OUGD502 ME STUDY TASK

The Task:
In groups of 4, discuss how the others see you, make a list of perceptions, identifications that describe how you see each other. Be honest and perceptive.
Write down a list of things such as how you perceive the individual, physically, mentally, socially etc, and gain as comprehensive a list as possible.
Then, take your list (about you) check out and see what the 'perceived you' is and how you evaluate WHY they say these things, agree disagree and write either:
A narrative of a paragraph length, or near, about you, based on the external perceptions, who they are. In any form, story, poem or anything creative and add to your PPP blog headed 'ME'.

My list of qualities. I agree that I am healthy, athletic and fit as I try my best to eat as healthy as possible and go to the gym a few times a week. I also agree that I am quiet, as I don't talk all the time, mainly because I don't have anything to add, but sometimes because I don't feel what I have to say is of any significance so there's no point saying as people won't be interested. I also do have blue hair, and love how this is an identifying thing with me, as I love my blue streak. I'd like to think I was creative being on this course, however I don't really thing I come up with innovative ideas, and I don't think I'm that experimental, maybe because it takes such a lot of brain power to come up with ideas in the first place. I also agree I'm adventurous, not in every way though, in some ways I really am not adventurous, however in others, such as travelling, I'd like to think I am. I also agree I am picky with choosing films, as I know what I like, and I have to be in the right mood to watch certain things. 

Creative output:
Based on some of the qualities people perceive I have, such as experimental, creative, innovative ideas, and my blue hair, I produced these wildly colourful patterns using Brusho powders, to express these qualities. I then wrote the qualities inside the colour areas, in black and white ink, to see which stood out the most.
Initially I went crazy and used a whole variety of colours, however due to the amount of water I used, the colours mixed too much and started to go slightly brown. In the second attempt, I narrowed myself down to only a few similar colours, blue, green, yellow, purple, to avoid this mixing of colours. This has resulted in the colours being much more defined, however because of the more restricted colours, it doesn't look as crazy compared to the initial design.

This study task has been really interesting to see how other people perceive me, as some things that were said I wouldn't immediately think of myself as. This study task also provided the opportunity to experiment with Brusho powders, which I hadn't got round to experimenting with either.
