End of Module Reflections

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
my proudest moment was when I saw the final animation of our pair project( The potato Girl). It turned out nicely and was very different from the other groups'. I felt like I had achieved something, used what I had learnt and my own creativity and imagination to create an animation that I never thought was possible.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
I think the greatest challenge is to come up with a storyline that is original, easy to elaborate on by ourselves.

What can I do to improve?
I think I could put in more effort into creating the final characters in our animation. if we had more variety of materials like straws, real food and others, the animation will look more creative and better.

Lesson 1 Animation 1

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

How this exercise has STRETCHED (Studio Habit of Mind) your expression on the use of line.
I learnt to express emotions such as sad or anger without drawing an angry face or someone crying. Instead, I can draw a fire, or dark clouds to show the same thing

Lesson 2 Adapted Photo Exercise / Animation 2

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

I feel that this allows me to come up with something that is just wrong. a kid holding onto a knife, a woman with a moustache. it allowed us to use our creativity.

Lesson 3: Collage Exercise and Animation 3

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

Insert images here. Insert video here.

(1) Are there any questions that you have about the use of Balance/symmetrical/asymmetrical balance and rhythm and repetition to compose images ?
I want to ask what would happen if we use those tools when it is not suitable?
(2) Was the process of using found images to create animation effective in helping you to ENVISION (Studio Habit of Mind) your ideas quickly? Explain.
Yes, it is. found images are foundations and I could build on. while looking at these images, I could already form ideas in my brain and it helps ideas flow more fluently in my head. Thus it helps me envision my ideas more clearly and smoothly

Lesson4: Animation 4

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

I do not think we did the shots well as there is only middle shots and no other shots. maybe we could include aerial shots and close up shots next time.

Lesson 5: Painting Exercise

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

Insert Image of your watercolour work here. Describe how you had used some of the following your work: Complementary/Analogous/Monochromatic Colors/ Composition: Balance/Repetition/Contrast/Domiance/Rhythm and Repetition/Painting Techniques , Graded wash, Varigated wash/wet in wet/spattering/dripping/wax resist etc.
I used monochromatic and contrasting colors, green greenary contrasting against the dull building.
I chose wet on wet for my painting technique to help blend the colors in better.

Lesson 6: Animation Critique (Understanding Art World, Studio Habit of Mind)

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

Lesson 6: Application of Creative Problem Solving Tool

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

Individual Work: Using SCAMPER to create original character. Deposit your character design here, which applied SCAMPER, using the google word template. Insert in Peer Feedback comments on where she felt that you had managed to STRETCH and EXPLORE the possibilities of your character in various forms using SCAMPER.

Lesson 7

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

Pair Work: Background/Establishing Shot Scenes Designs. Peer Feedback and Self Reflection. Insert in your images of your draft background/establishing shot designs.

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

1. With regards to safety in the D&T Studio, I been personally responsible and responsible to my community?
Yes. I always ensure that me and my friends are wearing protective goggles when handling wood cutting machines. I also do not push my friends when they are handling sharp objects.

Yes. I racked my brains for ideas and also ensured that all tasks are finished on time.

Gallery Walk

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

Insert a video of what you think is the most creative Goldberg Machine advertisement
here and answer the following questions:
1. Explain why it is the most creative. What can you say about the form (how it looks)? What can you say about the function (how the mechanisms work)? In what ways are the form and/or function creative?

2. What can you learn from it? What elements can be applied to your own bicentennial souvenir?

End of Module Reflections

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was when I was able to follow the teacher's instructions and complete a Goldberg machine.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was that I am not good with precision. Hence, when I measured lengths of my materials or screwed the screws into my backboard, I will never get it right on the first try.

What can I do to improve?
I think I should get on my hands more often. For example, I have a few mini DIY houses for me to build. I have to cut small pieces of paper and fold them. I will also have to learn how to put just right amount of glue.

Creativity

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

These are 3 important things I learnt about Creativity that can be used in my life:

You can dream and fly with creativity. Whatever that is not available or not invented, you can use theories and knowledge to build it. That was how things were

Creativity

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

Have I grown in creativity? Give evidence of your growth, if any.
I think I have grown in creativity. When I first started my module in art, I was still trying so hard for ideas on my animation. Hence, the animation was not very nice(lacked key elements)
Then, in D&T, I gradually got used to thinking with my creative side of my brain and was able to create my Goldberg machine with quite a bit of effort. Although I am not most proud of it, I have to say that I was happy with my progress.
Lastly, in music module.....

Project Management

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

zihan_he07 — 2020-02-14 01:42:30 UTC

Other than that, I hope to be able to dream more wildly and freely next year. I also to be able to be more knowledgable in Aesthetics. After all, In many games, "aesthetic" is used very frequently. I hope to get a better understanding of the "aesthetics.

Research

Kompang is a Malay instrument. It is round and is like a mini drum.
You can play it by tapping on it or beating it.

Djembe is an African instrument. Put your hands flat while drumming.

Reflection on 1st project.

zihan_he07 — 2020-08-11 02:22:48 UTC

I learnt the different ways to create sound. For example, we can use our hands, palms, pens or other stationary.
Also, I learnt how every one of us and form a melody together, when we sound weird individually.
i also had experience using DaVinci Resolve to create a video.

Wrapping Rhythm Reflection

zihan_he07 — 2020-08-21 01:34:14 UTC

I have learnt how to focus on my beats and come on time with the other members. I have also learnt how to use Domino effect, Call& Response, and texture.

I think we could have put our audios and align them better so they sound more coherent and together.

What is the one thing that really excited you?

zihan_he07 — 2020-10-28 00:51:39 UTC

Doing hands on activities and getting a break from all the stressful topic and classes.

What are some of the things you design around you?

zihan_he07 — 2020-10-28 00:51:51 UTC

plating
Drawing
building lego

How would you use what you have learnt to make life better for yourself and others?

zihan_he07 — 2020-10-28 00:52:53 UTC

For example, if one person could not pull some object up, I can use my knowledge in D&T to help her build a pulley.
