175 Faces of Chemistry

Sub group 5 is no longer! We are now '175 Faces of Chemistry' as this links to our concept a lot more and helps the tutors single us out when needed.

One of the girls in my goup, Gabriella, came across an interesting Science company that just so happened to be celebrating their 175th anniversary in 2016. Here is the clipping from their website that will give you a better idea about our initial concept.

"In the countdown to the RSC's 175th anniversary, the RSC is celebrating the achievements of 175 diverse chemical scientists. Over the 175 weeks before the RSC's anniversary on 23 February 2016, the RSC will feature 175 different scientists, building a portfolio of inspirational people who represent diversity in its broadest sense."

My group plan to use this as a basic starting point for our project. We have decided to expand on this and begin by collecting 175 images of 175 different peoples faces. We will choose this person at random by either counting to 175, asking the 175th person we see, or walking 175 steps then asking the next person. Once we have a person willing to allow us to use an image of them, we will ask them questions in order to learn more about them, such as 'What are your aspirations?', 'What inspires you?' and 'How would you describe yourself?'.

We will be able to generate more research and work around these questions as we can look into the persons charecter aswell as just simply drawing their features. We also plan to record this process, as unfortunatley our Film and Media studies students have decided not to engage with this project, and have not yet been intouch with our group. However as a group we have all decided that we would still like to film certain aspects of the process as we think it could lead to an interesting outcome and will allow us to challenge our selves as it is something we have not yet done before and after all this is what this project is asking from us.
