Reflection - Concept: PART 1 

• WHAT... did you make? is the function? does it look like?
• WHY... did you make it? is your inspiration or subject? is your additional sculptural element? is the story?
• WHO... is your audience? would like this based on its design and subject?
• WHERE... would you use this chair? is a space that is most fit for the function + form?
• HOW... will you improve the work in the last few studio days? will you glaze the piece to complement the form + concept?

Reflection - Criteria: PART 2
