Task 2 - DAP Scoring Task

Hi, Alex - here are my scores.

The Water Fountain
Water spring up to me,
It shot right up-up away,
It stuck my face then my nose,
Water shot into my eyes and my ear too,
For a moment in my happiness,
I can't see and i can't hear,

Weeeee the water squirted east and west,
It spring to the north and south,
Oh come on friends join me and feel,
How wonderful I felt here,
In this hot-hot Sunny Day.

Feedback from Alex

How do we put forward what is the intention purposes?

How do we create documents or forms to support or cover ourselves when we applied to go into the classroom setting?

How we come out with a standardised instruction for us to give to the participants?

After that, if we are collecting the drawing, do we plan to give any opportunity for the child to make any statement if the child wishes to – in associate with his/her drawing – or our interest is only to collect the drawing and nothing else.
Setting – where we get the drawing does not matter, as long as it is done correctly and ethically. This will be a ALS learning community project.

After that we will be teach how to assess cognitive, how to assess emotionally from these drawings as a follow up learning exercise. It will be like in our pairing interview, on our human figure drawing, so in getting the experience of projection. Getting into how to ask the relevant questions, so that ppl can project into the figure that was drawn, this is one of the methods. Then how we use in conducting a proper protocol using DAP where we have a standard protocol to follow, the best you can, showing the feet then the head.

Later on we will be teach how to use inventory to check this, for the intelligent, to pick up potential anxiety and emotional problem from that figure drawing, which will be come later. Next time in figure drawing by looking at the figure, you can work out the development age of the person which was well established as a testing tool and also from the same figure drawing you are able to pick up potential emotional issues. Getting you planning, what go thru you mind, how you address the ethical issue, professional issue, distinction like the learning and research what are the things clinical issue, what is protocol issue. You are able to know the sensitive issues, to work in the protocol correctly.

We can’t cover every varies, we should go for basic. Go for age, gender, clinical setting, diagnosis in learning disability. Stick to 3-11. It does not matter; the more we get the better, go towards the developmental line – 3-5 (nursery and kindergarten ) like in the Indiana setting.

It is okay, if we approach a known client, it would not be biased, as long as we can accumulate the data altogether. Can approach the BOLD, but make our task easier don’t too hard.

When it all these make sense to all, then Alex will introduce:
• If you have give the instruction in draw a figure, but the person only draw the feet then head only, what does that means?
• How do I go about the systematic way to observe for indicators into human figures drawing?
• What is it about him to draw in all different colours, (Ding – all different kind of emotion, Alex- emotion for what? Ding – expression? Alex – expression meaning what – anxious, tensed, anger?
• Like the tree – what about the tree, what you notice about the tree, what are there, what is it a normal tree, 6 years old what compare to other, what about the tree, there is no leaf.
• In the pic, of the sharks with teeth – what does it means? Means – aggression. There is a lot of potential progression – depress aggression.
• How do I look at this pic?

Online collaboration on 30 August

Shirley sent her apology, due to some unforseen circumstances.

We started to go through the 'Letter to participants' which was drafted by me. Then we went into the 'Proposal' which was drafted by X10 and also half way through she guided us into the demographic document, we changed some items in there.

Mary - did asked us whether the study will it be done in one venue or many other venue, if so then the result will be biased. (So after X10 have the chance to talk to Alex, he mentioned that to treat this as a learning and not a study)

Hooosh, relieved because I know if this is a study we are not that professional enough to go through with this as we are not psychologist or counsellor except X10, Mary and Phaik Nie, not sure of the rest.

But if it is a study - well it will be another learning process to conquer.

As per this moment, we are waiting for Phaik Nie to amend some points, then she will be sending to Alex for approval.

(This part of boots belonged to my aerobic instructor's daughter, it kept on bugging me whenever I crossed the shoe rack. Last Friday, I could not stop myself, I captured the picture).

I loved my Red Hot boots,
When the light shine on it,
I see 'twinkle-twinkle little stars'
The red colour brings brightness throughtout my day,
The toughness provides me with comfort and safety too,
That is my Red Hot boots.

My journey through Scriblink on 23 August 2010

I began with:---

. 3 circles (magenta)
. flowers' stalk (light brown)
. leaves on the stalk (light green)
. 2 red flowers
. 2 yellow flowers
. 1 light blue flower
. 2 orang/red flowers
. 1st butterfly (outline purple with yellow inside)
. tried to draw 2nd butterfly orange but it turned out to become a flower instead.
. 2nd blue butterfly (but later erased by someone)
. 3rd red butterfly
. 2 blue birds (erased by someone later)
. 1 black bird
. 3 brown bouses with windows and doors (but someone cover them with a big brown mountain)
. Text below the houses bearing "Home Sweet Home", (later cover by someone with grasses)

My reflection:
At the begining, after watched everyone have and set on their space, I chosen mine at the bottom so as not to invade my members sapce. Hmmmm. what to draw, I use circle and in magenta, I put 3 circles facing upright. Since I loved flowers, why not made some flowers grew from them. I drawn stems/stalks then put some leaves on them. Flowers followed, I did not use only 1 colour but various colours - red, yellow, light blue, and the last 1 orange which was supposed to be a butterfly.

Since I have flowers, there must be butterflies - so followed by 3 butterflies but 1 got erased. After that, I looked up the whole picture, found that there are some empty space on the left hand corner, hmmm... may be I put some birds - resulted 2 blue birds - on the right hand corner - there was a little small space, I put a black bird.

At the middle right, there was some empty space - I was wondering if I can draw some house there and I did drawn 3 houses with windows and doors (but later were covered by a big mountain, oh no....) At the bottom of these houses, I wrote 'Home Sweet Home" (fully grown grasses covered it up later).

After seeing that, I decided to leave.

My last phrase -

THE CHANGING OF ENVIRONMENT AND LIFE.

I am a little buzy honeybee
Yellow and black is my coat
See me gather
Hear me buzz
Flower to Flower I will go
Bring back honey to my Mighty Queen
To make you sweet Honey that you Love.
