Week 9 Collaboration - Respect.
Collaboration Sarah Modoh
R001 - Nelson Mandela giving his speach about freedom and respect.

01 – Do you want or need respect?
yes to both. I want respect so I know that people acknowledge me, and I need respect because some people need respect to feel that they are higher than others in the social hierarchy. Also another thing with respect is that if you see yourself like the other person, and think of everyone as an equal then everyone is respected.
02 – Is there anybody in your class who does not give you respect?
no, not from what I know.
03 – If so, how do you feel about them?
04 – Is there anybody in your class who you do not respect?
No, because too earn respect you have to give respect and I need to be respected.
05 – If so, how could you change your feelings to be more naturally respectful?
A bit more reflective about it, have a bit of a think about it. You can think and separate their actions from there personality/them as a person.
06 – When do you find yourself not listening in class?
When I’m multitasking too much.
07 – What sort of people bore you? People that nag, talk about that one thing repetitiously for too long. People that talk about stories that you weren’t in and they make it sound epic.
08 – What sort of people are bored by you?
Mature people, people with opposite interests. Some people have different personalities.
09 – Do you ever find that other students or teachers are not listening to you?
yes, they might be subconsciously listening, you never know.
10 – If so, How could you improve this situation?
Listening is all about respect, its not all about of personality. To listen is respectful.

Supporting others;
1. Do you get the support you need?
Yes I do, and I think I take advantage of it because sometimes I don’t acknowledge it or realize how much support I get.
2. What percentage of students in your origination class do you support?
6 out of 6!
3. How?
I show that I’m supporting them by listening to them, maybe saying hello to show that I know that they’re in class so they know that I know. By cheering them on maybe in group activities.
4. What about the others?
The others as in the teacher? just show them respect.
5. Could you improve the way you support others? How?
yes, by being more attentive and showing my actions of respect more towards them.

I Think showing support and giving support is very imortant, not just during crazy, stressful, times like this but in life as well. As for the time we have left the support and respect we show weather it be mutual or more is really important, it give us that little more confidence so we know that we're good to go and can keep proceeding and progressing with our studies.


R002 - Supporting others in the class online, inside and outside of class.

R003 - So speaking in class about respect and support, a little goes along way. This is Amanda Todd, and this is her suicide video. She has committed suicide because she was left alone with no support and lost great respect from everyone. This all started from something small and turned into a massive upscale chain reaction, series of mass disrespect and lack of support to one person lead to this. a little goes along way. RIP amanda.

Origination Sarah Modoh

Today for the Origination class we all went to the art exhibition that is being exhibited in Building 5 Red.

There were 4 artists there, and they were the people that put the exhibition together, and hung everything up and placed all the art work everywhere in the room.

The artists talked about there works how they found it difficult to place one art work next to the other, they were pretty much just telling us from their point of view of how they found working with each other, and how they put each others artwork together. They also were giving us tips and strategies on how to come about these problems. One of the tips that the artists gave was for everyone to get mini pictures and a mini map to scale of the room and the artwork and then place them in place so when it comes to the real thing everyone will have an idea of where and who to place there artwork next to so its not just a big muck when it comes to the final day.

I thought that they all gave strong advice and it is very helpful.

R001 - This is a video called The Crevasse, The making of 3D stret art, artist Edgar Muller. He uses so much space to present his artwork, and he knows exactly how much. In our exhibition we should try and picture and measure out how much space we need to we all equally have enough space to show all our art so it can look magnificent.

06 - When you are asked for opinions on your work, do you compare it to others? of course, I never like my work to be the same as someone else that I know.
07 – If somebody plagiarised your work, would you be proud? No
08 – What is the difference between pride in your work, and vanity about your work? Pride is where you know you've worked hard for it, or you proud because you did it. And Vanity is where you think your work is the best or looks the best but it may not be your all in it.

WEEK 8 = ORIGINATION: Sarah Modoh
Reading Quizz --> Chapter 7 Emotions
1. When Maeda uses the "Feel, and feel for" principle, he is drawing on peoples connection to a very personal experience: feelings. List 3 ways that he would make use of this principle to visitors of your exhibition.

E-Tiquette - This is all up to the students and the designers. The whole point of this is to show ourselves as polite, well dressed and mannered and to make everyone feel welcomed inlcuding our audience aswell as other designers.Nude electronics - For the exhibition by using SHE (Shrink, Hide, & Embody) we can provide a well organised and presented exhibtion that looks clean, sleek and well thought out to show off the students artwork.Aichiku - create inpsiration for our audience and try and get them to engage with our artwork or have some emotion put on them so when they leave they remeber one or five of there favourite artworks.

2. What is animisnm? Why do you think the "Tamagocchi" craze of the '90s became such a craze? How can you apply this to your exhibition?
Animisnm - Is where someone has an abject without a soul but treats it as if it does, for example a pet rock, you woul dpretend ot feed it and talk to it as if it were a friend but really it isn't.The Craze - I think the Tamagocchi became such a popular craze to have in the 90's because everyone was getting one and

R001 - This woman has more than one tamogotchi.3. Name 2 products that you have purchased that gave you that feeling of "Aichaku" what feeling did those products evoke? was it the feeling that sold the product to you?
The two products that give me the "AIchaku" feeling is my GHD Straightener and my shoe collection, but if i had to pick one pair of shoes out of the collection it'd be my gold and black ones becase they were expensive.

The feelings that these products evoke are happy feelings and luxurious good feelings. They make me feel expensive and comfortable, and they bothe make me look good because they're high quality expensive products.


R002 - Red GHD "Lust" one of my faourite belongings.4. How do you reference to emotion relate to the simplicty/complexity relationship discussed in Law 5 - Differences.If theres more emotion it's more complex. If theres less emotion it is simple. But not having/showing more emotion can make the situation seem meaningless or boring.

R003 - This video shows no emotions so its boring at the start, then it shows plenty emotion halfway through so its not borring anymore. This is how the relationship between simplicity and complexity work.
