Task 1 week 7

Using pen, paper and cameras, we will explore the proposed area(Flinders St station). Look at it from a new angle, explore everything(legally!) as if you were exploring a new location in Second Life. Go to places you(and others) would generally never go to and look at things from a new 'point of view.'

As you find a new 'point of view' - answer the following questions.

What is already there that can be used somehow? Objects, buildings, textures, people, businesses etc...
  1. The flinders street station
  2. the trams
  3. the St. Paul's Cathedral
  4. the city streets.
What could be there in the future - how will the overall future theme effect what exists at the moment, and what will replace it?

Post apocalyptic

What would you like to see?
What wouldn't you like to see?

Also;
What area would you replicate? Where are the boundaries? How will this be handled?
Keep an eye out for different forms of writing for the project below.

Answer these with pen and paper for at least two different 'points of view,' then post it on your blog along with any photos.

We will then discuss our ideas as a class, each person answering each of the three questions and sharing what they learnt. We shall discuss once again an overall vision for the city with guidance from Johnny and Adam, taking some more definite notes about ideas.

Picture comparison

I think that it is more fun to take a picture in second life because you can dress your avatar however you would like, where as pictures of yourself are more conservative.
I think that its a silly exercise, because your avatar doesn't always have any resemblence to you.

This is a picture of my avatar (with a Link hat and hairstyle).

This is a picture of me at home.

Canoe (class 3)


Today I made a canoe and it was a good learning process because I made it out of only a hemisphere and a cube. The camera is very annoying.
