Project 1 process
My ideas for the concept map are computing, human mind and also art + design. I had a difficult time choosing between the three, but at the end, i decided to do "art + design, imagination as resources". I will focus on the process of collecting and expanding ideas for art and design through experience, knowledge, culture and taste.

Art is an experiential education that joins practice to theory and studio production to interdisciplinary inquiry. It is important to have an innovative and stimulating environment to develop ideas and artworks as ethical and responsive participants in a culture of varying needs and opportunities. Design is about the desire of knowledge and skills for real innovation. It involves critical thinking about human and environmental needs. The formation of ideas are express through verbal and visual language.

Research from the text "practices of looking- Aesthetic and taste" [|Photo-0068.jpg]

Visual approach

-> i wanted to do my concept map on a paint palette to match my theme, however i need to explore into that.

Project 1 rationale: The medium I chose for this project is “Art and Design”. This medium is something that I contact with everyday, which is the reason why I chose this medium. Art and design are disciplines that involve many subjects and branches off into different ideas and concepts as well. Therefore I decided to focus on the process of art and design, and the concepts differences between designers and artists.

There are two layers in the concept map; first layer is the outer part of the green circle, and the second layer is the inner part of the circle. The first layer focused on the similarities of art and design and the main process these disciplines go through. The second layer stated the differences between artist and designer, and the ideas that lead to their outcome. I used color coding in this concept map, the green line represent the similarity between art and design, and it also show the ideas branch off from the three main part of art and design process: information, skills and creativity. For the inner layer, I used blue to show the differences between art and design. The whole layer is a cycle, which relate in one way or other. In order to show the three main parts of art and design process is connected to the second layer, I arrange the three parts on the RGB colors. This idea is to relate back to the theme, and show a better connection the two layers. Lastly, the background is to create a soft-tone for the concept map, because my intention is to create a soft, elegant and simple tone for the map.
