My activities workshop went well, I was able to collect the feedback I need to narrow down the most effective and favoured activites for development. These were activities four, five and seven: learning a new language, mindful colouring and drawing a landscape. I found the most favoured exercises were by individuals between 18 and 30 and mostly female, I feel I could rebalance my appeal through quirky fun visuals though I now have a clear direction in target market.
Below are some results:
Activity One – outcomes
This was a successful activity, everyone was able to follow the instruction and visualise their breath as a drawing, the feedback from this was positive and helped everyone relax and feel uplifted, I found the same from my results from my presentation in Feburary.
Activity four – outcomes
Activity four: how to imagine and paint a landscape, this activity was one of the most successful, each individual created their own landscape and they were all impressed with their results, most took them home but I was able to keep some good ones. I feel this was mostly fun as they used basic steps but everyones came out differently, I feel this would be a good one for the magazine.
Activity Six – outcomes
Activity Six – how to draw an eye: This activity worked well however not everybody was happy with what they made, I found that people became more up-tight and worried about what they put on the paper, the best feedback was from the people who surprised themselves and felt good about what they had drawn and learnt.
Activity seven – outcomes
Activity seven: mindful colour also went very well; I already had the paints out from before so I allowed everyone to use up their pallets in this exercise. This was one of the most favoured exercises and helped everyone express their creativity, I had a participant mention the fact that if this was in a magaizne not everyone could use paint as they may not have access, I felt this was helpful feedback and has made me think about creating illustrations for colouring instead or as well.
Working Out Results
I used this chart to log my results, each chart it one individuals feedback so I logged twelve. I then counted up how many individuals voted a certain number for which exercise and turned that into a percentage.
Questionnaire
My results have given me direction in aesthetic, I provided four themes and it seemed that pop culture, nature and minimalism were voted highest and almost came won, however minimalism was voted most in context, nature was most favoured and pop culture was most inspiring so therefore my final theme is a combination of the three. I gave the participants the option to suggest and reccomend other ideas and themes for further experimentation and so I will now begin exploring these results visually and practically.
