So, it's not as though a fashion show isn't cool or anything, it's just that...
I feel like assigning each group to do a fashion show for their end of semester project is...limiting.
For example:
Ruby is a Mixed Media and Graphic Design focus. I literally cannot tell what her contribution to their final runway was.
(Someone tell me if they know what it is.)
Sunny's animations were good, but they weren't all that she could do. She could do more if she wasn't limited to doing a fashion show. A short film or animated music video would be cool.
And that's not even getting into some of the other people who's shows we didn't see.
What would Daria Roselyn, a Music Focus, and Georgia Bloom, a Performing Arts focus, do for a fashion show? Model?
What about Emi Vanda? Did she paint a set? Make props?
We don't even know who was in Colin's group, or what he did for his runway.
The point is, making everyone do a runway for their end of semester project can be limiting.
It also requires every group to have at least one Fashion focus, which seems a bit...unlikely.
A better system would be...well, it's complicated, but I'll do my best to explain it.
Everyone gets assigned a group. (I don't like this, but I'll leave it for now.)
The group has to agree on a project and submit their idea to a group supervisor for approval. (Our main girls would probably still do a fashion show.)
Their project proposal must say what each group member is going to contribute.
If it's approved, they get to start on it. If it's not approved, they have to make the changes their supervisor asks of them.
There's a deadline to get their proposals approved. If they're not approved by then, they'll be assigned a project. (I'm sure Miss Wright would have a few ideas.)
Regular check-ins would proceed as normal, with everyone showing the progress they made on their part of the project.
By the end of the semester, they have to have their project finished.
This could lead to some interesting ideas for projects, such as:
A museum exhibition
A clothing display
A mini concert
A short play
More ideas
This could be interesting. It could be fun to hear about groups doing something other than a fashion show.
And, like I said, giving the students a chance to pick their projects for themselves would give them better opportunities to show what they can do.
