2nd Class

This class was very interesting and I was looking forward to what other people had come up with for the egg assignment. I was very disappointed in my own experiment for my own egg but was looking forward to what other people had done. I really like the stop motion one where it resembled reproduction, I thought it was very clever. I also like the one with all the different pictures taken of the egg and from all different angles. I thought there were a lot of great ideas and a lot that I wish that I had thought of.

The Eggsperiment

The egg assignment was the most interesting one I have ever received and really expected nothing less for this class.  I was completely blank in terms of what I was going to do for the assignment as there were absolutely no guidelines.  So all I had to do is something creative with the egg which could be anything.  I have to be honest that even when I started messing with the egg I had no clue what I was actually going to do.  My plan was to cut a little hole on one end of the egg and and then make a design on a plate with the gooey stuff and place the yoke separate somewhere in the design.  I was also going to take the shell and brake it up into pieces and incorporate it into the design.  This was my plan, however it ended up being a disaster and look nothing like I imagined.  The consistency of the gooey stuff didn't come out like I thought and it all kind of just merged together and just looked a puddle of clear goo.  And then after I messed with it to come up with some kind of design, I tried to place the egg yoke on the plate and it broke so it all just looked like a big mess.  

So what I learned from the assignment is that trial and error was very present in my idea and it was just a big error.  Although my idea didn't pan out how I wanted it to, I liked the idea of the assignment of doing something other then cooking and eating the egg.  I think it's a good idea to look at other common objects around and think possibilities they could be used for other then their common use.
