Part1-Mind Map/Brainstorming

Origin from my brother who contacted me frequently at that time, I started my brainstorming by considering his personality and characteristics.

 

Part 2

the definitions of the words metaphor and symbol

Ten metaphors and symbols

What I evolved later were ten concepts: Bees, Stick, Chameleon, Robot, Scale, Clock, Wild cat, Lighter, and Weed.

• Bees- social animal(insect), cooperation
• Stick- stubborn
• Chameleon- adaptable
• Robot- rational
• Scale- “fair”
• Clock- precise
• Wild cat- nimble
• Lighter- inflammable
• Weed- indomitable

 

Part3

Further research

I chose Bees, Lighter, and Scale to investigate deeper.

 

Book1-Sequence and Narrative

For my book1, I used the concept of lighter, which involved fire.

I was actually trying to show the history of lighter. Born with the discovery of fire, people created matches later. Then, the first lighter was invented as a weapon used for wars. It gradually evolves into the lighter people commonly use today.

      

 

*1+1=3: Image Sequence

This work shows the life of worker bees. Born(by the queen bee), grew in the honeycombs,  grew up, work(gather nectar).

Book2-Collage+Drawing

The concept I chose for my book2 is Scale. Starting with Lady Justice, I showed different scales for various usages. I also tried to make each of them connected.

 

 

Book3-Meander

 Since the requirement was to let us use text, I used the concept–Robot for my book3. It’s more like artificial intelligence actually, and I included some coding in the picture. 

 

Final Book

Proposal

Final work

-Preface-
The first part shows what a worker bee is born to do.

-The Honeycomb-
The worker bees are gestated by the honeycomb.

-Union-
I want to show the process of how the worker bees work--find a flower, call their mates, gather the nectar, and find another flower. My focus point is the word "cooperation".
