Shapes in Things
In an exercise that sensitively exposes students to be aware of image making opportunities around them, Esther Tan explores with her camera and in doing so, learns how to see notice things, take pictures, crop images and present them for her composition to show her ideas from A-Z.
Shapes in Things
Towards the end of the semester, every student is to "package" all their exercises into a journal-like process notebook where they can document their observations, steps, and sometimes their thoughts.
From left, clockwise, Allan's whose passion in photography led him to the idea of presenting his exercises in film strips, Samuel Woo's who went a step forward to document his work in X-rays and reporting of his process notebook in ways that mimic a hospital report to finally Lim Cai Ling's more straight-forward neat presentation. All notebook must be neatly presented, bound for a sense of order and yet different enough to reflect the students' individual characters.
Hand Lettering
In their foundational studies, it is important to expose my students to as many hands-on experimentation as possible as doing so can get them to explore different ways to present and communicate their ideas. What I didn't expect was that towards the end when students need to present their ideas, they became experimental, even in the presentation format which in this case sees Samuel Woo presenting his hand lettering exercise as a board game.
Hand Lettering
Lim Cai Ling in her hand lettering exercise, experimented with the word "death" and the choice of the word is not random as they have to first explore their sense of self from a list of questions developed to get them to figure out who they really think they are.
