We did a small messy art project just not too long ago. Everybody got a chance to create a holiday wreath to represent Christmas out of pine, and other decorations. I feel like this art activity for sure matches with the Christmas holiday spirit, and I enjoyed doing it as well.

Today our class spent almost the whole day making holiday wreaths which was very fun! Something I found challenging was putting the cedar leaves in the wreath frame and tying it. It was a bit difficult for me because I sometimes had trouble getting it to look good, and sometimes the wire would slip out of my hand while I was trying to tie it. It was also hard to cover the wire that was showing when I tied it, because I would have to get more leaves and attach it on with another wire, and then that one would show. I overall just could probably do better at spacing the branches next time. I think I did much better at the decorating part though, because I made the bow pretty nicely even though I was rushing a little bit, and I made the other decorations look nice. Even though some parts of this was kind of hard for me, this project was really fun, and I learned a new skill on a way to make wreaths!

Learning intention

I can make a holiday wreath with cedar branches and various decorations.

I have achieved the learning intention. For example, my wreath had met the criteria and all the requirements. I learned how to make a holiday wreath with cedar branches. My strengths were in adding decorations to my holiday wreath. For example, My wreath had lots of decorations and look pretty good to me. My stretches were in covering all the wire with cedar branches. For example, you could see some of the wire of the wreath. Next time I will add more cedar into my wreath.

Learning Reflection

Learning Intention: I can make a holiday wreath using cedar and various decorations.

I think I met the learning intention because I was able to make my own wreath from a wreath frame and cedar branches. Additionally, I also decorated it with many materials, such as candy canes, ribbons, and fake holly. I learned the steps and techniques required to turn a plain wreath frame into a gorgeous holiday wreath. To make a wreath, I first had to trim cedar branches from the cedar trees outside and then tie groups of about four branches into a bundle with wire. Then, I attached the bundles to the frame threaded the cedar leaves between the gaps. Lastly, I glued and stuck decorations onto my wreath. My strength during this activity was being able to decorate my wreath with fewer materials since I finished the wreath later than others. For example, I have enough time and materials to make a bow, so I made different decorations instead. An area for improvement I had was the making of the wreath itself. The wreath wasn't thick and bushy enough in some places. I found attaching the cedar branches onto the frame a bit challenging because the knots I tied weren't tight enough and the cedar wasn't threading easily, so the bundles detached once or twice times. Next time, to improve, I will gather more cedar initially so I can create a "fuller" and bushier wreath without running out. I improved during and after the activity because I went from knowing nothing about how to make a wreath to being able to actually create my own. Making my own holiday wreath was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed it a lot.

How do you make your own Christmas wreath? Today, Division 1 and 2 got the opportunity to make their own Christmas wreath with a variety of mediums. First of all, I think my strengths were in the decorating and revising section. By following my plan which was drawn on paper, the placement of the flowers, pieces of ribbon, and ornament was well-balanced, and it made the wreath look attractive. In addition, I have a strength in trimming the wreaths. After making my general shape of the wreath, I found out that cutting some of the branches off proved to enhance the look of the overall wreath; I did of lot of this, tidying up my wreath and making it look better. Secondly, I thought my stretches were in attaching the bundles of cedar leaves to the wreath form. While I used a lot of wire to tie the cedar leaves to the wreath form, many branches still fell off of the wire, and I had to attach it on several times until it finally cooperated. Finally, I will try to attach the cedar branches in a sturdier and more secure way next time I make Christmas wreaths again. Overall, I think that I have met the learning intention in learning to make a holiday wreath, and I improved from knowing very little about wreath-making to being able to create one without guidance.

Learning intentions: I can make a holiday wreath using cedar and various decorations.

I think I have met the criteria because I follow the criteria and made a well-balanced wreath with various decorations. In addition, I thought using a hot glue gun on the wreaths wouldn't turn out looking good, after I used it helped me in different ways. One thing I could have done better takes more time on planning because the plan I planned isn't the same as the wreath I made. I found covering the branches challenging because it takes countless efforts to shape them without using any wires or paper clips. Also, I should have made my wreath a bit thicker and wider. However, I feel like my wreath is in a wonderful, circular shape. My strengths are making a thick wreath and using tools to help myself. Something I learned today is how to make a wreath and the importance of planning.

@vernice - Great job Vernice! I know I would clearly be able to tell what the main idea is even without looking at the learning intention, and that goes to show that you had a real good understanding of the learning intention.

Feedback - I like the transition, "in addition", but add a "to that" to it, because it seems incomplete: "In addition to that..." Another thing was with your choice of words, for example, you used the word 'plan' 3 times, (somewhere in the 3rd sentence), so I think you should try using some words that wouldn't normally be in you comfort zone.

Learning Intention
I can make my Christmas wreath only with cedar and different kinds of decorations.

I learnt how to connect cedar with wire, paper clips and ribbons. My strengths are using the hot glue gun to stick my decorations without getting hurt. My stretches are connecting the cedar together. Next time, I will improve on connecting the cedar together into a piece.

I met the criteria and the requirements

Learning intention

I can make a holiday wreath with cedar branches and multiple types of decorations.

I learned how to curve a hanger into a circular shape, How to attach cedar to a wired hanger and just overall making a wreath. My strengths were that I made a nice wreath. My stretches were making sure that my wreath had enough cedar and look large enough.
I will improve on putting enough cedar on the wreath.

My learning intention: I can make holiday wreaths with various cool designs. I really think that I met the learning intention because I was able to learn how to make something that is made of natural materials. I am good at covering the metal part with many pieces of cedar and adding many decorations. I feel like I did not put enough decorations and color in view of the fact that I did not put green and I should use the last pieces that people do not want. I finally improved on not giving up since I was trying to create the best wreath but then everything was too thick. Before giving up on creating my wreath, I realized that I should keep trying and then I finally got my wreath done. Next time if I want my wreath to look like a masterpiece, I really should get some decoration types that I do not have on my wreath such as candy canes, socks, small Santa hats, or any Christmas type ornament that isn’t a ball.

LEARNING INTENTION: I can make a holiday wreath by following the criteria.

I feel that I partly met this learning intention because I checked the criteria several times to improve my holiday wreath, yet I feel that I did not fully meet the criteria. This assignment helped me learn about the balance that something needs; not too symmetric, but not too scattered. My strengths were that I could cover the entire frame and make the wreath somewhat circular. On the other hand, my stretch was that I had a few places in my wreath that I could have covered up a bit more with leaves. Another stretch that I had was that my wreath might have been a little bit too scattered in the sense of it's decorations. A third stretch was that I could have added a larger variety of decorations to my wreath so it could pop more. For me, it was challenging to make the leaves of the wreath even, in both colour and distribution of bulk. It was also slightly challenging to organize the decorations evenly and neatly throughout the wreath. In summary, I feel that I have a lot to improve on in my holiday wreath.

Learning intention: I can make a holiday wreath using cedar and various decorations.

Have you ever tried making your own Christmas wreath? It may seem like a hard task to do, but in reality, it's not that difficult and also really fun. Some of the things I did well during this assignment was creating the cedar bundles and attaching them onto the frame. I was able to use all of my cedar leaves and connect them to the frame, somehow also managing to use the small amount of wire we had. Additionally, I was also able to add several scrap pieces of cedar I found around me and add them to my wreath base (the cedar bundles), which made the wreath look more complete. On the other hand, some of my stretches were not being able to add a lot of detail and decorations to my wreath since I spend a lot of my time helping with the door. Adding to that, I barely had any time to think about what I wanted to add, so I used all the materials I had and glued them to the wreath. Plus, almost all the decorations were used up, so I had limited resources. Lastly, for future reference, I'll try to put aside any other distractions and use my time wisely. In conclusion, I think I met the learning intention, and I definitely learned a lot about making wreaths.

I have checked the success criteria and met the requirements.

Learning intention: I can create a holiday wreath using cedar and various decorations. I learnt that

I completed the learning intention with various decorations and bushy cedar branches. I used lots of ornaments and decors for my wreath and made my wreath bushy and neat. I learnt that using hot glue was easier than tying ornaments on the wreath. I could've done better by doing the things I was supposed to do on my layout, so ended up differently than I anticipated. I had no trouble breaking branches and gathering them. Overall, I think I completed the needed learning intention.

Learning intention: I can make a holiday reeth with cedar and various decorations.

In this assignment I think I followed the learning intention/success criteria I’m not sure but I’m on my way to an extending because I’m not completely done.
Now on to my strengths I think my strengths are making the cedar nice and bushy but neat at the same time if you know what I mean. Some of my stretch’s is planning it out because I’m not a very organized guy. And one thing I would like to improve on is my decorations because I don’t have much on there right now but I’m planning to add more. That my learning reflection on the reeth art project.

@Matthew - Great learning reflection!
FEEDBACK: Make sure you check for the givens. For example, it's actually 'wreath', instead of 'reeth'. Another example is that it's 'stretches', rather than 'stretch's'.
FEEDBACK 2: On the last sentence, you forgot to add an 'is' in between "that" and "my".

Have you ever made a wreath before? Well, if you have, you would know that it isn't easy. It requires lots of creativity, problem solving, and patience. Today, Division 1 made wreaths, and I learned this lesson for the second time. The learning intention was: I can make a holiday wreath with cedar and various decorations. I believe that I fully met the learning intention. I was able to successfully make a wreath, and I used over 5 different decorations/ornaments. I think one of my strengths was that I was able to make my wreath 'bushy', and thick. One of my stretches was that I didn't shape it into a circle well enough. I think that I improved on tying the cedar bows onto the wreath hanger, since that was something I struggle with last time. Something I will do next time is following my plan, since I kind of just went my own way (it didn't turn out horrible, though). Overall, I think that I did pretty well, and this was a fun project.

Something that takes time, patience, and innovation, whilst being sort of fun - wreaths. Its almost time for Christmas, so class division 1 decided to have a little go in creating a handmade wreath. Many of them turned out beautiful, though mine isn't finished yet. Personally, I think my wreath turned out pretty okay, since it was quite circular, and the decorations were fairly neat and distributed nicely. Of course, there are some things I would love to fix, so starting off with the amount of cedar I put on. I wanted more of a bushy, to an almost loose look on the exterior, but that clearly didn't work out because by making the wires/strings a little looser, some of the cedar strands fell off the wire, therefore, I kind of gave up on the whole loose idea (because I'm not the type of person who has motivation to keep going). My wreath now looks a little thinner than anticipated, though I can't really go back now because I already started with the decorations process. I should've had second thoughts about it before, but its fine. A lot of the cedar ends were sticking out as well, but this surprisingly worked to be my advantage. For my 5 decorations, I had 3 different bells, garlands, and something I don't know the name of. The garlands were extremely long, so I was worried it wasn't going to fit on my wreath, despite the fact that I wanted it to slightly dangle off of my wreath. Even by doing that, it barely fit, so by using the stick-ends of the cedar strands, I hung some parts of the garland on it, which helped with the spacing. Other than that, I was actually happy with my wreath, mainly because of the spacing, and colours. Although I may not be able to do this ever again, I should make sure to plan a clear vision of what my wreath would look like, and maybe I could do this with other projects as well.

Self assessment - I think I have met the givens within the success criteria, but I should change the part of the sentence, "my wreath now," to "afterwards, my wreath looked," because I really didn't like how I phrased it.

Other than that, I was actually happy with my wreath, mainly because of the spacing, and colours. Although I may not be able to do this ever again, I should make sure to plan a clear vision of what my wreath would look like, and maybe I could do this with other projects as well.
