PROJECT 1
LECTURE
28 SEP 2021 ( WEEK 6)
Today I watched the lecturer video given by Ms Jin Chi. While watching it, Ms Jin Chi asked us a question: "Have you ever thought about who I am?"
When the teacher asked me, I started to think about who I was, and there was a lot about me in my mind, that is, I am a person who loves outdoor sports but I also like to be alone. I like to try new things. And see all kinds of things
Everyone defines himself differently. Some people may define themselves by what they own, love, or imitate their favourite character.
SELF PORTRAIT
- A self-representation in the form of a drawing/painting/sculpture/design. It is a visual depiction of the self
- A self-portrait artwork represents the designer/artist- in other words, how he sees himself, what he's feeling, and how he wants to be seen by others. It's not necessarily about creating a realistic image of yourself instead, it's often an exercise in self-exploration.

INSTRUCTION
PROJECT 1 - SELF PORTRAIT
As the name of the project implies, we need to think about our current life experiences, such as our culture, family, friends, previous school days, favourite music, food, etc.
We can choose the visual effects we think are relevant and transform them into design works to create a self-portrait. We can use any material to express our ideas.
Video about me
This video is a project that I did when I was in Foundation. It is a self-promo video that showing who am I. I insert this video here is because it can help me when I doing the project 1 self-portrait.

MY PERSONALITY TEST
The text says I'm a person with extroverted, intuitive, emotional, and judgmental personality traits. These enthusiastic and straightforward types like to help others, and they often have strong ideas and values. They use creative energy to support their views to achieve their goals. I think it’s quite accurate because my family and my friends also say that I’m a very outgoing person and also like to help others.

SKETCH

SELF PORTRAIT SKETCH
I designed myself for a half-face, this design is divided into two moods, the left is optimistic, the right side is negative. Why do I want to design myself for two moods, because I am a very strange person, I am a very cheerful person when I am in the morning, I will become a very negative person at night.

SELF PORTRAIT PROGRESS
After the design myself, I put myself on the clouds, I would have this idea because my name is called SKY, and I also like the cloud, so I put myself on the cloud.
After the design, I started to adjust the distance experiment. When I put the plane 1.7, I felt a bit empty, so I just enlarged myself to fill the surrounding space.

FEEDBACK DR CHARLES
to present a sense of duality, one may need to show a stronger sense of contrast not just the mirror image of oneself but also everything about the personality. I think this may lack that contrast and some elements. Perhaps more thoughts
REFLECTION
When I was doing project 1, I thought for a long time, because I don't know myself, I have been asking what people around me, so I also spent a lot of time design. When I did project 1, I found a lot of information and learned about the design I want to do. When I use AI and PS, I still need to progress space. After using AI and PS, I finally learned a lot of skills, namely AI and PS and creativity.
to present a sense of duality, one may need to show a stronger sense of contrast not just the mirror image of oneself but also everything about the personality. I think this may lack that contrast and some elements. Perhap more thoughts about this. However - the idea is good!
