INT 310: Creativity Circle Collaboration II

This is my buddy Curt, who is not in this class. We were to collaborate on passing our gold moves, until work got in the way.

In what ways did your creativity circle establish a safe, secure, and supportive space in your Collaboration check-in: 
  • Mutual agreement not to talk down to one another.
  • Share positive feedback only.
  • Show empathy when needed. 
  • Seek common ground during our Zoom discussions. 
  • Remain supportive within the forum discussions as well. 
  • Promise to email the group if we need another meeting prior to the final week to complete our projects. 
In what ways have course materials made you rethink the collaborative nature of the creative process:
  • Assurance that you need to feel supported in a collaborative space.
  • You can build relationships in shared experiences.
  • Exploring the idea of infinite potential. 
  • Reflecting on the principle of interrelatedness, how as a group, can work towards a greater solution. 
  • Embrace the principle of perpetual change, because the world won't stop for you.
  • As reference above and below, we created conditional rules within our group in order to create a culture in which an individual's creativity is respected. 
What did you learn from students in your Creativity Circle to help contribute to your final project:
  • Discussing how to set up our final projects. 
  • Brainstorming was not limited to just the portfolio; we discussed the final experiential projects. 
  • Concepts in collaboration. 
  • Sharing ideas about what to do and how to do it. 
  • Exploring all the options from notebooks to blogs to videos to photography. 
  • Encouragement and courage: to go for an idea, that no ideas at this point are bad.
How did you provide feedback to your fellow students regarding experiential learning projects and final creativity portfolios:
  • We revisited what we valued in a supportive space and how important positive feedback was.
  • Listening to one another's ideas: 
    • Terrie, notebook; 
    • Melissa, blog; 
    • Kirk, food photography; 
    • Audrey, small town exploration; 
    • Jennifer, cooking. 
  • Elaborating on our ideas and what may work for the final presentation. 
  • Asking questions to further an idea.
  • Discussing themes, timelines, and sample work. 
  • Reminder to make sure our ideas call back to a concept or lesson from the class.
