Brief 1: Contexts.

 

Bodies project

Cigarette Isle project

 

Greyshott Square project

During this first section of our Focus II module I went on an organised visit with the Landscape architecture department to Kew Gardens in London.  The main reason was to hear a talk given by David Barnes, Manager of Horticulture support at Kew to learn about the management processes employed to deal with organic waste.  The opportunity also allowed us time to explore the park, its unique setting, collections of plants and attractions such as the newly installed Treetop walk.  It was a fantastic day and documented in my blog under the following titles and categories:

 

 

 1. Images of Kew – category Landscapes, Gardens.

2. Kew gardens – category Landscapes, Gardens.

3. Images of Kew gardens compost heap – category Sustainability.

4. Organic waste management at Kew Gardens – category Sustainability.

5. Kew: Art on Demand – category Visits and field trips.

Primer: Eat In and Relationships Module

 

 

 

 Within this week I took inspiration from the Focus brief of integrating digital media with previous projects completed in the first year to make them available on my blog for viewing and collate them in a form which could be accepted by our online portfolio, to be constructed later in the year as done by past students.  The first year projects I selected were:

 1. Primer: Eat in & Relationship Module, Level 1.

2. Bodies Module.

3. Cigarette Isle.

4. Greyshott Square.

 Originally these projects were presented on paper.  With the aid of a blank wall, a tripod and a digital camera, I took images of the individual sheets before downloading them onto my computer.  Using photoshop I was then able to make subtle manipulations of the images in preparation for recreating digital presentations through Mac Keynote.

It is hoped by providing these projects along with work from the second and third year, that it may give employers an idea of my progression of learning and communicating ideas.
