Following on from yesterday's lecture, we was working all day on our Power of Ten maps. We had to create these mini concertinas based on a memory. Then display them in 4 images, in a style of a map. The first image will be a close up and the idea is to zoom out of the memory and end up with a map on the last image. Compared to the previous drawing task, I feel like it's been a good eye opener and I did a better job in this task drawing even though it was a challenge trying to mostly draw from birds-eye view. Here are my drawings:
This is my first memory. I've chosen to draw the moment I had a blood test in the hospital. I started off in the doctors room and I ended up with a wider map. The drawings is pretty simple and I just wanted to ensure the narrative was clear enough but after asking my peers, they seem to understood it.
Here's my second memory. This memory was of me when I moved to West Yorkshire and I remember travelling to Leeds to get to know my surroundings. So I thought I'll illustrate me taking an image and I focused on the smaller details with the drawings. This was visually in my head near the Trinity shopping centre.
Lastly, this is my final memory of a BBQ that I had with my family. I started off extremely close up and ended up with a wide angle of all the surrounding gardens. I was pleased with my sketches in this memory. I tried to keep the focal point consistent in all my frames so I think this has worked well because it zooms in and out from the barbecue. Here are some additional images from the day:
After drawing our maps, we got into groups of 5 and discussed our memories. We then created a scroll map and linked some of memories together to create one memory interlinked. We started this bigger map with some wriggly lines that go along the middle to connote that these memories has it's ups and downs. We then all drawn circles and decided to draw our individual memories in the circle to make up this linear narrative. In the end, I was pretty happy with the results and I enjoyed working in a group and combining our individual thoughts and ideas together.
