In week 10's Intro to Creative Play, we made some mood board and started experimented with the project. 

we had produced some mood board for idea visualisation. There are lots of colourful patterns, geometry texture and diagram of human evolution on the mood board.  This is the intention plan we were about to produce. 

Harry draw two diagrams to explain the physical object we were going to do. First one is to make several clay characters with scoop pattern on it. Harry aimed to show the process of human evolution by putting each character in different times. The second diagram showed how to make the  patterned metal buildings. In order to show the development of technology and society, we need to make the building metallic and shiny. Thus, I brought a foil roll to wrap up the foam. Of course, we have to draw the pattern on it as it's the most important element in our plan. 

The pattern I drew are not simply made up, they actually combined in lots of meanings and significance. 

The idea of my pattern inspired by ancient Egyptian symbols and Maya civilisations symbols. People all around the world know many Egyptian symbols when they see them. Those symbols are magical and significance, most of them were depicted in hieroglyphs, these symbols were often called ''The words of God'' and these symbols were often used by priests. 

An example of Egyptian Symbol: Ankh

symbol of eternal life. The gods are often see holding an ankh to someone's lips this is considered to be an offering of ''. The Breath of Life'' the breath you will need in the afterlife. 

Here are some photos of the final result of metal pattern buildings. They look a bit abstract because of the shape are not straight. However, I think it adds more meaning and abstraction to the project, it seems we live in an illusory world that combined the elements of ancient culture and modern technology together.
