Reflection

  In term two of ESOL, we focused on finishing our reading logs and book reports. I wrote my book report about the novel I read The Cemetery Boys which is a novel I would recommend if you like suspense. We also started writing our speeches and my topic is about going against the limits. We mostly focused on our speaking skills and recalling skills which are useful skills to have. 

 I could use these skills I have been learning in the future and in my other classes, especially English and art. 

 I would like to improve on my presenting and speaking skills as those are skills I am afraid of pursuing because I have a terrible fear of speaking in front of a crowd and I hope next term I'll be able to be more comfortable and stutter less so I won't embarrass myself and people won't pity me.

 BRIEF

 NEXA is a video game company that is well known for its high quality visually appealing video games that is inquired me to create concepts and ideas for an upcoming video game that is visually appealing and mysterious that targets a young adult audience. 

 The design brief requires me to create a character design, a world concept and equipment concepts. It is required for me to add certain elements in my designs such as keeping a horror-esc element to the characters I am designing for the atmosphere of the game to be consistent with the genre. The art style of the characters is to be in semi-realism style.

I have been asked for production to include splash art and a character turnaround.

Field Notes

Painting Art 3.2

 

   

Subject: This illustration is what appears to be a humanoid creature with a masculine figure. He has long straight black hair and an earring. The creature is wearing a goat's skull on its head which cover's the subject's face and hides his facial expressions. This helps him appear to be quite mysterious which contrasts with the background which is very pastel and vibrant. 

Narrative: "Personification" of a dream 

ESOL Reflection Blog 20/03/23

In the past term in ESOL, we have been working on our reading log assessments. We are to read 5 texts plus a novel. The novel I am reading is The Cementary Boys which is a horror fiction novel about a boy who moved into a new town called Spencer where his father used to live. He meets this group of boys and a girl called Cara which changes his life.

Also, I learnt a lot of new vocabulary that I haven't heard or seen before in the texts such as the novel I am reading that. Like “Incredulous” which is a word that I have not seen before. It means unwilling or unable to believe in something. I could use this word in my future sentences as it is quite a big word and it could make me sound intelligent.




I would like to be able to learn more words in the future and be able to use them in future texts I will write.

Design - Series and Sequences

 

The designer came up with the mountain design from the roof-like design. Then they had a black dot first and then slowly develops their logo designer then applied it onto the pamphlet or poster once they were satisfied with their design.
