Introduction to Principles of Design and Art Movement
Lecture :
Today was my first time meeting Ms.Lisa.We were told in a weeks advance (during orientation) to be well prepared and do our research about the meaning of Art Movement and what it is all about.She did show us a couple of slides regarding different art movement such as steam punk.She also showed us a slide regarding our assignment.
Ms.Lisa had then assigned us to create our very own mind map about ourself and to make a self portrait completely out of scratch using raw elements such as flowers,grass,rocks,moss ect.Trash was also encourage to be used.We were given a good two and a half hours to complete the task laying it all on an A3 paper.We would then be asked to present our art work/mind map in front of the whole class.We were also questioned as to why we wanted to be a Designer ?
Instruction to Exercise 1 :
1.Find out what represents you and make a mind map of it.
2.Collect natural elements such as flowers,leaves and even trash to make a self portrait of yourself.
3.Make it as creative and unique as possible,one that best represents you.
4.We were given two and a half hours to complete the task.
5.Lastly present your work up front.
6.Answer questions as to why you want to be a Designer?
My presentation artwork :
"This is who I am"
missed the "this"
My self portrait made out of nature elements
When Miss.Lisa told us about the task that we would be doing for todays class I became very well excited and overwhelm with joy,finally classes outside.We were briefly lectured about the whole assignment .Each student must go around the campus and find any sort of elements by nature such as grass and flowers ,we were also to use any form of trash into making our self portrait. The moment Ms.Lisa set us off I went dashing outside the class room walls.Me and Shu Ling and the rest of the girls worked as a team and picked out flower petals,different textured grass,leaves,anything eye catching.It drizzled a bit. Doing this assignment made me step out of my comfort zone,I was exposed to different elements which gave a bit of a challenge.
When it was my time to come upfront in the class room my heart skipped a beat I was quit nervous.There I was in front of the class about to begin my presentation but of course I stumbled a bit with my words and ended up giggling.I talked about my love towards mother nature,what kind of foods that I like,animals and my favourite shapes,which I don't have a specific favourite.There was a lot of teasing and laughter when it came to my part and others as well.This was a good sign,to me at least.I think a little bit of tease never hurts anybody,it sorts of breaks the ice.After I showed my classmates my portrait the big question popped out,WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE A DESIGNER? To be honest it caught me a little off guard,I've had all these words in the back of my mind but when the time came for me to say it,I fumbled .Though I quickly pieced the words I wanted to say I felt like I didn't fully justify as to why I wanted to be a designer.The reason why is because I want to create things ,things of which are my own,I want to create something and have someone admire my art work,I want to impress others and also myself,learning as I go on.To me art is my something unique and it is my passion tho Im not truly certain as to whom I might be in the future but im surely glad that im happy to be doing design.If you are passionate about something go for it.
