Ict and development Sense of Place Assignment

Ict and development Sense of Place Assignment- When thinking of what I wanted to do for my visual communication assignment I had to take into consideration a number of factors, it had to be about a sense of place and it had to be creative. I thought that because I feel more myself and safe when im in my imagination that this would be the perfect discriptions of a sense of place, therefore i decided to create a sketchbook and use photos of places that I use to play to show my imagination. I also decided to include different games that I use to play and who I use to play with. Ideas- To decide on what I would be creating I did alot of brainstorming, this helped me to come up with ideas that I probably wouldn't have if I had not though about it. The following ideas I came up wtih were family, friends, places I use to play, stories I use to make up, things that encouraged my imagination and what it has helped me with in the future. After thinking it through I realised that the best thing for me to create would be either a fairy tale garden for non-ICT or a slideshow of photos for ICT based. To come up with my idea I was inspired by suggestions from my family and friends, I also looked at some artists and how they interpret their views of imagination. In my sketchbook I cut it up into sections and put three titles nans garden, farm and how I came up with my final idea. Development of Ideas- Non-ICT -materials to make my fairy tale garden -ideas on how to create the fairy tale garden ICT Pictures of places my imagination grew Microsoft Powerpoint Old pictures Making my project- To make my project I first had to find a shoebox, I covered my shoebox in wrapping paper and then covered the inside in blue and green paper to create the grass and sky. Then I created the trees using a card board tube and leaves out of tissue paper. Then I created the flowers using pattern punchers and stuck them down. I then made a pond and and took stones from the garden and placed them around my pond to create a 3D effect. Final Piece- I knew that I wanted to focus on the idea of imagination as this is my sense of place, I like how this assignment was focused more on the idea of creativity and was not based around the idea of essay writting. I enjoyed that we were allowed to express ourselves through creativity and the use of art. Im glad that I choose a Non Ict method because I am good with arts and craft and not so good when it comes to ICT however I think it would have been nice to have shown my ideas through the use of ICT.
