Reflective Writing 3
Minji Kawck
Finally, I finished making my final project. My better lives course is 3D Mask Making about politics. It’s based on social responsibility such as president or nation. So I searched for the big political issues in my country. In 2016-2017 there were big issues in Korea. One is about residential impeachment and the other one is the sinking of a ship. At this time, all the people started the movement with the mask. The mask color based on the yellow color that means the sinking of a shipping issue. Also, they wrote down some words on the mask by using red, black, and blue colors. Red and Blue mean Korea. Black means the warning to the government. Thus, I decided to make the mask by customizing it based on the meaning of colors.
In the third semester, there are lots of projects to do. I needed time management. But, I failed it. So I replan the project timetable only 2weeks. I stopped the hang out with my friends and started the research and bought some materials for the mask customizing. And I collected the mask from my friends and my family. I tried to make the mask the other design several times. I wrote down the reason of fail on the note and tried and tried.
Finally, I made the make based on the research and the big issues in Korea. I used the color pens and real masks. Because I wanted to show the mask in reality. Even though I’m not a costume course student, I don’t have material for the 3D mask. That’s why I selected using the real mask and customizing it. I think to make the 3D mask in my home alone, that’s so difficult for me. There’s no person to help me, and no person let me know how to sculpt the 3D mask. This method was the best way for me in this course. But I like my final project. Because there is so a lot of meaning in my mask.
If I have more time and more material in the future, I want to try it again perfectly. And I will make a perfect plan for this project.
This course let me know the power and lot’s of things in life and to me.

For the peer review, I have chosen to discuss Minji Kawck’s third blog in which she reflects on the ’3D Mask Making about politics’ course. The reasons why I have chosen to review her blog are because I have always been interested about this course.
Her final mask design was approached from South Korea’s COVID-19. I love her idea of the attempt at this circumstance and I think this topic is very compatible with the topic of Social Responsibility. Currently, each country has a variety of news, and it is very interesting to choose Korea among them.
According to the content, she seems to have made a lot of efforts, including planning and making various attempts, to produce better outcome. She seems to have tried to approach the subject in many ways and aspects. And the results seem to have been made in a very attractive way to match her efforts.
At the middle and end of her reflection, she writes that she doesn’t have had enough resources and instruction. In my case, I agree with her very much because I felt that there was a lack of information and practice that the class delivered by the lack of face-to-face classes.
However, I was really fascinated by her work, and I would want to tell her that she should be proud of what she made.
To conclude, I think while reading someone else’s reflection, I was also able to reflect differently on my own works and the next steps that I can take in future projects. It was great to meet people from other courses and share ideas. I think Minji Kawck’’s reflection was both honest and thoughtful. It’s just so sad that the current situation was poor at creating her work with more information. Nevertheless, she produced fantastic results.
