Here are some of the anisial images from the project in which I reasured the Idea of Barriers.
One of my favorate and strongest images was that of which I created my enterpritation of an emosional barrier....
Others just were strong because the strong link to the project title. The images instantly showed the theme. Also the use of a good camera helped!
After a while I began to get a consistansy of the type of angles i was created which showed a repetative theme which for potential projects could be used as some sort of measuring line.
After this resurch developed and themes clearly surfaced for me, we were put in new groups to combine our themes and create a new clear body of resurch. The idea of mapping came up a lot so we first thought of mapping using odd and different objects or places.
My odd and "createive" mind led me to just go all out and put objects in different surroundings like a banana in a microwave.........WHICH COME TO THINK OF IT I NEVER TOOK OUT!
Once moving into our new groups and finding an idea to combine our bodies of resurch and work, we then had to think of an appropriate theme or idea to complete the project of finding a problem and sucessfully resolving it useing our ansioal ideas.
After a problem that came instantly that day in which our class was getting in trouble for not coming in on time, or not even at all, we decided to look into how this theme could develop. It turned out to be very full of potential resurch in which we were able to borrow the lists and registars and highlight were the problems were. As we had such a clear problem title of "how do we tempt the class into coming in on time?, we straight away began creating tallys and charts and questionaires about why people in out class are late and what are their reasons for it. It then progressed to "what could we give you to motivate you" and also bought in a more negative aspect of "how could we embaras you if your late" Ideas of publicly humiliating certain latecomers was an idea but then came the problem of what about if they don't actually care?
Problems that came up were mainly how to show the resurch side of it. We knew we wanted to create some sort of advertisement to get the class come in earlyer..... so we then created a simple survey asking what would do that. Bringing in food seemed to be a popular solution so we went with it and kindly out of our own back pocket we dicided to create a breakfast for people in before a certain time and tally who and when it was to further prove our results. The whole project was well planned out and we actually managed to suceed in what resurch we wanted to use and for the right reasons. More than anything I actually found this project really fun and enjoyed working in a group again. The free breakfast helped too, even though we did arrive at 8.30 to uni just to organise it all!
Heres an image I took of the first person to get to the classroom, running through the door. It was a very heroic moment and Dave was thriller to have won...... especialy after he got his winner hat! Below is a picture of some of the first to arrive who were all numbered one two eleven. Although they were happy with the free breakfast and also happy they were in before 9.20, I felt there was still tension they didnt have winning hats.
Here are some photographic evidence of the final product, the poster in the appropriate environment and to the target audience (students at lcad) that it was meant to.
With a wide range of documents supporting our themes and general belief that having breakfast at uni as an insentive will help people to come in on time, our problem and solution thoughroughly worked. Everyone in the class appresiated what did and becasue of the foor were mayb more possitive and energetic throughout the day. In my opinion TOTAL SUCESS!
