Survey Monkey Questionnaire

After doing the first blog post about our questionnaire i realised that there was no way to actually collate the results. I looked at the questions and re-wrote them to be able to get a number of answers on a specific answer rather then people writing answers that could never be collated together to get any number of peoples answers.

I used all the same questions i just re-worded them and put a selection of answers for them to answer and closed the questions so that they can give specific answers.

The first page on the questionnaire is just saying about what it is for and about the fact that its for Cardiff Met studies. I also used it to say about the ethics of the images and how they can be upsetting.

The second page went straight in to the questions. Using the first questions about colours but changing it to people putting them in the order of preference, very simple just putting them number order.

The second question was originally them putting down the charities that they give to, because of our homeless research and that we were working on i decided just to ask about homelessness and find out if they had given money to homeless charities. and also used it to 

Question number 3 was about animal testing and the body shop and their campaign that they did against it. This piece was very affective and the questions again was changed from the original more just to ask how people feel about animal testing.

Number 4 was about a piece of public art called Give A Sh*t to promote hygiene facilities for the homeless. the question was just asking if they knew what this piece symbolised. 

The final question was very simple just asking how people felt about homelessness very similar to the original question .

So thats a run down of the questionnaire that i did on survey monkey .

if you want to fill it out it will help towards the final results of the survey. the link is Social Impact Questionnaire

Final Group Presentation

For our final presentation click >  Final presentation group field

i think the presentation went well we got everything we wanted to say said for our work we have gotten done through the weeks of collaboration.

Collaborative Outdoor Work

This was our main question for the public to either draw or write about their thing that makes them feel at home. we found a lot of people saw a lot of material possessions like PS4 then some people said family and friends makes them feel at home.

I think this piece was really good. i got to get out of my comfort zone and talk to people who i don’t know which was very nerve racking for me being a very quiet person but i did ask a lot of people for their thoughts. when we  were quiet and there was no one about we found that no one really wanted to do the sticky notes. Then when there were lots of people doing the notes then more people wanted to join in and find out what it was about.

There were a few people who spent a lot of time on this like the lady who did this one for us. she was obviously a very spiritual person and i think she really enjoyed doing this for us.

I’m happy that the amount of people that got involved for our work and I’m glad that it all went well.

As a group we did really well and I’m glad that we got it done on such a good day.

Collaborative Making

For our final piece we decided that we would make some cardboard furniture the same as homeless people do. their whole homes that they make are out of cardboard. i think that we  could of designed them a lot better and spent bait more time making hem better too. but all together we got them made and we got a main question to ask people when they write on the card/sticky notes.

The question was What Makes You Feel At Home?

We literally made all the furniture out of card, glue and tape. made out of 3 large boxes a chair, a table, a person cut out and just a box that was flattened for the background. for peoples drawings and sticky notes.

Idea Generation Game

I was ill for this meeting but got told all about it so im just going to put what i understand that they came out with from the day.

so the idea generation game is where you sit in silence for 5 mins getting your own ideas down with small sketches and words that are relivent to you and the project. Once the 5 mins are over you then talk about what you had and everyone licks ones that they think are relivent and they all look at similaities between everyones. you then end up with a few that are very similar that then get grouped together and then a few things that as a group you decide are the most relivent.

they did want to narrow down the ideas and things but because i wasnt there they didnt want to do it with out me so they settled with their 5 groups.

things came about like molding a small homeless person in clay casting it and creating lots of them to show numbers of the homeless in the uk in areas. but there was a problem with ethics. there were a few things about peoples emotions images of peoples emotions when they saw shocking images. then a few things about public art.

from this i honestly dont know where this project is going and how this was actually meant to help. but im happy to of found out about the work they did while i was ill.
