Reflect on at least three takeaways that you learned from creating your project.

Explain what was difficult for you during this process and why.

Talk about feedback that you received and how you were able to incorporate that into your process.  

Takeaways:

- I learned how to use a lot more tools in the ilab including the sewing machine.

- I learned how to better respond to feedback from teachers.

- I realized how many resources I have for projects like that.

Difficulties:

It was hard working with my partner because most of our periods didn't line up and the ones that did we had been in the ilab for basically the whole day and it was hard to focus.

Feedback:

Some of the feedback was hard to respond to because I got a lot of different feedback from different teachers but the most impactful was to make our wearable smaller.

The 70's were a very eventful time for The U.S. One of the largest events was the end of The Vietnam War. Judy told us that as a young woman the Vietnam War was a very stressful time for her. Many of her friends were drafted, some of them she never heard from again. She told us that this took a toll on her, and camping with her husband was an escape for her. The 70's also contained a lot of technological break-throughs including the U.S. landing their second spacecraft on Mars, and the first Apple computer found by Steve Jobs and Stephen Wozniak.

The 70's were also a very sad time for the U.S. The war put a blanket of sorrow across the nation, and in 1977 rock and roll icon Elvis Presley was found dead in his home, killed by a heart attack. In 1979 Iranian militants illegally raided the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 hostages, they were held for 444 days in Iran. There were also a number great things that happened in the 70's. The Vietnam War was ended; President Nixon and 13 other countries at Camp David signed the framework for peace.

The 1970's were also a very sad time for the U.S. The war resulted in  sorrow across the nation, and in 1977  Elvis Presley was found dead in his home, Death by heart attack.

When we interviewed Judy she told us that when she was younger she really enjoyed going camping in New Hampshire with her husband. She described the smell of the tress and the fresh air as refreshing and humbling. We wanted to recreate this sensory experience through our Jacket/Scarf. The smell of a burning fire and the trees stayed with her so we wanted to focus on the smell. 

We decided to open up little pockets near the top of the jacket where we placed newly laser cut wood. The strong smell of the wood fire is supposed to bring out the sensory feeling of sitting by, and smelling the fire. While camping the rustling of the leaves and the snapping of twigs is a common sound. We wanted to make this sensory experience as accurate as possible so we added leaves and a few twigs to the outer layer of the jacket. This adjustment is supposed to bring out the sensory experience of sound and possibly touch. Sitting by the warm fire battled with the fresh air flowing through the trees rustling nearby leaves.
