Task : Dadaism

Dadaism is a movement in art and literature based on deliberate irrationality and negation of traditional artist. As we cant see many artist express their feeling through art work same to dadaism the artist express their feeling and their perception through art either with drawing, collage or make sculpture. In dadaism they not care about the beautiful of the work but the meaning of the art that only the designer cant understand it.
We are ask to pick 6 things and put it in the box and we exchange the box with other person after that we are divided into a group that each group have two member and my partner is Alexis. So now we have 12 things and we must pick one topic as the issue for this project and our topic is TRANSGENDER. I want to show what is transgender in my project and my things is bracelets, chain, coin, soap, masking tape, wire, batteries, polystyrene cup, plastic bottle that has been cut, shell, plastic cup and tissue roll.

We just do a sketches for this project and we must relate the dadaism into our project. We take the Marcel Duchamp as our reference artist. We choose he  because of his photo that show he wearing the women cloth. It show the connection from our topic transgender because he  is man and wearing women cloth.

Other than that Marcel Duchamp also famous with their work name Fountain. He use the term that is ready-made for develop his idea. Same with us, we just use the things that we have to make the art about what is transgender.








LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Dadaism is the art with no rule and we can do it as a place for us to express our feeling.

Task 2 : Movie Sequence

We are ask to make a movie sequence from the story that we have choose from the first task. My story sequence is about Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. I must using the software to design the character but after I think again about it I decided to use food as the character of for my movie sequence. I use flour for design the snow white and the prince character and I also use basil seeds to design the witch. I use food to design the character because in the story snow white the climax of the story is about apple. Therefor I using plate and the food for this movie sequence. I also use software like photoshop and illustrator to edit picture of the seven dwarf, the castle, the mirror, the horse, and the seven dwarf house. Other than that I also paint on the plate. This is my work :
 

I find that not easy to make this task because I need to really understand the story and identify the plot of the story also I need to think what kind of movie sequence that I want to make. So this is my final work for this task. 

At first I want to make this movie sequence into a puzzle because I think this story is about a life story. A life story is not complete if some of the part of the story is missing just like the puzzle if some part of the puzzle missing so the puzzle is not complete. But actually this story is more to love story and the main thing in this story is the apple so I think why not I make this movie  sequence on the  plate. 

LEARNING OUTCOME

• Try to understand what medium and the things that we want to use to represent the story so it will give some effect to the audience when they look at our work.

Task 3 : Design Process Using Visualization Methods

After the last task that we have make the form now we must make the form with the function. We can use the same object or replace it with the other thing. I decided to take two object from the last task it is a chopstick and the cloth pick. At first I want to make a basket but after that I think that I have a problem to manage my scarf. I have to many scarf and the hanger that I use for hanging my scarf are not enough space and I have to hang it double and it make me difficult to choose the scarf when I want to use it. So I make a decision to design a new hanger for my scarf that is easy to hanging and have many space so I can hang all my scarf. At first I use the small chopstick and I find out that when I combine the two chopstick and hang the scarf it will band and it not strong to hang many scarf on it.

The two chopstick that I glue it together

After that I go and find the other chopstick that is long and strong to cover the scarf. This is the result for my project :

I make the hanger have two side, one row can cover 4 scarf and I make it 6 row for each side. I use the hook at the upper of the row to make it easy to hang inside the cardboard. This hanger also easy to turn around and easy to bring anywhere we want to go. It can be separate by two and took a small space to keep it. To make it more nice we also can color it with the nice and suitable color. I use the cloth pick at the side of the chopstick because easy to take off if we want to bring it anywhere. I choose this shape because it will easy to manage compare to the circle shape. Other than easy to manage the scarf also will look nice without many wrinkles.

LEARNING OUTCOME

• As a designer we should design something that will solve the problem and make the work more easier.
• When we face the problem try to solve it by design something not run from the problem.
• When we design something try to make it useful and easy to handle.

Task 3 : Design Process Using Visualization Method

We are ask to chose at less 5 object and we must use it to make a form. For this task I chose tooth pick, cloth pick, and chopstick. I try use tooth pick to make a form. I make a triangle and square shape from the tooth pick and this is my work:

I make the side cross to each other to make it look nice. After that I try to lap it with the same shape but difference position it look like a tower and look beautiful. I also try to make from the triangle to become a star. The star can stand we can put another triangle on it to make another form. After that I try to make a square shape using a cloth pick. It look too simple so I decided to combine it with the triangle from the tooth pick that I have make and put some chopstick at the side of it and this is how it look :

the look from the up

The look from in front 

The look from the back

This is how it look when I look at it carefully it look like the king chair. The triangle at the side of the cloth pick make it look nice. I use cloth pick because it easy to take off and we can form it into another form.

LEARNING OUTCOME

• Try as many as you can to do an experiment to the object that you have choose. Sometime the result for the experiment we cannot predict and it will give you a surprise outcome.
• For me it not a easy task because for this task I need to do something without think the function.
• I learnt that sometime the form come first and than followed by the function.

Task 2 : Process Book

Create a structure by utilizing such units in an interlocking manner.
We need to take picture as many as we can and than we need to use the picture as a mark making. After that we need to edit the picture using the software like photo shop and illustrator.
This is some picture that I take as an example of this task.

Mark making is a effect from the thing like pen on paper, water color on paper, scratching mark in plaster, or anything that leaves a mark on the page are call mark making.

I must create my own mark making by using anything. I have try to use the Chinese brush to make a mark making, and this is the result 

From here we can see the color of the ink went we use the difference material. Some of the mark making in this picture are made by brush and some are made by the Chinese brush. we also can see the difference effect when we use more water or less water in the color portion.

This is the mark making that I made using the illustrator. From here we can see the movement of the object

Picture 1 : mark making using software

Picture 2 : This is the mark making that I made by using the marker pen

This idea I get from the concept illusion, the repeating of the same color make it look like the illusion and the using of the difference color make it look like a moving object. Other than that The using of the same size of line but from difference direction and using the positive and the negative color. The triangle shape make it look contrast because it have a difference shape and difference color.

  

  For this mark making I use the color from the tube and put it on the plastic and put the paper on it. The mix of the color look nice and I use 3 base color to make it it is yellow, red, and blue. From here we can see the color mixer and contrast of the color.

 Other than that I also use mark Technic by using my finger tip.  

Lastly for this mark making I use the color pencil to make a feather. The combination of many thin line make the feather look soft. The line at the middle of the feather make it look symmetry.  

Learning Outcome

= All the thing around us we can use as a mark making.

= Difference material can produce the difference outcome some time it will look nice

Task 1 : Create A Movie Poster

This task wants me to pick one movie and make a new poster for the movie so I pick the snow white and the seven dwarfs’ movie.

This story is about a beautiful girl, Snow White, takes refuge in the forest in the house of seven dwarfs to hide from her stepmother, the wicked Queen. The Queen is jealous because she wants to be known as "the fairest in the land," and Snow White's beauty surpasses her own. The dwarfs grow to love their unexpected visitor, who cleans their house and cooks their meals. But one day while the dwarfs are at their diamond mine, the Queen arrives at the cottage disguised as an old peddler woman and persuades Snow White to bite into a poisoned apple. The dwarfs, warned by the forest animals, rush home to chase the witch away, but they are too late to save Snow White from the poisoned apple. They place her in a glass coffin in the woods and mourn for her. The Prince, who has fallen in love with Snow White, happens by and awakens her from the wicked Queen's deathlike spell with "love's first kiss." 

I think to use the apple as the main object for the movie because the apple is the cause snow white fall sleep and this is the important thing in the story. The apple also represent as a weapon to kill the snow white.

This is my first poster:

From this poster it look like too simple and does not have any story from the poster so I put some smoke to make it look like poisonous. Then I notice that the taglines are not suitable with the image of apple so I need to find a new tagline.

When everything finish I print the poster and it look like something are lack. So I do it again I find what is the important thing in the story and try to summary all in one poster. I decide to make a new poster with the image of apple and the snow.

I choose snow because the snows white are born in the snow and the apples are the cause of snow white fall sleep. I also change the tagline. At first I want to make it in black and white, but it look like the image of the apple not clearer and the name of the actor are too big and the position are not suitable. Finally I decide to rearrange it back and this is the final poster of the snow white.

Learning outcome

Before do something we need to plan everything and the draft is the important thing that we need to do. When we have the draft and we have plan the work will be easier.

Task 1 : Think Hard

Create a set of alphabets on an A2 size piece of paper or card without using any mark making.

 I need to choose a word that will represent myself so I choose the word ‘VERSATILE’. Versatile mean have a many difference skill. I use the origami technic to form alphabets. I have to identify which part that I must fold and which part that I must cut also which part that I must keep to make it look like an alphabets.

After I get the structure of the alphabet I start using color to make the word look clearer and this is my first experiment.

 From this experiment I notice that the color was dull and cannot see the word that I make. So I make a new one this time I use the white background and I color the word with difference color to make it look more attractive. Other than that I use difference color because it suitable with the word ‘VERSATILE’.

After I finish everything I notice that the backgrounds are messy so I decide to make some mark making to cover the messy. I use the technic spatter on the wet paper. At first it looks nice but maybe I put to many water and then the color mix and it became like this:

I use the origami video in you tube as my reference for making this alphabets.

Learning outcomes

From here I learn design cannot be expected because some time when the incident happen in design it will give you an expected result and it will give a better result.
