LECTURE

We will not have a lecture this week. I am beginning to develop my idea for project 4, which is due in Week 14!

TUTORIAL

Mr. Fauzi briefed us on Project 4: Self-Titled. He explained the instructions in detail and guided us on what needed to be completed each week. He also provided a sample as a reference. The main purpose of the self-titled project is to help us build self-confidence and discover our personal interests.

He also assigned two classwork tasks in Google Classroom: Project 3 (E-portfolio) and Project 4 (Self-Titled). We may upload Project 3 at any time since the e-portfolio is updated weekly, while for Project 4, we must complete and submit the parts assigned for each specific week.

PROJECT 4: SELF-TITLED

1. Idea Development 

This week, we were asked to write a biography about ourselves and to prepare a statement about our work.

  • Biography about myself

Intro: My name is Phang Qi Yu (Clover), and I was born and raised in Malaysia. I'm an outdoor person who loves freedom and absolutely enjoys the summer! This was my first semester of university, and during the first few weeks, my mind felt overwhelmed. I was often confused and unsure about the instructions, and sometimes I didn't even know where to begin.

Paragraph #1: What is your passion?

 I enjoy playing volleyball and sitting by the seaside, listening to the waves and feeling the breeze. I love taking my dog for walks and capturing every precious moment with my camera or film camera.

Paragraph #2: What's motivates you to achieve your dream?

 My passions and my parents are what motivate me. I want to live a life where I can truly be myself, follow the path I want, and stay positive through everything. I believe in working hard but also playing hard to achieve my dream, and in always staying grateful for who I am and what I have.

Summary: How do you want to visualize your dream into an artwork?

I want to create something inspired by photo booth machines, combined with vintage-style elements, because I love taking photo booth pictures with my friends. Through this project, I hope to express the things I love by bringing them to life in the form of vintage-styled photo strips. Bringing to life the things that make me who I am.

  • Statement about my work
Intro: I want to create photo strips that look like they came out of a vintage photo booth. I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I've gotten so much inspiration for the idea. I really want to try it and express my thoughts and passions through it. 

Paragraph #1: What is the concept behind it? 

Since I love taking photo booth pictures with my friends and keeping them as memories, I thought, why not use photo strips to share the things I love and the activities that shape who I am today? All the passions that bring out my true self can be captured in these little moments. I want to hold onto the moments that make up my life!

Paragraph #2: What is the message you want people to understand?

I am who I am because of the passions in my heart. The passions in my life have shaped me. Do the things you love so you can become your true self. 


Summary: What is your motto/ quote?

I am because you are.
