3D Model Research + Hypothesis Research!

Aim: Begin creative research.

Objectives for the day:
*Complete the student quiz.
*Set your self a target for Blender and achieve your target.
*Confirm your knowledge and requirements for A2T2.

*Produce evidence to support your creative process.

Today has been a long but progressive day. We began with the student quiz that Alex W made last week, which was about Blender as a 3D modelling software. I learnt that the Monkey primitive's name is called Suzanne.

We then had a short period of time where we set ourselves another Blender target. This time, I wanted to re-create a better model of the head than the last one I had made. I also wanted to sculpt it further to have distinctive features in order to practice for my future model. The first half was true as I was able to make a head much better than anticipated, this was a strength. A weakness was not being able to complete the target fully so my improvement is to practice it at home in my own time.

To confirm our knowledge and requirements for this assignment, as a class we discussed the criteria. Furthermore, Adam also gave us small activities where we had to give an outline, detail and explanation of growth mindset to get us thinking. As this linked with the previous unit quite well, our group was informed. I also worked with Chris M to write down the advantages and disadvantages as well as why we should use a research method: mind map.

For the last hour with Adam, I worked on my mind map and sketches. For my outstanding work, I have to label the sketches and complete a mood board, write it all up and submit by tomorrow! As well as my portfolio and some other university matters. My inspiration has been tutorials and images on the Internet as it helped me come up with new ideas I never thought I'd have.


Aims and Objectives for Maths with Emily:
To recall different types of data and identify uses.
To have designed a structure for a research plan/proposal.
To have started to write your research plan.
Analyses different ways of collecting data.
To work in a group effectively to design effective method of collecting data.​

For the last half of the day, we began U23_A4T1 officially. Firstly, we recalled the different types of data and identify issues, so we all know the different ways of obtaining data. We also structured our research plan/proposal and this was quite difficult as it was vague to begin with, but after asking Emily and looking at some examples I became aware of what I need to do in further detail. We were also put into groups to create plans of gathering data. For me, I worked with Tom S and Alex W to create an interview. It was difficult to come up with questions for my hypothesis because it was vague, however I twisted my objective and therefore created very good qualitative open-ended questions. Today has been successful and my goals are to re-type some parts of my proposal, finish up with the questions and discuss with the group.
