Listening/Viewing/Representing Task: Discovery
My concept of discovery is this: Discovery is a process of going on a journey that impacts and invites you to understand something new. Discoveries allow individuals to experience a different view. Discoveries can be sudden and unexpected or deliberate and carefully planned. They can open up fresh and meaningful ways to experience something. Discoveries develop a different understanding. Discovery can be affected by personal, cultural or historical context. It challenges individuals to engage with their environment and develop a broadened and deeper understanding. As seen in Away, written by Michael Gow, it is about people discovering new things about the world and themselves. They go on a journey …show more content…
My concept of discovery is that discovery is a process. In Looking for Alibrandi Josie goes on a process of developing her relationships with her father. At the beginning she is angry and not interested in him. She says “You should be a politician. They’re full of crap too”. But she goes on a journey of discovering her relationship with him and begins to feel dependant on him.

From my concept of discovery, I have represented an intellectual discovery of the brain unravelling and being impacted by change. I have represented discoveries as the unravelling of the brain. I chose this image because it is related to the intellectual part of a person. The image is drawn from a distance to get a whole picture view. It is presented as a forward facing image to confront the viewer. There is a clear reading path leading to the brain. The brain is a metonym for intellectuality. The image is drawn in black and white to keep it
