Discover

When I was creating my mind map it was easy to do even though the brainstorming was a bit difficult at first but I got to get all of these new ideas and expand. There are a lot of things that drives my curiosity however, 3 of the many things listed I chose animals, nature, and water. But an specific animal I chose was a giraffe because they are tall creatures with tall necks that are unique because of their height. There is so much about nature itself that you can just find surrounding you, like the trees. There are certain things that can adapt to a different economy and still grow without a problem. Water is my last curiosity because as we all know it can be made into a solid shape or even to a gas, and probably left to remain as just a liquid form.

Define

When it came to having to draw thumbnails, it was a hard choice on which 3 to work on or I’ll have other thoughts that I’ll prefer to do or choice a different idea that was in my mind map.

 

Develop

It was a lot easier to fill in the thumbnails after all the ruler measures and recheck on the inches of the boxes and even the space between them.

Overall I liked what we did on this project. Even though at first I was struggling it got easier to do after knowing I was in my final draft and I was soon to be done. However, I think if we filled with ink it would of been alot more presentable.

Discover This is my curiosity map , shows my interests and what I’m curious about them.For example with my dreams and what they can lead to.

DEFINEthese are my first sketches done , on the it’s more simple and then zoomed in on the bottom.

DELIVER

REFLECT

This is my final , well inked and the clouds describe my curiosity about dreams and what further meaning lies in them , the second is a broken window edge and that is for curiosity of abandonded places to discover , and lastly the tree which is the curiosity of nature and how it works in mysterious ways.

 

Thinking map for the main objects like tiger, space, and plane. This format really helped improve the idea of making and made it easier to come to a decision.

My first draft was not at all the same compared to my original idea and to the conclusion of this project I made with the same objects but with a different format.

My Final draft was what I imagined it to be with all my objects of curiosity. This final draft had more of my inspiration because of the details I wanted to incorporate. 

This is my mind map. It consists of different things I was curious about at the time. I allowed myself to jot down whatever was on my mind and expand them a little.

I know my sketches are more on the rougher side, but that’s what I prefer. It helps me decide what I want to change when it comes to the final product. As for some of them not being on the mind map, I think they would be much more interesting to illustrate.

Last, but not least, my final product. I love to travel, having been to three countries outside of the United States. However, I would love to travel to even more countries and see what they’re like in person. Learning different languages will allow me to get to know about other cultures and traditions.

The water bearer represents my sign, and I wonder who came up with the concept of zodiac signs and astrology.

The devil with the pitchfork comes from my thoughts on hell. What does it look like? Does the devil really live there?

The two faces with music represents my curiosity of how music alters your mood. Music can bring you happiness, but it can also do the opposite. How?

Lastly, I wanted to know if love at first sight is real or not. I want to know if it’s possible in real life, not just in movies.

 

While doing this project, I learned how difficult it is to be extremely precise with your work, especially while doing the boxes. It’s something that requires a lot of time and practice. However, I think I did a pretty good job for a first try so I can’t complain.
