled in being an Effective Learner throughout my senior project.
2.  Please explain why you think you have excelled in this ESLR.
I think I have excelled in this ESLR because in my senior project, I am forced to take it upon myself to learn on my own, along with some guidance from my mentors. But the reality is, is that I am responsible for my own learning, and my project has required me to be extremely creative in how I learn, how I present, my activities, and my independent component.3.  Provide evidence from your senior project to support your claim (evidence is a photo of something you are doing, photo of something you made, etc).
I have recently had to dispose of my old drafts of my furniture which set me back because it was going to be to heavy, so I revised it and made a simpler scaled drawing with correct measurements. I learned how to do scale drawings all by myself and have gained knowledge as to how to use drafting tools for my drawings to make it proportional down to the very last detail so I know exactly how it will look like. I took it upon myself to learn how to do drafting and use to tools efficiently.

This is exactly what it will look like including depth & proportions.

1.  What is your essential question?
"What is most important for a woodworker to consider in creating an aesthetic piece of furniture?"
2.  What is your third answer to your essential question (write your third answer in a complete sentence)?

The Soul of a Tree A Woodworker's Reflections by George Nakashima & my mentor David Wade.
5.  What do you plan to study next and why?

1.  What is your essential question?

"What is most important for a woodworker to consider in creating an aesthetic piece of furniture?"
