IN THIS ASSIGNMENT, I WAS GIVEN 9 PROMPTS TO CHOOSE FROM AND THE PROMPTS THAT I CHOSE WERE SOMETHING BLACK, SOMETHING ECCENTRIC AND SOMETHING BRIGHT.

I WAS EXPECTED TO CREATE AN ARTWORK INVOLVING THESE 3 PROMPTS.

ASSIGNMENT 1

SOMETHING I AM

EMPATHY & DEFINE

SOMETHING BLACK & SOMETHING BRIGHT

-I CHOSE THESE 2 PROMPTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE OPPOSITE CHARACTERISTICS TO EACH OTHER

-I DECIDED TO CHALLENGE MYSELF BY MIXING UP THESE 2 PROMPTS

SOMETHING ECCENTRIC

-I CHOSE THIS PROMPT BECAUSE WHEN THE WORD "ECCENTRIC" COMES TO MIND I BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT SOME FAMOUS ARTISTS, SCIENTISTS AND MUSICIANS WHICH HAVE AN ECCENTRIC LIFESTYLE OR BEHAVIOUR

empathy

​

DEFINE

AFTER MIXING THESE 3 PROMPTS TOGETHER,

I DIRECTLY THOUGHT ABOUT

"THE GREATEST ARTIST WHO EVER LIVED" VINCENT VAN GOGH.

I STARTED THINKING ABOUT HIS TRAGIC LIFE STORY AND TRIED TO PUT MYSELF IN HIS SHOES SO I COULD RELATE MY PROMPTS TO HIM.

IDEATION & PROTOTYPE

IDEATION

I TRIED DEPICTING VAN GOGH'S WHOLE LIFE IN 1 PICTURE.

DIFFERENT STYLES WERE TRIED OUT FOR THIS PURPOSE. 

PROTOTYPE

I COULDN'T CHOOSE BETWEEN MY 3 IDEATIONS SO

I DECIDED TO MIX THEM UP INTO MY PROTOTYPE.

I KEPT ON TRYING TO IMPROVE MY IDEA TO THE BEST ONE POSSIBLE BY 

ADDING NEW ELEMENTS INTO THE MIX.

INTRAPERSONAL SKILL

I've gained more awareness of the things around me after completing this assignment. Before this, I always had a singular perspective on things but once I was done with this assignment, I found myself having different views on everyday objects.

THINKING & PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS

This TGC really resonates with me for this assignment, especially for my define. I've been having problems understanding this part of the assignment. But luckily, I had some guidance from my lecturer and a few of my friends. After that whole fiasco, I've never had any problems with my define of other assignments.

DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE 

I've learned a lot during the lectures including ways to organize our ideas on paper using drawing and mind maps. It has really helped me a lot in my assignment especially in empathy, define and ideation. I feel like the lectures have totally changed our mindset and perspective.
