Who are you as a Designer?

Since i was young i always interesting in art, design, music and sport but i don't really know what i wanted to be. I have been study a lot of different things like math, computer, accounting and so on, although i could do very well in those subject but i don't really like it until i started to do art, music and sport and i really enjoy it because it's something that i could do all day without stop while am also enjoy it as well. In art, I always like to see and explore a great project and art works from different artist, I like how different people have different ideas and represent themselves though their art work and design. It's really amazing when I see some great art work and a piece of design from other artist and designer and i think there is no right or wrong in art or design it's just how artist and designer represent themselves in different way, in they own way and to do what they (I) love is all it's matter.

Maori tattoo or To Moko aren't just a tattoo, each tatoo have itz meaning or back at the old day
it's use to identify their tribal and represent them self as Maori. Nowaday Maori tattoo aren't
the same as what the traditional tattoo use to be. I went to have a look at the tattoo shop in cuba
street and i found that they are doing Maori tatoo as well by using new technology to get a tatoo done from needle and wasn't like the traditional way use to do which ussing bone chisel. Some people are having it jst for show and don't even know what does it mean which i think that traditional Maori tatoo should not be for fashion because otherwise their tradition will be wipe away and replace it with fashion and unmeaning tattoo which it's use to be more than just tattoo.

Blog assignment 6

Bauhaus

Bauhaus is the first design school that combined the elements of fine arts and crafts in their education. It is very similar to what we study in firstyeardesign in victoria university. Because the way that the Vorkurs or preliminary work was covered in the first semester and its job was to stimulate the students interest in materials, drawing techniques and form so that there innate creative ability might be best directed towards a specific workshop. Just like many of our firstyear papers that about drawing in 101, 111 with shape and form, 141 with experimenting with materials, so both Bauhaus and Victoria University are working the same way by encouraged student to develop their interests so their innate creative ability could lead them to particular area and idea of what they will be study in secoundyear.
