I did a workshop on decorating and painting waste glass water bottles. Which was fun as I was able to learn a new technique which is called decoupage. In the decoupage, we stick printed tissue paper on the bottle which gives amazing look. I also learned how to make designs on the bottle by using a 3d liner. This experience helped me to improve my patience.
LO-1 ( Identify your strengths and develop an area of growth )
Being good at painting was a strength in this experience as I had to paint human figures properly which were drawn on a bottle and also had to perfectly paint the bottle. This experience developed my focus. Focus because painting bottles required me to put my attention without being distracted.
LO-2( Demonstrate that challenges has been undertaken)
While attending this workshop, a challenge I faced was to make designs on the bottle from a 3d liner. While making designs the 3d liner use to spread everywhere because of it I had to make the whole design again also it was difficult for me to draw on the bottle as the bottle has a curved surface. Lastly, I was able to do it with Maam’s guidance and techniques.
LO-4( Shows commitment and perseverance in experience)
I showed commitment by attending all the 3 days of the workshop regularly and wholeheartedly. Perseverance because I used to sit there for 2 hours and also did each step perfectly from coating the bottle with white color, applying blue and yellow color, then drawing the design from pencil, and lastly tracing that design from 3d liner for a finished look.
Conclusion-
Lastly, this experience was worth doing as I could learn something new and more importantly learn something from waste.
