(Art Movement- Research)

Lecture:

Last week, before class dismissed, Miss Lisa gave us a short briefing about art movement and she asked us to back home to do more research art movement which we like and best suits to ourselves. We have to bring the result on next lesson, which is today's lecture. 

I have chose 3 at first. which is Futurism, Op-Art, and Western Cubism. My group have a meeting with Miss Lisa at 11.30. I reached there earlier and I was the first one to discuss with her. After the discussion, I do really imagined myself was like a Robotcop or any other things which related to mechanic as well. I rejected Cubism at first, which I like but not much at the rest 2. Miss Lisa gave me a suggestion which not to pick Op-Art because it is not much can I design. Last I have decided with Miss Lisa and chose Futurism.

So, to my research, Futurism was an international art movement founded in Italy in 1909. It was (and is) a refreshing contrast to the weepy sentimentalism of Romanticism. The Futurists loved speed, noise, machines, pollution, and cities; they embraced the exciting new world that was then upon them rather than hypocritically enjoying the modern world’s comforts while loudly denouncing the forces that made them possible. Fearing and attacking technology has become almost second nature to many people today; the Futurist manifestos show us an alternative philosophy. It is something in future. It may be real and may not as well. It's something seem not organized yet it is in a really perfect organized. 


This are the art movement (SKETCH) that I gave chose.
And what I have understood. 

The one week before due date, I asked Miss Lisa can I do something in 3D. The reason I think so is not like I wanted to show off or whatever. I just carry what Miss Lisa told me. #gobeyondyourlimit 
I don't want to be too flat. I want to try something new. And, this has been accepted by Miss Lisa. 

I have to admit that I'm just too lazy, I did not do anything else going to trip. After I came back from trip, I was play around for 2/3 days. I started to do this assignment just right 2 days before due date.

(Presentation and Assignment)

Lecture: 

Today lecture was all about Self-Portrait. Miss Lisa asked us to go around campus just to look for any recyclable materials for our assignment. Assignment we can include our face or any part of our body that can represent us. She gave us an example as well which leaf can represent our eyes. After all the explanation, she told us that this assignment has to be completed in 2 hours. 

This is my Self-Portrait that I have done in 2 hours.
Materials, plastic bag, plastic netting,  different colour of leaves, branch and colour pen.

This is my mind-mapping (MYSELF)
Materials: pencil and different colours of the marker.

After that, our presentation began. First, I explain about my mind map and then to my assignment. 

Just look through this 2 pictures, it is actually related.
The hand that I have done with the plastic bag which carry the meaning of caring in my mind mapping.
The brain that I have drew it like coming is mean to creative and crazy thinking.
The key that done by yellow leaf is mean I'm always creative.(most of the time)
The green eyes by leaves which mean the positive thinking in my mind mapping. 
The chocolate by brunch and plastic netting which mean the love! (Favorite food/ snack and people I love.)

Lecture:

We have been told one day before POD class that Miss Lisa may be late due to not feeling well by Mr. Ernesto.  Yet, it was the other way round. Miss Lisa was really punctual. She came to class on time just that she dismissed class earlier due to not feeling well. She explained to use what we should be done for our first part of our first assignment, which is under topic Self-Portrait.  It is an individual assignment. 

Throughout her explanation, she told us have to do a mind map which is about Myself. We have to show out who we are. (Just like a biography) And so, she told that the minimum size of this assignment is A3 size. She mentioned that we could do everything/ we could design anyway we like as long as it shows who we are, that is! 

Before she dismissed the class, she also mentioned that GOOGLE is our best friend in our uni-life. Miss Lisa wish us can go beyond our limit in every assignment. :)
