Original Planning
Initially, the draft of the proyect proposed a simple object intervention to multiple cigarette packets, this was going to be done through the stencil and object intervention techniques. A non-conventional support based on Antonio Caro´s "Colombia" work would be done through a sarcastic perspective. In the 3D piece, by the use of the aesthetic presence of Meret Oppenheim´s "Breakfast and Banquet", some cigarettes were going to be covered with fur to show two dimensions of absurdity and the non-sense, the artistic one and the daily action one.
Shark Tank Presentation
The initial idea was presented with the shark tank presentation, the proporsal was qualified as a good idea with certain potential, I obtained the green color of approval from 3 of the 4 judges. They suggested me to modify the way in which I captured the attention, this through the inclusion of more variety in visual elements that contained and properly represented the concepts I pretended to manage, subvertizment and sarcasm.
Metacognitive Report
Reflection Paragraph
After the presentation of the shark tank, I had a very clear idea towards the operation of my project. Due to the accessibility of some of the primary elements I was going to use, cigarettes & cow fur, I made certain decisions of the model and its corresponding scale. I used an actual cigarettes packet, the mistake this lead to was that the 2D intervention would hardly be appreciated for its small size and, therefore, the comprehension of the messages would not be ensured. I mantained the conceptual approach but adjusted the way in which it would be exhibited, the messages were presented poorly as both of the products were shown as a whole but didn't have an explicit connection. The principal cause of all of this difficulties was the the misuse of class spaces destinated for the development of the work, teachers could have given me feedback and guide me in the curatorial decision taking. Lack of class advances was traduced in an incomplete piece that did not obeyed or followed the parameters proposed in the original idea. The references used were appropiated to the context and intention of criticism but the one of Miguel Antonio Caro couldn't be captured in a 3D structure (cigarette packet) so that the written critique could be read.
Failures
*Integration of the references to the proposal as a whole.
*Restructuring of certain aesthetic elements of the references included in my own piece.
*Visual presence & attractive.
*Subvertizment wasn´t clear since the representation was shown incomplete.
*I wasn´t able to represent the essence of the attitudes adopted by society in consumerism.

Achievements
*The approach to a context in particular through artistic elements & resources.
*Selection of references.
*Employment of new techniques for the elaboration of an artistic representation.

*Employment of new techniques for the elaboration of an artistic representation.
Punctual Modifications
*The title was modified from "Good things & Tobacco" to "A zoom to absurdity".
*A brief written contextualization was included to the final product since the concepts managed had a high degree of complexity and the piece was confusing without a justification.
*Cow fur wasn´t enough, it was replaced by artificial animal fur.

Improvement Strategies
*Present a sketch of the model to clarify any doubts on aesthetic approach along with it´s relation with the conceptual approach and maybe be able to obtain seggestions that help me anticipating difficulties.
*Prior to the design of the model, explore a wide variety of references and select those that allow me to address the concept in a way that it´s intention is understandable for the public.
*Acquire or generate knowlege around the inquiry I´m treating to avoid any complications of lack of information.

Public's perception & Feedback
My proposal could have worked with both of the excuses managed during this period but the series of wrong actions and decisions taken contributed to the exposition of an incomplete proyect in which several of the elements and criteria involved at the excuses weren´t included properly.
