DI Reflection #6

This week we repeated the process of creating bricks on the other side of the set and got through that within about 20 minutes. Once the school set was finished it looked quite good, so we focused on the back of the set, which was to be an art gallery. This side of the set was less precise and more fun than the schoolhouse one, because it was essentially a spray paint/splatter paint method. We brought the set outside and painted a base color, and then each of us took a can of spray paint and painted whatever we felt like on it: doodles and patterns and lines, etc. It was a good team exercise I thought, because we were all involved with it. However, I have been concerned about finishing the puppet on time and practicing our skit, because we haven't had much time to think about all of these things. So, we were able to get our set finished in this meeting, which is great because we'll have time to put finishing touches on it before we begin. I am nervous about the puppet, especially because we decided that the puppet is going to be our character that experiences a "flip" in perspective: to illustrate this, the puppet flips upside down to reveal a different character. This is a good idea, but we need to make sure that the concept works and practice with it well before performing.
