For the
start of the seminar we had to do a home task to bring into the seminar. The
task was to look at two of the questions that we are considering and define
them. Next was to get at least two definitions of your chosen topic. So for
this I decided to go with the hip hop definition and the graffiti definition.
This is because these are the two topics that I am considering to do for my
work. Below is the work that I managed to do in my book and I have defined two
questions that I would like to look into. The second page is of the books that I
have looked at. I have referenced these using the APA Sixth referencing. And
then the other side is the definition with the APA reference next to them. This
task has helped me gain a bit of knowledge on what I would like to do and it
has helped me for when I start to write my essay.
The first
task of the seminar was to look at the books that I had brought in. I brought
in four books and I decided to look at the Graffiti and Street Art book by Anna
Waclawek. This book had some good images of professional street art and
graffiti. We had to get a quote from the book and write it down. The quote I went
with was:
“Words or drawings, especially humorous, rude,
or political, on walls, doors, etc. in public places.”
Waclawek,
A. (2011). Graffiti and Street Art. London: Thames & Hudson.
Next was to
take the author and include her in the quote and write it. I decided to go
with:
Anna
Waclawek claims that Graffiti is usually humorous, rude, or even political and
is seen on walls and doors in public places.
From this
task it has helped me write a quote and use the APA sixth to reference it, and
it has also helped me begin to write a bit for my essay. I have gain a lot of
experience with writing skills and this will help me for when it comes to writing
my essay or begin writing it.
The last
part of the seminar was to see if everyone knew what the questions were asking.
I have decided to go with the question: ‘Discuss the effect of SUBCULTURES on influential
graphic designers.’ I am happy with what I have to do and what I am going to start
looking at. My topics are Graffiti and Hip Hop and I have a few ideas on what
to look at to begin with.
