Culture & Civilisation

Project 1

Task

We were required to produce a graphical timeline consisting of issues related to the geography, economy, politics and culture of Thailand's civilisation. We also had to produce a journal on the civilisation, documenting all research materials found.

Reflection

The learning outcomes for this project were to develop skills on data gathering and describing the historical development of human civilisation. Other than that, we were introduced to Western and Eastern cultures and civilisations through discoveries, ancient monuments, artwork, literature and achievements of the leaders of the civilisation from the past.

Project 2

Task

We were required to produce a recorded film of a civilisation given by the lecturers. The civilisation that we were given was The Man in the Iron Mask and the video is roughly 20 minutes long. We then had to individually create a journal describing our characters inside the video.

Reflection

The learning outcomes for this project was to demonstrate good documentation and presentation skills, as well as enabling us to inspect the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western cultures and civilisations.

Through this project, I understood the French culture and civilisation by conducting researches with my group members. It had improved out communication skills between members by exchanging ideas and results of researches.

Final Project

Task

We were required to create an A5 sized coffee table photo book based on the themes and concepts chosen. For my book, the theme that I chose was Architecture and my concept was Evolution of shopping malls. We were also required to produce a literature research on all the information that we've gathered for our coffee table photo book. My sites were Pertama Complex and The Gardens Mall which both are located in Kuala Lumpur.

Reflection

The learning outcomes for this project was to demonstrate good documentation and presentation skills, as well as enabling us to inspect the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western cultures and civilisations.

Through this assignment, I was able to observe details of both Pertama Complex and The Gardens Mall that I've never noticed before. The process of designing and creating the photo book had stimulated my creativity to present a informative graphical book.
