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.
