Lecture #3: Materials & Textures in Nine

Tools and Techniques (Shape, Size, Texture) 

We were asked to create a 27cmx27cm square frame inside using a drawing paper of 29cmx29cm. We divided this 27cmx27cm square into 9 equal parts. In each of the squares, we placed 9 items of different textures that we found at home.

I created a composition paying attention to the density of these textures and the harmony of the colors. Then we passed this composition, which we created by drawing a frame of the same dimensions, on paper. The purpose of us doing this was to be able to feel and understand the textures on the drawing. Thus, we discovered the textures better by looking at their density, color, and height.

Lecture #3: My Letter

Tools and Techniques (Typography, Color Theory)

Letter form

We discovered the first letter of our name using lines of different weights and composition values.

Is/Ought is a concept brought about by David Hume.

In an irrational mood, an individual may mistake what 'is' as something 'ought' to be.

They may not be able to distinguish between what is correct and what they perceive as correct

Train delay scenario

What would you do when the train breaks down and delays are incurred? - perhaps find the exit

Not sure where this is going

Assessment of risk is dependent on an individual's past experience and intuition

Statistically, people cannot accurately estimate events with a low probability occurrence

Decisions are also dependent on whether there is a high impact consequence

Taking the risk, even when the probability is high and no consequence had occurred is just as bad as taking the risk and producing a consequence/ impact during failure

- e.g. not using a seatbelt and avoiding an accident is still illegal

- The media sensationalizes the consequence and the risk is still present but not invisible

- This is the case for the BF Skinner pigeon training experiment. A good outcome is usually generated by luck because risk is always present. Habit is therefore created by successful repetition of an action or decision with no consequence however this does not always quantify the decision as correct or safe

Terrorism

Number of Australians dying overseas due to terrorism is less than 200 – not as drastic as perceived by the media

Governments have taken advantage of this obsession with terror to pass legislation that have more oppressive consequences than the terrorism act itself on a long term regard.

Mitigation of risks

Use a risk matrix/register - these are arbitrary and subjective

Richard Fineman – research him

He was transparent about the risks involved with a launch (NASA) - they launched at low temperatures which raised the risk of failure because the O-ring is brittle at that temperature

Top managers in the hierarchy of a company will have a less severe understanding of risk involved with failure (e.g. 1 in 1000000 chance of failure)

Engineers working with the details (lower in the pyramid) will have a higher understanding of failure (e.g. perhaps 1 in 10)

How to develop a genuine risk register?

Use a lot of people with diverse mindsets

You can ask a third party to help you but as all humans are self-interested, there is still bias involved

Compliance

This is a useful tool for the prevention of unsatisfactory outcomes

Sets the minimum standard for satisfaction but there is no absolute certainty that this standard will correctly apply to all situations

Read about: Sundance Resource Limited – Republic of Congo

Yezhov – head of police for Stalin during the Great Purge

Better that ten innocent people should suffer than one spy get away – what is the significance of this quote

In this lecture, I learned about the types of instructional technologies and the benefits and limitation of using instructional software. As usual, the lecture started off the class by stating the definition of instructional software, the types of instructional systems and products and also the overview of instructional software.

Besides that, we were given a 30 minute task to plan a lesson within our group members. There are several things that needs to be included in the lesson which are a fairly interesting lesson, age group, learning theory and software usage. This lesson needs to be presented after 30 minutes. After a brief discussion, my group and I have come to a consensus with a lesson plan that will be stated below:

Topic: How to preserve the environment

Age group: 10 – 12 years old

Learning theory: Behaviorist theory

Software usage:

Kahoot: A platform used as a quiz. Students with the highest point will earn a prize.

A recycling machine: This machine collects recyclable items. Each students who donated their recyclable items will be rewarded with points that will be registered into the card systems. At the same time, they are also able to learn about some interesting environmental facts when they donate their items.

It was really interesting to watch other groups present some interesting topics such as sex education, self-defense, ways to make Malaysian’s onde-onde and others.

As a future educator, I had learned that there are both benefits and limitations for any instructional software. Therefore, choosing suitable instructional software is really important for the content that will be taught in class.

Fred Hubble was the lecturer and he spoke about climate change and we discussed how it affects our planet and how we are polluting the wildlife and nature. The actions we take we don’t see how it will affect and this can make a huge change in nature and how we live. Climate change has a massive effect on carbon dioxide levels. However, there are campaigns and brands who have worked together to save the ocean from waste plastic. There are brands such as Gstar, Adidas and in order to get their collections popular, they worked with famous artists such as Pharrell Williams. This was part of the clean-up operation.
