Culture and History I

Culture and History I

Culture is the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a particular people or society while history is the study of the past events, particularly in human affairs.

Project 1A : Discussion Forum

In this part of project, we were assigned to create a forum and insert the information and research detail for specific historical building.
My group was assigned with Temple of Zeus at Olympia which houses 3rd wonder of the world, Statue of Zeus inside.

Reflection:


Unlike others, i love history very much especially Greek history and Mythology. I always studies their culture and godness. I learned alot in this project especially when we realize the information for Temple of Zeus at Olympia is very minimal which most of them are myth and inaccurate. My group mates and I have to work harder than others as after we collected all the information, we still have to filter off those inaccurate myth and legends but overall for this project is fun and exploration!

Project 1B : Presentation Panel

For this part of project, we have to produce a presentation board from what we gain in the forum and researches. My topic is the summaries of Temple of Zeus at Olympia.

Reflection:

I summaries all those info we gain from researches. Well I think instead of writing long annoying essay form information why don't I use point form. People are lazy, that why they hate history. I also used brown color paper to emphasis the golden ratio which people originally think the golden ratio is present after Parthenon but there are also prove that Temple of Zeus was the very first building to apply golden ratio according to ancient writer which I believe it's true as it also comes with pictures.

Project 1C : 3D abstract Model

For this part of project, we have to create an abstract model of assigned building. My group and I made a model with scale 1:70. (30cm x 30cm base).

Reflection:


Making model is one of my favorite hobby since I was a kid, I didn't expect it will be that hard until we realize the building is no longer existing and the dimension provided are according to those ancient writer. It's a challenging part of the project which we have to use mathematics theory to solve the proportion issue for this model.
