Back to Shu-Te...

Our first day back to studio was spent figuring out a final design to move forward with and begin mocking up full scale models in cardboard. Lots of confusion and contemplation, but I think maybe we have it narrowed down to something... I think?

Meanwhile, in boredom, I scored these sweet glasses from a group-mate and saw it as a good photo-op...







During studio was the Product Design Department's final show. They displayed metal, jewelry, ceramics + glass projects, which were all very impressive. These students are very skilled individuals. The project in this picture is handmade by my friend No-no. The theme is obviously fruit, and is entirely made from metal. I think the apple core tea cup and saucer is the cutest idea!





International Day was held later, recognizing the cultures of Taiwanese Aboriginals, Malaysians, Indonesians, Thai, Vietnamese and Americans [of course]. Each country gave a performance unique to their country of origin. Luckily for us Auburn students, Lindsay has an awesome voice and James can play the guitar. They performed "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz.

This group replicated a traditional Taiwanese Aboriginal dance, very cool.



Here are some beautiful Vietnamese girls in their traditional gowns.

After all of the performances, I got to taste some Aboriginal wine, a spicy Vietnamese dish + refreshing mango salad.
