Exploratory Stage Evaluation

I really enjoyed the Exploratory Stage of Design and Media. I have learned a lot from each pathways on how to tackle problems and what is the best way to manage the challenges. Each tutors have different ways to tackle things however they sometimes are the same so I think It really helps that in the first 6 weeks to generate ideas and explore the things that you might be good at but haven't had the chance to do.

During the Rotation I wasn't really keen on the short deadlines because I always find it hard to work under pressure but I do understand that this has to be done. I have also learned a lot of lessons from the lectures that they have arrange and I now have a broad knowledge on how to become the artist that I want to be.

I have chosen to pick Graphics design as my pathway because I always been fascinated by it however I found it hard to choose between 3DD and Graphic because I always wants to be an architect. However when I attended to talk on Graphics I decided on the spot to pick it because of the fact that you can have the opportunity to continue as Undergraduate for Motion Graphics was just a fantastic opportunity for me.

I have learned a lot about the exhibits and learned that if I want to continue growing I have to consistently be active and visit some of the exhibit which are available to us. Exhibitions are not boring, you can actually find yourself and relate to the people who has done a particular pieces of art and the history of it.

Out of all the pathway I think lens base was not really my thing, I do idolized some of the great film maker and director like Stephen Spielberg however I think I have no passion for story telling and it seems just a lot harder than the other pathways.

The contextual writing studies was also great because even though I'm an art student I still have the chance to improve my writing and it is really important to me because English is my second language .

Life Drawing

I haven't done life drawing before and I was a bit conscious about seeing a man or a woman naked however doing it as art didn't actually bothered me as I though it would and I quite enjoyed that experience. As the tutor also said life drawing is always there even if your in degree course or ma course so I figure I have to get use to it as soon as possible.

3DD : Day 3

At the last day we need to build a bridge that will need to support from one point to another. As usual first we need to try some ideas before doing the final product

(2013) authors own

As a group we then brain stormed and unite all the ideas that we have to come up with a final idea

We came up with the idea of a see saw. We have heard that a car should be able to cross the bridge and we figure that if the car hits the end of the bridge it will go down due to its weight.

Unfortunately we did not execute the idea as well as we planned. The materials that we used was heavy and did not hold a see saw shape. However the car successfully cross the bridge.
