~ A Picture A Day

(A2 WoodCarving : Home)

Taking level up on how to be creative is on my 2D work. A work that i put in a lot of effort. What is creative about the design is , my very first time designing something on wood by carving my design out. Sometimes i realize that you can come out with various type of ideas and creativity in a work. Ideas can pop out very easily and i just love to learn and experience new things. A work with creativity gives a good result at the end of the day!

Synesthesia

What is Synesthesia ? Can it be a form of art and music ? Actually it can be anything. Synesthesia is a sense of impression from sense of a body parts to another. Examples like , some may see a number but they visualize more than just a number like changing them into color. Sounds can be smelled instead of being heard , numbers can be heard instead of being seen. Some see colors as taste or flavor. for example, if you see a yellow color it reminds you of a fruit, banana. The disadvantage of having synesthesia is not being able to focus on what really is happening by being distracted with  the different senses and thoughts is telling you. At time, you may feel confuse, unsure and lost as you cannot feel the actually feeling what the normal may perceive and others may find this type of people strange and weird.

Force Connection Pt 2

Moving on with more example and understanding on Force Connection. I get the idea on how to be more creative by trying to visual and imagine things and combining them.

Have you ever think if our brain is made up clock and machine in it. Having two objects combine and to show how time is really precious to our daily life. Every Minute, Second and hour is important. Sometimes in life, we like to waste time and doing nothing but actually the time that you wasted on can be exchange by doing something productive.

(Force Connection : Candle)

(Mr . Brave in armed)

(Mr.Greedy , money that matter the most)

(Mr Sadness and Hardworking)

Force Connection is something new to me , is a way of describing the act of combining 2 different object into something creative. For this exercise, i learnt about adjective and object. I have chosen candles and sketch into different adjectives(feelings) such as Sad, Creative, Hardworking, Brave, Greedy and Passionate. From here i can visual how 2 things combine and express a new message. At the end of the day, it is something interesting and will take note of this values to be part of my leaning progress. 

~ Analogical Thinking Pt 2

(Brainstorming/mind mapping)

On Analogical Thinking part 2 , with various ideas all coming from the brainstorming and mind mapping in creative thinking lesson. Analogical Thinking helps us expand our ideas and try to visual things around us. By visual, we can form into something creative examples like a car having a figure of a face smiling. In order to be creative, we have to positive and be free by sketching out our ideas and share with everybody. To be creative there is no right or wrong. 

~ Trip To Orchard Library

To have a better understanding on Analogical Thinking, we were told to travel to the Orchard Library to apply the understanding and find/ capture images that describe on lifeless object but has the human characteristic.

(Upper level)

(Lower level around the shelves)

Images that i took that looks like a face of a human with lights or lamp there symbolize an eye.The ladder, shelves can symbolize a nose. These were the things that i manage to see and think of. 

~ Analogical Thinking

This week on creative thinking, we were discussing a topic on Analogical thinking. Learning different types of meaning such as Metaphors, Similes and Analogical thinking. Two exercise were give on that day. 

(Exercise 1 Ideas)

For exercise 1 , we have to think of an idea from the environment that demonstrated the practice of analogical thinking. We are to differentiate and bringing in the examples of Analogy, Similes and Metaphors.  

• Analogy: A plastic block can be used and design in a game of Jenga. 

• Simile: I define a man is jogging like a turtle. 

• Metaphors: Her voice is my happiness to my life.

(Exercise 2 Ideas)

For exercise 2, we had to identify 3 existing product to discover relationships to other objects and images. I came out with 3 ideas which is :

• A Bucket and a Glass can be played as a formed of instrument such as mini drum set.

• Putting a light stick into a plastic transparent bottle to give a better effect and glow.

• A cutting cupboard and a strap can make into a phone holder or a bag.
