Pin-up1: We started with the characters analysis which students have selected 1 character to study about the bahavior. And then they transformed their ideas into 2D graphics to present what they got such as keywords of behavior and some kind of design elements and principles to enlighten people about their works.

ie. The lamplighter 1> his duty comes first > concentrated > focal point
2> do the same thing and never stop > consistency > repetition, rhythm

Pin-up2: After they’ve got the keywords already, they needed to transform the ideas into the 3D models which could be made of paper, wood, acrylic, etc. (moveable model is optional) This process we’re trying to translated those keywords into some kind of tangible space, from which one was so abtract. (this really drives me insane! haha.) Some of them got a work presentation quite well though.

The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince), published in 1943, is French aviator Antoine de Saint Exupéry‘s most famous novella, which he wrote in the United States while renting The Bevin House in Asharoken, New York, on Long Island. The novella includes a number of drawings by Saint-Exupéry himself, which are reproduced in most versions.

The book has been translated into more than 180 languages and dialects so far.To date it has sold more than 80 million copies worldwide,making it one of the best-selling books ever. It has been adapted into a movie musical by Lerner and Loewe, two different operas, as well as into an animated series. It is often used as a beginner’s book for Franch language students.

Though ostensibly a children’s book, The Little Prince makes several profound and idealistic points about life and human nature. Saint Exupéry tells of meeting a young prince in the middle of the Sahara. The essence of the book is contained in the famous lines uttered by the fox to the Little Prince: “On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.” (One cannot see well except with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes). Other key thematic messages are articulated by the fox, such as: “You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed” and “It is the time you have spent with your rose that makes your rose so important.” (www.wikipedia.org)
