In my second sketch (Figure 2) Winter from The Four Season, I had heard the sound of the wind blowing through a freezing dark night, followed by the music the wind had gotten bigger and stronger. Afterwards, it seems like the wind had stopped and the music had presented a life that full of hope but in the end, it shows that the moment of "hope" is not real but a warning to get prepared for the storm. Besides that, it keeps on repeating the same rhythm and it makes me feel in a maze where there is no way out.
In my third sketch (Figure 3) Summer, It is a piece of music that is full of hope and joy. In the music, I can hear joy and excitement and the things that appear from my thoughts are sunflowers and the Sun. Besides, the playful notes that jump over the music make me feel that time will never go to an end, freedom, hope and happiness will always go on.

In the second sketch, I had coloured it with watercolour on a piece of A2 size watercolour paper (Figure 5). In the design, I had made some small adjustments compared to the sketch by making the loops form from small to big.
For my Third sketch, I had tried on using colour pencils (Figure 6) and colour makers (Figure 7) to show the feeling of hot summer and the bright, joy, happiness that I had heard from the music.

FEEDBACK
The first and Second sketches can't really show unity, but the third sketch is better. After that, trying not to place the hot air balloon in the design is better unless there is a purpose to add it.

PRACTICAL - EXERCISE 3 // UNITY
Idea Inspiration & Research
Exercise Progression
Then, I had sketched out 3 sketches that represented each piece of music I had heard. After that, I use different kinds of materials to present my topic, like colour makers, watercolour and coloured pencils.
For my first sketch (Figure 1) Moonlight Sonata, what feelings and emotions I had heard from the music are starting with depression and loneliness; in the middle part of the music shows joyfulness and hope but it remains only a short moment; after joyfulness and hope it had a significant turn into anxiety and excitement.
Idea Inspiration & Research
In this exercise, I had chosen unity as my topic. I try to find ideas about the topic on Google or Pinterest but I can't find an actual idea for my design. Therefore, I try on something that I haven't done before, that is drawing out pictures from what I heard in the music and trying to create a design based on feelings and emotions that I felt. I found some videos on Youtube and some articles based on the pieces of music on Wikipedia. Besides that, I had found out that lines have emotions while we draw them.

After that, I experimented by drawing out the sketches. For my first sketch, I drew it on a piece of art paper in the size of A2 with a colour maker (Figure 4). To make it show differences between the three-part I had heard, I had used different colours to present the emotion.
In the second sketch, I had coloured it with watercolour on a piece of A2 size watercolour paper (Figure 5). In the design, I had made some small adjustments compared to the sketch by making the loops form from small to big.
For my Third sketch, I had tried on using colour pencils (Figure 6) and colour makers (Figure 7) to show the feeling of hot summer and the bright, joy, happiness that I had heard from the music.

After having feedback from Dr Charles, I decided to choose the third sketch as my outcome. Next, I try to make it better by digitizing it in Adobe Illustration.

After that, I add some mountains and a hot air balloon to the background. After Feedback from Dr Charles, the hot air balloon seems to have a litter distribute the whole design. Therefore I remove the hot air balloon from the design.

REFLECTION
In this exercise, I have faced a lot of difficulties but I think little by little I had overcome them with the help of Dr Charles. Besides that, I had learnt Unity can be applied in different places and it is one of the important facts that affect the design look.
