For the second sculpting project, I chose to look into the phenomenon known as the Dunning Kruger Effect. My shrine for this project will focus on how people tend to feel like they know everything about a topic by barely learning anything about it. As they continue to learn more about said topic, they realize that they know very little. Then, after they have become experts on the topic, they realize that they know quite a lot about it but still have limitations. This phenomenon is important to me because I feel like it is engineering in a nutshell. Freshman year, we all felt like we know a lot about what we were learning but this year I am realizing that I have only scratched the surface. For this project, I want to highlight how often this happens. I want to do this by either recreating the standard plot of the Dunning-Kruger effect or by making something similar but comedic. My audience for this project will be both myself because I have witnessed this firsthand and also others who may have experienced it but aren’t aware of it.
