Elements in Natural and Built Environment: The Journal One
The Journal is an exercise/assignment for the Environment of Natural and Built Environment (ENBE) class, where students could use their imaginations to explore a certain topic they narrowed down from a main topic given by the lecturers. It is an exercise to enhance the student’s creativity, and at the same time it can help one understand more about the subject itself.
This is the first Journal for this year, and the main topic is Natural Phenomenon. I had a several ideas the moment I heard of the topic. I actually hesitated whether to write a disastrous or non-disastrous natural phenomenon. My initial idea was to write something non-disastrous, like Snow Donut, Aurora Boreallis, Double Rainbow, Coloured Waterfall, and more. Later, I changed my mind into drawing disastrous natural phenomenon. Again I had a few ideas, like Golden Tornado, Sandstorm, Snowstorm, but in the end I chose Volcanic Eruption because I had a sudden inspiration to explore more about Volcanic Eruption. I had never wondered how a volcano erupt, so during this project, I put my heart into understanding what was happening inside of a volcano while all people see from the outside was a series of bombs.
Reflection:
After doing this journal, I was satisfied with what I understood about a volcano. Though I wished I could’ve learned more, but because this exercise only limited us to 5 pages, I managed to grab out sufficient volcanic information that should be considered “more than enough.” I learned things that was a blur to me, like the inside a volcano during a volcanic eruption, process of the eruption, some little facts about volcanic eruption and more. It was a worthwhile project.
