Heyyyyyy y'all! It's the fourth lesson already!

I mean the idea of stylus probably came from there right?!
We also learnt about the different types of books in the history like the papyrus scrolls, animal skins (luckily there was no animal activists around, imagine the protests that could be happening around the world!)
We also learnt about Jan Tschichold( I wish I knew how to pronounce his name!) and how his teachings on typography, asymmetrical design and white space to commercial design CHANGED everything!!
Next, we learnt about the short history about posters and I gotta admit the Vantage Point poster which is a modern american movie poster is my favourite out of all the examples shown in class!
Another history lesson! And nope, I did not fall asleep, hehehehe! xD
The first part of the lesson was about the history of books and I think the coolest has to be this wax tablet!

Later, we were assigned to groups to explore more about the different art movements and mine is on Pop Art! The first thing that popped in my head was Marilyn Monroe, haha! :D And while I was researching about the Pop Art, I found a very interesting thing, pop art refers to not the art itself but also the one's attitude towards it and it coincided with the globalisation of pop and music! The two artists that we researched on was Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. And haha, really love Pop Art now after researching on it, it's so fun and eccentric and awesome-- ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
My favourite pop art-- food+art, it can't get any better!

Next we learnt about how to do a storyboard and it was a useful lesson since it can be used in our Video Production module! I'm not going to upload a photo of my storyboard because my drawing is as bad a... Wait, I'll let ya know when I find a word :D
Next we learnt about mood boards and their uses! I didn't know there could be so many uses for a mood board!
We were then assigned to make a mood board as our assignment and here's mine! Try making a guess for the theme!
No idea? Hehe, well the theme is concert and so there are many things that is in a concert: Fans, Performances, Posters,
Cameras to record but most people don’t realise the aftermath of it, the trash and
litter all over the venue.
Well, that's all for today folks! :)
