CNC PROJECT 1 : Back To Our Roots
The first project is about our past, culture and history. We have to flashback our own culture and civilization. In groups of two, we were assigned to do 2 A3 size board and a about 8 minutes video of evidence about our culture. For individual, prepared maximum of 4 A5 pages, describe the culture practice in the family.

We decided to create a old and classic theme on our board. Also, a water based theme was used because the ancestors were came to Malaysia by sailing. Fish represented their family's patron saint.
The video we do it like a documentary video that describe the culture and civilization. How is the culture and civilization affects the happiness and love in a family? Let's check out the video below!!
Although it is tough enough for us to do the project, but at least I learnt a lot of my culture. It warn me not to forget my own identity and without culture, life is meaningless. Besides, my art skill also sharpen and bring me to another level.
We managed to complete this project in time. Making a video is not as easy as it seems. We even needed to stay over at Choo's house for overnights to finish the boards and video.
After completing this project, I had a better understanding of my family's history. Moreover, this project required us to think creatively on how to make the video and the infographic boards systematically.
Communication between group members is important as good communication enables the work to be done smoothly and efficiently. I am delighted that Jeff and I cooperated well while doing this project.
