Steps and Map – Treasure Hunt – Project One (2130)

Instruction:

Gain progress towards the final project submission.

Purpose:

Explore your treasure hunt instructions and the treasure itself. Write down important notes.

My Interpretation:

I wrote down my steps so I could keep them on hand easier, and I scribbled down some thoughts as I passed by each step. After I Found my treasure (Connecting Grounds Café), I decided to crate a small map to visualize where I went and the important/mentioned landmarks mentioned in the instructions. The green path is the ending, correct path, the dotted red path is the incorrect paths I took, and the blue are the important locations.

Exercise – Encasement

 

Instruction:

Encase the given shapes within a polygon.

 

Purpose:

Explore the fundamentality of everything and how complex objects can be broken down into simpler and simpler shapes.

 

My Interpretation: 

All the shapes could devolve into a simple shape. It is easier and more effective to view drawing things as their fundamental shapes before their finer details.

Exercise – Making Something out of Nothing

 

Instruction:

Scribble on a page without looking at it. Emphasize shapes you recognize.

 

Purpose:

get into the head space of a design student, see things for what they can be and what they are. Look beyond the surface.

 

My Interpretation: 

Within my scribble I noticed four distinct shapes. Firstly, on the left page there is a single comet descending downwards. In the top right is a ghost-like figure accelerating off the page, upwards nd to the right. In the middle of the right page I highlighted a mother cradling her child. Finally, on the lower right is a large-nosed, large-foreheaded face staring down and to the left.
