#week9reflection

Week 9 was the most enjoyable week for me because I enjoy looking at artwork and thinking “this can’t be a painted or create by a human being”. The historical artwork that I’ve posted for week 9 is beyond just a pretty picture. The artwork is called Ashurbanipal lion hunting which can be found at the British museum but its origin is from the Northern Iraq (Babylon) where I come from. Looking at the history behind it and the fine details left me wanting to go to the UK and see it. The artwork itself include a lion which is “Hosting the Non-Human”. Week 9 has allowed me to use my imagination and creativity to push boundaries and my thinking for my final assignment.

The first day of presentations went really well. Every group had a great solution to the problem presented in the design briefs, and I think every group nailed their presentation. Out of all the groups that presented on Monday, my personal favorite was the app that tells you the best way to get around campus. By now I know the campus well enough where I wouldn't really need it, but during first semester that would have really come in handy. Yeah you can put in the building address in Google Maps, but that only shows routes using streets. When you’re on campus, there are many different routes you can take by cutting across parts of the campus that they wouldn't be able to show on Google Maps. This saves you a lot of time and is much more efficient. I am very exited to see what the second half of the groups came up with later on today!
