Website

Today I've been making the layout of my website that's going to work as a community for teachers and students. It could be hard to see what's said on the picture that is down below, I've diffirent categories: home, blogg, gallery, forum and links.

I'm going to explain the diffirent categories here.

Home: The home category is basically where I as a teacher can put up information to my students, for example what's going to happen at my classes this week. The students are able to find what's important for the week, month and year. Of course all teachers can do this as well.

Blogg: The blogg category is mainly for the students. This is where the students can choose to keep it between me and the student or make it availble for everyone to see. By making it available for everyone I meen everyone as a school.

Gallery: This is where art students but it will be room for any other students as well, to post some artworks. This where I as a teacher but also students could reflect on the artwork and bring theese thoughts to the classroom for further discussions.

Forum: This category I leave room to the students to talk about everything between heaven and earth. I think it's important to leave room for a more all-daily type of discussion between students. Why? well basically because the students spend so much time in school, it's like they haft to switch on some sort of "schoolprofile". It's like the schools and the society demands them to do it in order to learn something. I think it's wrong. I'm aware of the fact that some students might write something totally impropiet, I think that's a chance I've to take though. Maybe when the students realize the value of the forum maybe it takes a more serious turn? At least i hope so.

Links: This is where I as a teacher can put up links that could be useful for the students to work with, but the students can also use this category in the same way.

I choosed to keep the website blank at the moment, I think I want to keep it that way so everyone can imagine

This is what I'm going to present on thursday.

Life blogg

Fridays meeting was very rewarding to me. I finally know what I wan't to do, and what I'm going to do. I'm going to develope a "Life blog" as a teaching tools to my students. The idea with the blog is a tool to have a more effective and interactive way to communicate with my students.

The students are able to write whatever is on their minds. For example, if mondays math class sucked, the blogg is there to spread the word. And the mathteacher can read and reflect on it, and maybe could develope and better way to reach the students intrest?

My art students can put pictures they have made from a previous class on the blog and reflect on it as well on the blog. And I as a teacher can use this blog to develope my teaching but also how I can reach out to my students!

More updates will come!

into the final part

Now when the rapport is clear, but I still feel kind of lost in my project. I wanted to invent a tool to refil colour on the inside, I've been thinking alot about it but it all turn into confusion in the end.

I think the tool is myself, and I have to use myself as a starting point, and maybe people can see me and the way I refill my colours on the inside as a inspiration to maybe give themselfs or someone else colours. For the first time since I started on HDK I don't know how the final result is going be, or if it's going to be a "final" at all. Maybe this is something that are ment to be endless?

Anyhow, I've been thinking how I should present my ideas? I will most defenetly use Ane Bruns song "True colours". I've been thinking on useing photographs again, maybe it will be a mix of photographs and animation? I'm in a working process right now, and I will try diffirent methods, but if it dosen't turn out into something, I'm not afraid of standing there infront of everyone with nothing. Because I think my thoughts is so clear, that everyone can imagine it into pictures.
But I will try my hardest to make something at least..

I've been feeling really fed up with my project lately. I've been feeling very low lately, and I feel confused. Why do I do this? Why should I be the one to give colours to others? Who is going give colours to me? I need it.
I don't want to play god.

I feel that I need to focus on what I really wants with my project, and basicly at the beging it was to visible the unvisible. I haven't really been crazy about my project, it feels like I have missed something. Then something happend, i listned to Ane Bruns "true colours"


That song is brutally honest. And it made me see with new eyes on my project. Maybe i should give people a tool to find their own colours? Because sometimes when you feel down and you need to break out from the dark that surrounds you, your own colours from within is the only colours that honestly can make you feel better! If you set your mind to it.


They say "you can't love anyone if you don't love yourself"
I say " you are blind if you haven't discover your own colours"


I haven't really found any literature that I can quote from or get inspired from. But I'm searching for some. I have some books that are good at the didactics, but I feel I really need to focus on my new track at the moment. Please listen to Ane Brun, there's a link down below, check it out!

Peace/ J

This is the second short film that I've made! It's me giving colour on a bottle to a alcohol addict. How will he respond to the colour? Now when he's known to the society will he search help for his addiction? Or will someone offer him help? Or will he continue with his addiction? The colour is up to him!

Nödbox/emergency box

If you need colour! You can go to the emergency colour box!

Jag har tänkt lite på mitt färg projekt. Jag vill nog att alla ska kunna få färg när dem som mest vill ha det. Färgen ska vara tillgänglig 24.7
Därför tänkte jag att man kanske kunde ha som telefonboxar ute i stan, fast istället för en telefon så skulle det finnas en mask där man andas in färgen istället. Så kan man själv ställa in styrkan på färgen, vilken färg man vill ha osv.

Jag vet själv efter otagliga sjukhusbesök att andas in syrgas är något bland det bästa för att bli lugn och harmonisk. Tanken är väll att min syrgas mask ska ha samma påverkan, man blir lugn och trygg med sin färg.



Jag forsätter att tänka!
