Expression: Be able to express something through my composition.

Project Management:Be able to finish the project on time and make sure it is up to standards. ]]> 2019-01-09 11:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707280 Group project: Percussion Ensemble szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707281 1. Rhythm
Describe how you have demonstrated your ability to create rhythm using Percussion Instruments/other obejcts.

 As a group, we will first come up with a speed that we sustain at for the whole section. We had a structure, and each group created several samples of rhythmic motif and incorporate the rhythmic motif into the structure. The structure consisted of introduction, layering, call and answer and finale. So I attempted to play and come up with different new rhythms by myself. I would try different patterns to play, to create something completely new. Then we had to experiment to play together to see if the motif we created complimented each other. If we heard that something was out of place, we would try to find out what it was and try to tweak the motif so that it fits with the rest. We also had to build up the texture and call and response. We wanted to play something different for call and response, where the call and response are different, so that it will be more unique. We also focused on contrast in texture, dynamics and tempo.


2. Melody
Explain how your understanding of the use of scales has helped you to create Melody.

The understanding of use of scales helped me a lot as I knew the notes needed for the chords and was clear of what notes I was supposed to play in order for my melody to complement with the rest of the group. And avoided any unnecessary confusion of what notes to play.

3. Chords
Explain how your understanding of the use of chords has help you to create accompaniment and melody.

I used the notes in the chords to create new accompaniment and melody.  The chords could be organised and played in many different patterns. So I experimented with many different patterns to see which suited my liking and could easily be incorporated and complemented into others' rhythmic motifs. As I wanted to be more adventurous, I tried harder and slightly more complicated rhythms for the chords. So understanding the use of chords made it easier for me to create more complicated rhythms.

(Eg 1. My proudest moment was when my composition was impactful - it has an emotional effect on the performers and/or the listeners.
Eg 2. I could use my composition for a purpose (such as a phone ringtone) or event (Chinese New Year celebrations)

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
(eg. The greatest challenge was to be different from other groups as there is temptation to copy others.)

What can I do to improve?
(eg. To encourage my team members to give their best, and get every member to be fully involved in the group project.)

Yes, I have grown in creativity. I have been able to create original pieces of work in the different modules and even be more adventurous such as in DNT, my group mate and I made our Bicentennial Project in a way such that it looks like the number '200', to signify two hundred years since Raffles' arrival in Singapore.

Yes, I have grown in project management. I have managed to complete tasks and projects within the allocated time, and to the best of my ability. For example, during music, when we are asked to create a rhythmic ensemble using the drum, I was the chief and had to take the lead. Despite the time constraint, we managed to put up a good performance.]]> 2019-01-09 11:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707288 Expression szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707289 Have I grown in expression? Give evidence of your growth, if any.
Yes, I have grown in expression. For example, in art, my group mate and I came up with the project regarding friendship and kindness. It was a moral I wanted to convey through our stop motion video, and our video shows that sharing is caring and in the end, the 2 main characters even became best friends, to symbolise how precious friendship is.

Project Management: I hope I can complete my project timely and be more adventurous, trying new things.

Expression: I hope to be able to express the theme and design concept I am going towards through my design.

How did I do (with respect to my goals)?
I think I didn't do very well. As I managed to make the prototype of the different mechanisms work, but we didn't manage to finish it, we only completed the lever and the linkage. But this prototype allowed me to learn more and research about more other mechanisms. ]]> 2019-01-09 11:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707295 Rube Goldberg Machine - Prototype Using Resistant Materials szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707296 Insert video here

How did I do (with respect to my goals)?
I think I accomplished my goals as I managed to finish this on time and it was successful as the marble fell into the pulley box the clamp unlatched. ]]> 2019-01-09 11:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707296 Bi-centennial Commemoration Souvenir Design Project szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707297 https://drive.google.com/open?id=16vjeHNKMlmV1g29axDgYJ3z7c7r1FEOgYxJ6AumJpxQ

How did I do to contribute to my group (with respect to my goals)?
I contributed the main idea of the numbers ' 200 ' and also including the microbit, I had to loan the microbit for our project and a few servos as well. I helped in the cutting of materials and putting them together (the cardboard '200', and the plastic Sheet on top), I also printed out pictures for the characters (which although we didn't have time to stick on).]]> 2019-01-09 11:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707297 End of Module Reflections szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/318707298 With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment? 
My proudest moment was when I saw that we had completed our bicentennial project and it was something I never expected myself to complete. And in terms of expression, I feel that we were able to express the theme and design concept through our theme ' Little Red Dot -- Appreciating our history, Embracing the next 200 years '.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
With respect to my goals. my greatest challenge was thinking of ideas creatively as we had a hard time finding an idea as our ideas were mostly not feasible so in the end we combined both of ours together to form the final idea. :)

What can I do to improve?
I can improve on workmanship. As the materials that I cut for the bicentennial project wasn't that nice and wasn't well cut. Because I wasn't very patient so I wanted to cut it quickly, but I think it would have been much better if I had cut in slowly. Due to the lack of time, I couldn't redo it.

My proudest moment was when I saw our finished product, as we spent a lot of effort trying to complete it and we managed to complete it during the allocated time. We also went through many trial and errors, to finally get to our final product.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was creating more original works as our storyline was quite boring and not as exciting and thrilling as others, it will not be attractive.

What can I do to improve?
To research and try to work on creating such stop motion videos during my free time in the december holidays!

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?
- It looks very neat and tidy, the workmanship was well done, although it didn't work, but the idea was Sang Nila Utama sliding down into the box, weighing the box down, causing the other side of the pulley. to move upwards, pulling Stamford Raffles upwards and Lee Kuan Yew to move downwards into the box, causing the paper roll to unroll. I feel that it makes use of different mechanisms and I liked the part where the paper roll unrolls to reveal the words ' Singapore Bicentennial 2019 ', which was very creative. 
2. What can you learn from it? What elements can be applied to your own bicentennial souvenir?
- I can learn about thinking of different ways to include more key characters that played a part in Singapore's growth, and not being too ambitious as we couldn't finish it in the end. In terms of aesthetics, ours wasn't very nice so I think that is a point that we can definitely improve on, to make it more colourful. ]]> 2019-03-07 04:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/338708151 Lesson 1: Drawing exercises &. Lines stop motion szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/371026787 My Reflection:
- One new thing I had learnt: I had learnt how to create a stop motion video from scratch :D

- One question I have : Is it possible to make every shot look almost the same position, height etc. ?

- What I think I have done well: I think I did the animation and drawing correctly as the result seemed quite nice, but there is definitely still space for improvement.]]> 2019-07-13 06:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/371026787 Lesson 2: Photography and line animation exercises szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/371530453 My Reflection:
- Aspects that I feel I had done well: I feel that . I had done well in editing in the rooftop garden to my picture, although I took quite some time to edit in the plants, to create the "rooftop garden" kind of effect, the result turned out pretty well and I am satisfied with it. :)
- My feedback about digital drawing/collaging..: Personally, I find digital drawing harder to work with as drawing using my mousepad is definitely not easy and will not be too precise, which results in the drawing not turning out as expected. While I myself have tried collaging before and I think that it isn't as hard as digital drawing. It may take me some time to collage it as I have to repetitively draw and erase and even undo when I lose control and make mistakes, but I enjoy doing it as it creates a special effect and after seeing the end result, all the hard work pays off.]]> 2019-07-18 03:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/371530453 Lesson 3: Photograph/Found images collage szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/373955271 My Reflection:
- Two things you had learnt today:  
For the animation: 
- some movements we can use include allowing our character to roll, float, disappear, walk, bounce, etc  
- And we can make use of different compositions, such as balance (symmetrical/asymmetrical), rhythm, repetition, contrast, etc.
- 1 thing that you would like to find out more about: What is contrast (compositions)?

- 1 new thing you had learnt today: The different types of shots:
- establishing shot - to 'set the stage'
- close up shot - to show a character's emotions clearly/ to highlight a particular object or importance in narration
- medium shot - a camera shot taken from mid body
- 2 shot - a shot with 2 characters
- point of view shot - established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction
- aerial shot - gives viewers a deeper understanding of what is happening below, both literally and metaphorically
- 1 thing that you want to know more about: Are there any other special types of shots that are only used in special circumstances?

1 new thing I have seen today from others' works: I really liked one group's  artwork, where they put in speech bubbles and put the words in one by one, it was very attractive and appealing to me and also the background city buildings of theirs were painted really beautifully.
Feelings: I feel very proud and happy that we have managed to complete our project, it may not have been the best, but we put in lots of time and effort into it, from recreating an original character, to setting the backdrop and moving the waters to create movement. I really enjoyed this module as it really taught me many things, such as different color schemes, different types of shots, different ways to do a watercolour wash and creating a stop motion video. Really thankful to be able to be exposed to all these new concepts.]]> 2019-09-26 04:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/389841777 Reflection szerea_lee06 https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/401254589 1. One thing that really excited me was using the Microbit and being able to do hands-on during DNT in the DNT lab, creating works of our own. (DNT)
2. Some of the things I can design is games I play using Microbit, building Goldberg machines using the mechanisms and skills we have learnt in DNT, instead of buying one. I would use the Design Thinking Process by prototyping and testing out the Microbit after coding, as it may not work the first time and takes tremendous effort to re-look at the code and find out where it went wrong. I can also ideate how I would want to do it before trying it out.
3. I would use what I have learnt to fix things around me and help others solve problems that may cause them inconvenience such as broken things. And I would also help others by trying to make things that may be difficult to do automated. As well as art and music for entertainment of others.]]> 2019-10-23 03:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/szerea_lee06/b1saanedxvsl/wish/401254589
