My Avatar is a sunset that I took a picture of. Sunsets are very beautiful to look at and set a nice mellow vibe; at times when viewing a sunset it helps me clear my mind off things. I chose the sunset because I’m a calm Read More...

My mind map consists of areas that interest me, places I’ve visited, and words that help to further describe and expand on these topics.

These were the first items to pop into my head when I thought about my three main areas. The first is a snow globe to represent exploration/travel, the second is a pair of gold bangles that I’ve had since I was a baby to represent fashion, and the third is a paintbrush to represent design (creativity, art, self-expression, etc.)

Curious Artifacts

Discover:

When I was making my mind map, I thought of all the things that I love and enjoy doing, whether it was physical or not. 

Define:

I took three objects I had came up with which was my headphones, my speakers, and my keyboard. I proceeded to sketch them out in both stable and ambiguous.

Develop:

Reflection:

Throughout the whole process of this project, I learned to draw with creativity and how random idea that comes up in my mind can be shown on a piece of art. I also had some really good constructive criticism from my fellow Read More...

These are all the words that popped into my head when I heard the word Curiosity. From the keywords in the boxes, more words began to branch out and I connected them to other words within the Mind Map.

The Sketches on the left side represents my bonds with friends, it is supposed to be an alpaca toy that one of my friends gave to me for Christmas. The Middle Sketches represents my creativity which I portrayed with a rock that I found and decided to crave into to create something new. The Right Sketches represents how music … Read More...

(By:Elijah Castra) 

Discover: This is where it all started. When tasked with this I created the mind map, as did everyone else, started with the word “curiosity” and seen where that led me to. Ultimately after doing so the 3 main things that
stood out to me were the brain/ the mind, money and clothing (there were more but I picked these 3. And I then went on to make thumbnail sketches.


Define: Now moving on to the thumbnail sketches. These sketches were a little bit difficult to come up with because originally I just made random things. But I … Read More...

Curious Artifacts

This is my mind map. These are most of the things that I’m curious about. I wrote down what made me curious and then I went from there.

These are my first sketches. The first one represents technology. It is a Venn diagram and it shows that we have evolved enough in technology to be able to use this diagram. The second one represents people. People drive my curiosity because of the stuff we do everyday and other things. Why do we do the things we want to do and why do we have different eye colors. The last one … Read More...

Creating my mind map was probably the easier part of this project . Brainstorming and gaining ideas of curiosity and how it inspires me .

Getting ideas for my thumbnails was probably the hardest part . Every time I stuck with an idea another would pop up and I would add it .

Putting the pieces together was easier it was just a struggle to maintain my hand steady .

Overall what I learned about this project was thinking how curiosity inspired and going into depth with it . Also getting to know my taste in design . For next … Read More...

final

I one thing i learned about this project is that designing isn’t easy as it looks, there’s a LOT of precise hand movements, and measurements that needs to happen.

I felt like i could’ve drawn more sketches just to see other drawings that i liked, but ultimately ended up choosing these three. On my next project i definitely wont do it last minute, and draw more sketches.

I chose these 3 objects because it reminds me of nature, and nature drives my curiosity. The butterfly because i always wondered how does the body of a caterpillar change into a body … Read More...
