Reflection of paperclip challenge activity
In class we repurposed paperclips to create items.
Throughout time, many simple items have been redesigned or used in a different
way than the original to suit a different purpose. A rock, for instance, was
once used as a nutcracker and then again, carved to kill other animals instead
of just left on the ground as it’s original function. We took twenty minutes in
class to transform paper clips into as many useful things as we could.
Something that could be a tool, a toy, or wearable and something that can
enhance, support, extend or display a meaning or purpose. I created four items:
a stand or holder, a bowtie, a picture holder, and a hook. After labeling our
creations, we walked around the room and other rooms to observe their work. The
most common objects were hooks, holders and stands for phones and other
objects, and finally, jewelry. Some of the most interesting items were toys or
objects that no one else thought of. And finally, we were asked to recreate our
best item for next class. I chose to recreate my bowtie.
