Ship of Theseus thought experiment

 1. What is it?

The ship of Theseus is a philosophical puzzle that asks the question of whether if the Ship of Theseus is still the same after some changes on wood or its components. The question asks if the Ship of Theseus changed its materials for example the wood that it was made by or the oars, is it still the Ship of Theseus.

2. What do you think the answer is?

Scenario 1. 

This is when the Ship of Theseus replaces its part piece by piece over time, is it still the Ship of Theseus?

Scenario 2.

This is when the parts of the Ship of Theseus are made into a new ship, is it still the Ship of Theseus

Scenario 3.

This is when a part of the Ship of Theseus gets removed or lose, is it still the Ship of Theseus?

With these three different scenarios, I believe yes it is still the same ship. In the first scenario even if the ship replaces its part it still the same ship. Think about it, your body changes its cells everyday are you still the same person?

Subject matter vs Kaupapa

Mood Board

This year for my subject matter I have chosen cityscape/urban. I picked cityscape/urban because I find it very interesting. The artist model I have picked Josef Muller--Brockman, Jonathan Barnbrook, Joseph Chrurchward. I picked these three artist model because, by looking at there works I find them interesting and inspiring. 

For my corporate I am planning to do a clothing brand or a music company. 

For my corporate I think will do a clothing brand for men. I will be naming it Phoenix 

Folio board Next steps.

My next steps for my folio board is to draw more tiger pictures and the environment they live in. I chose to draw tigers because it will represent the ferocious and as protector of the land. With that is can surely connect to my kaupapa that environment and wildlife protection. I'll also start to paint the tiger so my folio board can transition to monochromatic to more colourful orange paintings of a tiger, with this I should finish my first board. My plan for my second board is to draw eagles.I will draw the features and paint the environment that they live in. I chose the eagle to represent peace and as the protector of the skies. I will draw them in an ukiyo-e style to base it on the artist I am interested in which is Katsushika Hokusai.

DVC Rendering Internal

In the past few weeks in DVC, we have been doing a Rendering Internal.

What did you like? I liked the colour combinations of the bottles, especially the blue one.

What didn't you like? I didn't like how I coloured the green one and blue one, it looks messy

How do you like it? Feedback? I think I did a pretty good job rendering my bottles. If I have to do this again I would improve my rendering skills, and pick more great colour combinations.

Presentation Reflection

My presentation turned out to be better than I expected. I expected that I would stop in the middle of my presentation and forget my sentences. However I didn't, I remembered all my lines and said it fluently and with a flow. I also expected that I would laugh in the middle of my presentation and ruin it. Yet I didn't, I conquered my fear of presenting in front of other people. 

Before I did my presentation, I was nervous and felt sick, I was about to throw up but I kept calm and thought of my presentation and what I'm presenting. When I was presenting, I felt like a different person. I felt like someone who always stands and presents in front of crowds. I also noticed that my voice was a little bit different. It was deeper than my usual voice.

If I was to do my presentation again, I would make a slide about my phone or show my phone to the audience. I also want to the increase the amount of words in my presentation to make it a little bit longer. Lastly, I would like to do some more hand gestures while presenting, to look more professional. At the end of my presentation I passed and I was relieved that I finished my presentation. After my presentation I realized that presenting was fun and I would like to give it a try again.

Term 3 Week 2 Visual Arts 2020

Today Im going to show some photos of my artworks that I will be putting in my portfolio board. My kaupapa is about environment and wildlife protection. 

- Because my kaupapa is about environment and wildlife protection, I will be using an eagle to depict as the guardian of heaven and the sky. Although I will still work on this and improve the shading.

-The Eagle in the second drawing still needs some more details, I also need to improve my shading for the second daring.

-For this drawing my shading is really sloppy which is why I will be re doing it. I picked the bear to depict as the protector of the Earth/ Land. 

What is Working?

The theme for my folio board is environment so I have been doing some sketches that is related for my theme. The sketches I have been doing is looking really good, but it needs improvement. I also like how I structured my sketches making it fit in my portfolio board.

What is not Working?

I don't really have problems, for my artworks yet but I think I just need to improve on my sketches and the shading.

What is your next step?

My next step would be painting my sketches

Analyzing 'Funeral Blues'

Funeral Blues

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,

Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum

Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead

Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'

Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,

Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,

My working week and my Sunday rest,

By noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;

I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,

Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;

For nothing now can ever come to any good.

W.H. Auden

Assonance - My East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest.

-This was an effective language technique used by Auden in the poem 'Funeral Blues'. This is because it gave the reader an understanding of how important the character he is talking about to him.

-The sentence is in past tense. This is because of the word 'was'.

Hyperbole - The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun.

-This was an effective language technique because it exaggerates what the writer is talking about.

-The sentence is in present tense. This is because of the word 'now'.

Emotive Language- Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is dead' 

-This was an effective language technique because it gave the reader an emotive response.

-The sentence is present tense.
