Progress
Project 2 investigates the application of basic elements and principles of design by prominent artists, designers, and architects in their masterpieces through the expression of materials, techniques, design ideas, and concept – looking into the DNA of the works.
Selection of 2 Individuals​
​
We selected an artist and an architect to supply ourselves with a large range of information. Both art styles differed, and we took it as a challenge to integrate them in study models.
Research and analyzation​
​
I was assigned to research on Rene Margritte and his works. His works were very interesting, in a way that raises questions as to whether Rene is hiding things behind the ordinary elements

Integration, definition, and identification​
​
We analyzed both individuals as a team, integrated them and created the narrative for our study models. Rene loved questioning the ugly hidden truth, while Antoni loved nature. We decided to elaborate on the ugly truth of humans on climate change.

Study model - First ideation​
​
A rough study model was made to express the narrative. However, only parts of the idea was taken onto the second draft due to the frequent use of literal meanings.

Study Model​
​
I finalized and made my study model while adhering to the team narrative and theme. It was more than just design elements, it was also story telling and narrative representation using colors and the play of layers.

Reflection
Lifelong Learning
I learned to be independent yet a team-workers. I also became capable of locating, extracting, synthesising and utilising information effectively mockups and progressed accordingly yo final models. I've learned also to be intellectually engaged whenever feedbacks were given by my tutor
Discipline Specific Knowledge
I've learned to read up on design principles and ensure i understand how to apply them to my assignment
Global Perspectives
I was able to understand the value and power of design principles; it is everywhere, just unnoticed. I have also realized how powerful design principles are in controlling which emotions are to be conveyed in an art piece
Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills
I learned to think critically and creatively when combining design principles. I had to consider the integration and overall cohesiveness of the final model as well, despite all the models being done separately
Communication Skills
I've learned to communicate with my group members through texts and meetings. With this, we were able to work along each other well and finish the project with everyone feeling a part of the team.
Intrapersonal Skills
I've become capable of reflecting on my progress as a team member. I felt that I did my best, just like everyone else. Thinking back, I was self-reliant and carried my own weight as a team member. I also made my best effort to lead my team into being as efficient and inclusive as possible
Interpersonal Skills
I've learned to input my opinions in meetings and let the whole team be always informed, so everyone would share their thoughts and opinions in return. Our team members also communicated effectively and did their tasks mindfully so no team member had to rush theirs.
