U1.4.2 METHODS OF ITERATION
Based on the copying of the selected art works in the rst week, I have a preliminary understanding of the material characteristics of Acrylic Gouache. This medium is often used to express organic (natural sense) themes such as landscapes and plants in artistic creation. Its balance of coverage and transparency provides the possibility of delicate…

U1.4.1 METHODS OF ITERATION
In the 1st week, I chose Acrylic Gouache, a medium I had never worked with before, as my tool for exploration. This material is both unfamiliar and full of possibilities for me.

Through my observations, I discovered that the swings are not limited to their conventional use as recreational equipment.…

U1.1.2 1 FURTHER DEVELOPED INVESTIGATION
In my second week of research, I focused on how people interact with the swings. I observed the behavior of individuals from different age groups and examined their intentions when using the swings. Due to the varying sizes of the swings, the target users naturally differed; however, when individuals outside the intended demographic used the…

U1.1.1 3-4 METHODS OF INVESTIGATING
Week 1 Exploration and Site Selection In the first week of this unit, I experimented with four observation methods to explore my chosen site. While wandering near my home, I discovered a playground within Bingfield Park. To narrow the focus of my observation, I decided to concentrate on the swings within this playground. The swing…
