W3: SDL - Starting to Visually Map

Starting to visually map my interests and preferences surprised me.

I put together all the designs and works I have collected for this course into a grid system so that I could sort them

I thought I would be more attracted to artistic and traditional led designs, but when sorting through these and assigning them, I found that more of them are geometrically and digitally focused. I do however like graphic and image focused designs rather than text or shapes.

Última pràctica Visual Thinking

Aquesta tarda he acabat l’última activitat del Curs de Visual Thinking de AprendeINTEF. 

Ens han fet fer un mapa visual interactiu. L’he fet a mà i després he pujat la foto al canva i he anat fent els enllaços amb la carpeta d’aprenentatge que he fet utiliztant aquesta eina TUMBLR. 

Ha quedat així:

També us poso l’interactiu. 

He après moltíssim, però necessitaria més temps per poder anar assimilant tot el que se m’ha explicat. Sort que podem tornar a entrar a consultar els apunts. 

Way! Estic contenta perquè m’ha servir per augmentar els meus coneixements, no hem perdut el temps, està ben estructurat i m’ha fet tenir ganes de saber-ne més! 

Per això m’he comprat alguns llibres. En una altra entrada us els ensenyaré.

Letter Ten; Visual Maps. The emotional landscape of Covid19. Part One.

Visual mapping is a form of drawing that I use to aesthetically document moments. In these drawings and sculptures, I use visual language to document emotions felt at key moments at home during the Covid19 2020 Pandemic Quarantine. It works much like a journal, but instead of words, the visual language of line, shape, color, space, etc are used to convey the emotions and experiences. The rectangle is the boundaries of my house footprint. The placement of diagrams reflects the physical placement of the body during a specific moment.

There is a little history here to give this context. I’ve been working with my students in our class, "The Guerrilla Art Collective" at Curie HS on Chicago's SW side. Together with my colleague, Andres Hernandez, we worked with students to visually map our experiences during the Covid19 Pandemic. We actually started mapping our community before Covid19, but then we were concerned with issues of safety and freedom within the context of an unequal and disparate political/economic space. 

Now we are faced with a new world, a new way of living. We decided to use our mapping technique to capture our experiences facing this novel virus. What is like to be in our homes, to venture out into the world? What are our issues of safety, danger, freedom, and restriction now?

Intended to be an artistic way to capture data difficult to quantify, this process became a way of journaling for me in my own practice. I’ve continued to do the drawings as a way to see within and express the ineffable.

Week 1

Clarified A2 Visual Map of my interests.  This clarified map reflects the projects that I really enjoyed and clear paths I am interested in.

Week 1 

Further clarifying my interests as a starting point to begin with. Visually mind mapping what I have found to be interesting after the Residential Dwelling Project and the topics I wrote about in Communications in Creative Cultures. I took an interest in one of my essay papers into Housing Styles within New Zealand. I found this interesting learning about the architecture about my own country. Housing styles both have functionality, materiality that are used to create atmospheres. These key words stood out for me. 

Housing has always been an interest of mine. Every time I am in a new place I am always curious looking at the exteriors of the houses and what style they might be, what qualities of the house from what I can see do I like and not like. It fascinates me even in New Zealand the range of Housing styles we have. All so different and unique while at the same time the land, property, positioning, location of the house. Environments can be strong factors for the type of dwelling styles as well.

A bit of a story behind me is, As a child until my later teenage years the longest I had ever lived in one house was up to 4 years. However, the title now belongs to my current home in Auckland which I have taken up residence and semi-residence after leaving home for now 7 years. We always were moving to different types of house. Reflecting on this experience, I am confronted with what makes a house a home. But without fail every time, the house would always end up with homely vibes and always had the association but I can’t remember how long it took or if it was different every time. The thing is, when reflection upon these some of the house I was really little so I don’t remember much- or if I do it is a random feature of the house. One of the houses I lived in Hawkes Bay when I was little however all I remember there being a slope of grass and at the end of it was a bit bushy hedge. Random- but the memory is interesting. I have a lived in a range of types of homes: - Cottage on an Orchard Block - Farm - Lifestyle Block - Apartments - Halls of Residence - City Homes (houses of hills, flat land) Image is me working out what in my mind works into the areas we had discussed in class.
