My final Piece

For my Final Piece I have decided that I am going to create a canvas which is going to include a verse out of the Welsh National Anthem and the Celtic spoon, I believe that this will give us a sense of place as the mind might wonder what are these two objects doing on a canvas. I have chosen these two as the National Anthem means a lot to Welsh people and the Celtic spoon is a sign of history within Wales.

Why the Welsh Language and Culture

I have chosen this topic as it is very important to me. I have spoken Welsh since the age of 3. I often speak welsh to all family members, I believe that this is a good thing as I can ensure that I do not lose the language. (which is easy to do). Whilst living in Swansea I have continued to speak Welsh with many of the residents. I have chosen the Welsh Culture because I find our scenery lovely and can take your mind to many places. I believe that I am very lucky where I live as we have many mountains and the scenery is outstanding.

Creating the pages

For my front page I have decided to create a typical 'Valleys' image, which includes a paragraph about the welsh language. I have chosen this as Wales have nice scenery and are best known for the coal mines. I also liked researching the information about Saint Fagans, Big Pit and The Heritage Park which is my local historical centres. I then researched about the welsh language, this brought all kinds of information such as the Celtic spoon and their types of writing. There was also information about the popularity of who spoke what language.

Blogging for my work

Today I decided to make the graffiti headings for my main pages. It was fun to create these titles as it had been a while since having a go in the class room, I decided to make the heading Family and Teulu.

 Family

Teulu










Whilst making these headings I came across the text image, for this image I used the Welsh Dragon, through the Welsh Dragon I have written 'Cymreag yw iaeth ni' which says welsh is our language.

Brief for my ICT Project

For my visual and communication project I have chosen the Welsh Language and it's Culture, I have chosen this because the welsh language has been spoken throughout my family since I was at a small age. My brother, cousin, grandparents and I all communicate with one another through welsh. I believe that the Welsh Culture is very beautiful as we are well known for our coal mines and its beautiful scenery. As I researched more into the Welsh Culture I came across the Celtic's way of writing and the Celtic spoon, there was a lot of information about it and about how it was found. I also researched more into the Welsh Eisterddfod as I knew a little about it but not enough.

Visual Communication

Today we walked around the university thinking about our emotions. Myself and Kara thought of happiness and clamness, as we walked around the university we came across many different bright colours and different sceneries. We took many pictures, once we came back to the classroom we narrowed the pictures down to just 6. The photo's I chose represent me as an individual.

These are the 6 photo's that i have chose.

 I have chosen this image because it is very bright and it standsout to everybody that walks past it.

I have chosen this image of the Beach as it is a place that you can run away to, to clear your head and emotions, I have many good memories at the sea side.

I believe that this image is effective as a group of friends are happy and feel comfortable with one another as you can see the members are smiling.




















This image is very effective as it is bright and colourfull, this image represents an happy emotion.

For my final image i have chosen the image of 'Sunset' as i found that this was the most interesting image. I also included the word Jodie as I am including it in my blog

The Graffiti Creator

I created a log o by using the graffiti creator. The words that I have included in my graffiti is Jodie, i have used this as i would sometime like to include it into my work.

Tagxedo

I decided to create another image, but this time i used the letters JOY, i used the information from my blogs to make the image interesting.

Today I created a Worlde which te information was taken out of my first blog, it was very interesting to see what had been formed.

Creating a animation

Today in the class we created an animation which the others were going to guess what our catch phrase was. Through making this animation we had to use a number of slides and pictures, we first began by using the beginners one then went on to using the advance, whilst creating the animations we had to create on image and make it move to the other side of the page. the catchphrase that I created was has the cat got your tongue, when the animation was completed the cats paws and the tongue both moved therefore i believed that the animation was a great success.
