Lectures
Week 1
Ms Jinchi started off the lesson by starting a discussion about the general idea of communication and how the visual arts help us to deliver a message and motifs.
After we've passed that, we were divided into groups and each group is given a line of text to which we were have to act out in a game of charades with the whole class. The rules are simple, speaking, mouth words, write, draw , and anything are not allowed except making a body gesture or movements. It demonstrated to us that without access to any of these different channels of communication, it would be more difficult and time consuming to deliver a clear message for the receiver.
Then she briefs us about the module outline and gave us our first assignment. She gave us a song title, which we have to analyse and come up with a piece of artwork that delivers the same message as the song did, "Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Collins is the song that were chosen for us, this assignment have to be collected in the fourth week.
Aside from that, another assignment were also given, we have to watch a video that explains what communication is and produce a five to six slide presentation for next week to present what we got from the video, as well as our own experiences.

Week 2
On the second week of the class, we then present what we learned from the video, all the groups pretty much have the same topic, so I was kinda thinking it was pointless for us to actually present the same thing over and over again, because it's basically the same thing and we all understand it. anyway here is our presentation.
Week 3
On this week, Ms Jinchi come to each groups one by one to discuss about our progress and ideas for the assignment. Our group idea was to make a comic where each of the member of our group make 3 panels from the storyboard, but Ms Jinchi want us to explain and give a reason why should it be a comic and be responsible for that decision.
Week 4 - Quiz
The class started off by doing the first quiz for this semester, the quiz is about the lectures that Ms. Jinchi uploaded in Times and what we have presented about communication before. Afterwards, Ms. Jinchi continued to see our progress one by one and discuss about it. So this is the progression that I made,

| Sketch 1 |

| Sketch 2 |
So after a lot of research and discuss on how what kind of artwork we are gonna make, we decided to make a piece of painting, either digitally or traditional way, and then combine it on one piece of artboard.
