●Lecture


- Culture & Us by Dr. Jinchi (10, Jan)

This time, we learned about what culture is and how to relate between it and art. First of all, we were shown some examples of narcissistic art and taught what it is. It's really interesting subject for me, so I tried to search it myself. I just supposed that it's really need to express own art things with this knowledge. Without narcissistic idea, we can't improve own art with own identity. Therefore we should know ourselves and love ourselves, then create some is better than anything, I guess.

About how narcissistic make better artist, Study Says, Surprising No One

Also, we learned about the cultural iceberg which is the culture between visible and unseen, deep culture. It's really important knowledge of art as well. We need to focus on it, then use it to do art as well.

Hence I could learn about culture of art a lot. With these knowledge, we can make really good things than we have nothing.

●Tasks

- Continuous Assessment – Task 1 (Proposal)

Our group(group20) selected a topic for task, about video game. I just don't know enough though, I could enjoyed researching about it. Almost all of them was things I never heard but I could learn it more and more as well. 

For this time, task 1, we search about the cultural awareness of video game. I did the part of it with about mythical beings such as yokai, gods and so on. I tried to know it more deeply and describe with own knowledge and new things I learned. I could say that we can learn about it with playing video game. It's so cool to learn through enjoying playing games I guess. I just noticed it this time.

- Continuous Assessment – Task 2 (Field Study)

For this task, we focused on about the topic with some Q&A from interview and so on. Actually, I did interview with my friend who know about video game, mythical beings enough. I search the some article as well. I mean that I could collect data of it a lot.

- Final Assessment – Research & Reflect : Final Project

For final task, we're needed to create some with things we've learned so far. After we discussed how to express, we decided to create graphic poster with scroll things. So first week of this task, we tried to bring idea for graphic poster.


Figure 4.1 idea for final graphic poster with Miro


So I tried to express that we can do anything you want through playing video games. It means that we can have experience that being any character and knowing a lot new things from game. That is why I drawn it with only one woman.

 I have search some example to decide the color palette to make it with unity in Pinterest, this time. I just wanted to express neon mood and a little of modern mood that is why I selected this color palette.

I have annoyed about the stroke, so I ask them to figure out. Then I decided to do it with some highlight part.

And then finally, I could finish this character part with their idea. It took a lot of time to have it done perfect, but it was really fun. I really appreciated them for supporting me as well. I could had great experience.

●Feedbacks

Week 1-3 (Introduction to the Module / Culture & Purpose / Proposal Presentation)

Experience:
 Actually, I have join this module in little bit later that is why I just needed to catch up with lecture and group work this week. For this week, I have watch the lecture for learning about culture by Dr. Jinchi and figure out what are group working. Then I learned about video games after I understand what we have to do in group. Especially, I focused on mythical beings as well. 

Observations:
 For learning the mythical beings, I could realized the relationship between it and video game. All of fantasy game has basic with some history. Those are created by a lot of information which is inspired by some myth that is why the game has deep details and fun. 

Findings:
 I just noticed that we can learn myth and history through playing video game and its really important for us to study with fun. Also it's really important for us to create some design with a lot of details which we have to know more and more.

Week 4-6 (Field Study / Data Collection Presentation / Project Progression and consultation)

Experience:
 For this task, data collection, I collect a lot of knowledge of mythical beings with video game from internet, friends and so on. Through doing research I could learn how to collect the information correctly and clearly such as interview and some article. 

Observations:
 I realized again that it's really hard to do tasks with group member because there are a lot idea and opinion, then we need to collect, focus and decide as well. So for this, we need to effort to understand and respect with each other. Through group work, I could learn how hard it is. Also the importance of speaking in English.

Findings:
 I got knowledge of video game after I search and collect data. I would like to play game after this semester.

Week 7-8 (Final Project Presentation)

Experience:
 We have learned about video games deeply so far, and then we had to create some design from this experience. For us, we decided to create the scroll graphic poster because it can express the history of game clearly. So first week of final project, we focused on what we should put on the poster such as character and scene. We collect idea for the poster as well.

Observations:
 I could learn "emphasis" and "unity" with designing poster. There are a lot of information, so it's difficult for me to recognize what character should be focused on. That is why I could know how to emphasis in poster to express it for people who see. Also, I noticed the importance of unity to create it clearly.

Findings:
  I just learned how importance of communication and respect through this group work.

Further readings/references:
 I have used "Pinterest" to get inspired for creating the poster. There are a lot of design, examples. I used it to decide the color palette for graphic poster this time.
