Finaly finished 3rd help project

For my third project that I helped with was Molly's clothing drive. I helped paint posters for the drive. I learned that in order to have a successful project you need to have a eye catching poster. Bright colors contrasted on dark paper is very eye catching. Next time I would paint a little bit more carefully because I messed up and some of the letters look a little deformed. The pros of my help was that the project was able to get started a lot quicker, two painters are better than one. The cons are that my work is not always as clean and organized as Molly's so if she did it by herself the poster probably would have looked a little bit neater, but time is money.

Reflection on 2nd helping project Nicks Signs

I helped Nick with his project where he made motivational feel good spirit posters that he posted around the school. The posters really made walking down the hall a more enjoyable experience. I learned that a simple short project that only took one class period could do so much and lighten up someones day or make them laugh. If we were to do this again I would make the posters a little bit higher quality, but that would have taken more time.

Reflection on Origami Experience

The Origami Experience project was a success. People showed up and they all listened to instructions and we worked together to make a unit origami sculptor. The project did not get finished due to lack of time but the club will finish it next week. Next time I would of made a desicion on what we wanted to do exactly before all the people showed up. I knew we wanted to do origiami but I wasent sure if they wanted to work together, good thing we all did in the end. Some of the cons of the project was that there wasent enough people to help all the people that needed help, we should have got a couple of experienced people. I took pictures and I will upload them as soon as I get home.

Reflection on 1st project I helped with "AHS dance off"

I helped Emily Chung and Jared sharp with their dance off project. I helped make the posters and informed people about it. The project was more successful than we thought it would be, everyone that signed up showed up and danced. I learned that proper advertising is key to success. The pros of it was that it was successful but the cons are that there was no gain off of it, no money was raised that could have been, but then again that could have discouraged people from praticipating.
