29/9/25 – Lego Workshop
During the workshop we was tasked with making Lego models in groups, based on different words given to us.
The first word ‘Rasgarasga’ was not defined for us, and we were instructed to create what came to our minds, without any discussion. My interpretation of this was a place, so I created a sidewalk.
We then put all our models together and connected the different narratives.
Our storyline goes as follows:
The Rasgarasga was an evil robot which ate people and animals. After its destruction the people celebrated, holding a music festival on the beach where the remains washed up.
After this exercise we then walked around and listened to the different table’s interpretations and included 1 detail we liked from each, into our own work.
We decided to incorporate cultists.
This changed our narrative to the following:
The people thought the Rasgarasga monster was evil but it was actually a mech fighter, being powered by 2 pilots. Deciding they did not like this, a group of people sought out to destroy this creation. Branding its destruction as a blessing, they brainwashed people into following them as the true peace bringers instead.
Reflection:
By working in groups we helped to deepen and develop our narratives each time. Without the collaborative aspect, our storylines would have lacked a lot of depth.
We continued this exercise by working with words we each understood, and instead focusing on what they meant to us and how they can be different.
30/9/25 – IP and Copyright Workshop
The workshop taught us about IP and copyright and gave more insight into how they work within different sectors of the creative industry. This gave me insight into some of the problems that can occur and different ways to protect my work.
Working in groups we each stepped into one of the listed roles and discussed how we would approach the specific scenario. I chose to become the Intern/Junior artist as it is what I am hoping to become during this DPS year. This experience allowed me to think honestly and practically about what I would do in this sort of situation.
