Today was the first day of class. We combined both 3DDA classes and had a project brief on what was going to happen throughout our foundation year. At first, I found it overwhelming after knowing that we have so much to do within the year. I knew it wasn’t an easy course, which made me realize being consistent and working hard on my projects is essential. After briefed about what to do, I was more settled and had a much clearer understanding of what is going to happen throughout the year. We were then asked to brainstorm ideas about a topic. The topic that was given was the “shoe". We discussed it as a class then put into groups of three to discuss further within the topic. We had to come up with ideas on the spot which had me reacting fast to brainstorming. It was quite intimidating at first but then I slowly adapted to it much easier. In our small group discussion, we had to tell a story behind the shoe that we had on, then nominate a spokesperson to present it to the class. Our small discussion group was then given three words to discuss. The three words that were given to us were Masochism, Knot, and Ink. Masochism was a word that I wasn’t familiar with. Initially, I thought it was an art movement but then I later found out I was wrong after doing research. I found out that it meant getting pleasure and enjoyment from mental or physical pain. We were then told to brainstorm then think of ten ideas that are related to the three keywords assigned to us. At first, I related the terminology with synonyms, then further generating ideas that were related to it. I also did some small sketches to support and visualize the ideas that came to mind. The small sketches did help me with my thought process when I was stuck with generating new ideas. To sum up today, I thought it was an amazing experience and I did meet new people, learn new vocabulary and learnt a different approach to generating ideas.
