Project 2 - Sense of Place

For this project, within students given space and surroundings had to be observed and recorded in photographs or sketches and translate them into a design work that reflects the interpretation of a place showing multiple aspects of the place.

ATTEMPTS

Attempt 01

For the first attempt, the idea was multiple dimensions within one scenery. The different dimensions are opened through a door, the dimensions could be a place somewhere magical or could be a same place but in different seasons ( different timeline). My family moved very often in Malaysia and was exposed to different environment which was always fun and interesting for me, and the concept of different environment in one space was the concept of the artwork.

Sketch

The sketch layout did not contain the visual I was looking for and the meaning within the artwork was not carried out successfully.

Attempt 02

The concept of the second attempt was the idea of the new norm. How would it be if people could breath in water and how the new normal lifestyle would be. The normal things people do casually, could look very different yet familiar and that concept would be interesting to be worked with.

Sketch

The most normal and casual life scenery chosen was shopping for grocery. The photo taken  from the convenient store was used as the reference and it is infused with marine life.

Project 2 Conclusion

Reflection

Not many ideas came up for this project which ended up with two sketches, normally at least 3 sketches were made. lots of thoughts were made for the colors for the final outcome. initially a very bright environment as morning daylight was set but changed to a dark environment light up by the jelly fish but then the final outcome had ended up with little bit of both. It was always mesmerizing to observe the marine life and how close but far away that environment is. It was fun to work with combining marine life with modern life.

Feedback

The first sketch did not seem to work and it was better to carry on with the second sketch. It was suggested to add more sea elements for the second sketch.

Final Feedback

I can see that the way you documented everyday scenes (Fig 1 - 4) is in photographic angles. i really like the traditional rooftop of your grandparents house. Your idea of different worlds co existing is drawn from your experience in a different culture- truly a personal interpretation for this project. The final design expresses that concept well, along with the interplay of design principles such as harmony and movement.
