Below are the pictures of the timeline and journal :

However, the objectives of this assignment were to introduce Western and Eastern culture and civilizations through an overview of archaeological discoveries, ancient monuments, artworks, philosophies and the achievements of great leaders from the past to the present as well as to show basic skills on enquiry, investigation, application and presentation of relevant information.
After completing this assignment, my understanding and knowledge about China increased. All the research and information gathered and documented helped me to understand about the civilization of China. I was exposed to their culture even more through the journal. I had understand China's culture and tradition, their architecture, inventions and many more. By gathering all the informations needed to complete this task, I aslo improved my research skills.
PROJECT 2 : MESSAGES FROM THE PAST
For assignment, we were required to produce a play in a video format which was based on a specific civilization for about 20 to 25 minutes. Our group had gotten The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines. The video had to cover themes such as sociology, engineering, archeology, myths and legends of the civilization. Individually, we were required to produce an A5 size journal of our character that would demonstrate the understanding of the elements mentioned. I had chosen Kesum, as he was one of the characters I had to act out.
The following is the storyboard of our short movie :

The objectives of this project was to enable us to examine the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western civilizations and also to enable us to show basic skills on enquiry investigation, application and presentation of relevant information.
By conducting the research on Merong Mahawangsa, I could understand the Malay culture and civilization even more. Through this assignment, we were able to understand and get exposed to the myths and legends of South East Asia. Since we were required to act, I had the chance to improve my memory and acting skills as we had to memorize our script. Working with the group also gave me the opportunity to share and exchange ideas with on another and producing a great movie.
PROJECT 3 : ART + ARCHITECTURE + CULTURE
For the final project, we were required to produce an A5 graphical coffee table book based on the themes given, which were Architecture, Pop Culture and Food. I had chosen Architecture for my book. Based on these themes, we were supposed to determine a concept which we had to present throughout the entire book. The concept that I had opted for was Old Buildings in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Besides that, we were also required to produce a literature research on the places we visited during our photography journey, which was Kuala Lumpur itself in my case.
The following are some photos of the coffee table book :

From the final assignment, I was able to express my photography skills even further through the opportunity of taking photographs. I was also given the chance to pay attention to the little details on the buildings that I have not noticed before. By planning and designing the layout for my coffee table book, I had manage to improve my creativity, as it required me to create an informative visual book. At the end of the task, all the learning outcomes and objectives were achieved.
