We were there early as always thinking that coming late for design would mean heresy in all subjects of FID. But it turns out we were earlier than we expected to be. Yay? The studio was filled with floats and we had to move them. ('we' as in all the girls did it and us boys were like,"Uhm... Should we or should we not move these floats?" True Story)
Ms. Lisa introduced herself as our Principles of Design lecturer/tutor. She begins the lecture with the question that she wants us to answer ourselves,"Who Am I?"
Basically, the first class is about self-discovery. Asking ourselves what motivates us, what do we like, what grinds our gears, and etcetera. And no design class is complete without it's very own
self-discovery assignment (Bolded for S#!ts and Giggles).
We had to draw out a mind map and a self-portrait, and present it to the whole class. This is actually awesome because we get to discover ourselves and also know a little bit about our classmates. Clearing out all the small talk like, "What's your favourite colour you like the smell of?"(true story, happened to a friend of mine) and avoids the need to introduce yourself later on.
Everyone's presentation went smoothly, we laughed, we sympathized, and we cried (there were no cries actually, I just wanted a third adjective to better portray the sentence).
After that's out of the way we were given our first assignment. Dun Dun Dun.........................................
We were to find an art movement and make a self-portrait. I don't want to go into all the details which means I have to write more but we are allowed a lot of creative freedom in this assignment.
What materials do we use, canvas, painting or sculpture, and etcetera. Extensive research has to be done and our progress should reported and updated via an academic blog (which is this blog but judging from my style of writing, it doesn't seem to be very academic indeed). The next update of this assignment will be up later.
