CREATIVE THINKING CLASS


Creative Thinking is the process we use to reflect on assess and judge the assumption underlying our own and others ideas and efforts.


Components of Critical Thinking include we can identifying and challenging assumptions.Recognizing the importance of context.Imagining and exploring alternatives and also developing reflective skepticism.


From Creative Thinking class,I learn about that the ways we solve the problems can be more,for example,mind mapping and brainstorming can make us find out many creative ways to solve our problems.Creative thinking is the process we use to develop ideas that are unique,useful and worthy of further elaboration.



Breaking the rules is one of the fun and creative i found in this class.This is because i think if all the things we just do follow the rules,it will like just bored and formal.






All rules are made up. Are you living by rules that fit your values? Are you living the life you want or living someone else’s life?

''Conformity is the killer of creativity'' 


Conforming to rules set down by anyone other than yourself, based on your values and what is most important to you is stopping you from living and working on your own terms.Blindly conforming is like getting on the train to mediocrity central.
So, lets us

To sum up,i really being while attend this creative thinking class since there is fun and no so many homework hahaha.




Analogical thinking


Paper fan 









The fan, which is made of thin bamboo strips, thin silks, feathers, leaves of sunflowers, and papers, is a traditional Chinese handicraft used for cooling. Fans, for they can bring people cool, were called "Shelter from the Sun" in ancient China.China is always regarded as the kingdom of fans. In the history, fans made in China were sold to Japan and European and American countries, where Chinese fans exerted certain influences on the local fan-production and palace rites.Fans enjoy a long history of about 3 to 4 thousand years in China. Fans, originally were not used for cool, but for sheltering from the sun and keeping off sands for emperors during their outgoing inspections.Other than cooling in summer, they can act as tools during the artistic performance drama, dance and other folk arts. In the ancient times, dancers liked to hold fans while dancing, and the preference has been handed down until now. The fan dance has become a dancing art with distinctive Chinese characteristics. 


As time goes , there's invention of mechanical fan.

Mechanical Fan











Mechanical Fans are wondrous contraptions which when activated spontaneously "create" wind. No one is quite sure how this is done, and it is a mystery that has baffled scientists for years, but the mechanical fan is a celebrated device worldwide, with the exception of countries which have a consistently cold climate, such as Alaska or Russia.The history of the mechanical fan starts in England, in the Middle Ages. At the time the only way to produce wind at will was very tiresome and awkward. Hand held fans were used at the time, and whilst they could cool people down quite well, the constant waving of the hand caused fatigue in many people, and sometimes even injury. 67% of people who used hand held fans in the middle ages broke or fractured at least one bone in their wrist during this period.


Some more fun here, the combining of paper fan and mechanical fan.





Here's a video for this such fabulous invention

JUXTAPOSITION

 Juxtaposition is a literary technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters and their actions are placed side by side in a narrative or a poem for the purpose of developing comparisons and contrasts.
In literature, juxtaposition is a useful device for writers to portray their characters in great detail to create suspense and achieve a rhetorical effect. It is a human quality to comprehend one thing easily by comparing it to another. Therefore, a writer can make readers sense “goodness” in a particular character by placing him or her side by side to a character that is predominantly “evil”. Consequently, goodness in one character is highlighted by evil in the other character. Juxtaposition in this case is useful in the development of characters.




Here's some examples for juxtaposition.

  • Beauty and ugliness
  • Belief and denial
  • Bigotry and tolerance
  • Calm and chaos
  • Civilization and wilderness
  • Dark and light
  • Despair and hope
  • Fact and fiction
  • Foolish and serious
  • Good and bad
  • Hot and cold
  • Leader and follower
  • Poverty and wealth
  • Success and failure
  • Summer and winter
  • Weakness and strength
  • Young and old








  • Juxtaposition in Art

    From many examples of juxtaposition,I decided to choose ''BITTER N SWEET'' to be my theme.




    Strawberry is sweet in this section

    while dark chocolate stand bitterness.

    I  combining both this bitter and sweet to produces a maximum contrast 
    maybe will be a neutral taste? haha


    This is my final outcomes 

    Sweet strawberry in a dark chocolate shape.



    HOME

    Today i show the progress and process when i'm doing my 2D fundamentals final project call as ''home''.


    Draw out the cartoon house on a thicker paper.


    Then I use colour pencil or marker pen to colour it.


    After that I use a black marker to outline the house to make it more cartoon.


    This is all the material I use to create the background.


    Done colour the background.


    Paste the paper spring bahind the cartoon house to make it more 3D and also tie a black thread at the bottom of the balloon house.


    This is my final outcome of ''Home''.



    The theme of my "home" is to represent what the feeling home give me.A house is made of brick and mortar,but home is made by the people who love you were.A home will give you a relax and comfortable feeling.This is such important the people who live inside,they will always give you caring and love when you get into a scrape.They will never leave.Home is warm,without them,this is no point to call as home.I also used the concept of balloon house bring out the free and freedom feeling while being in home.For the colourful and cartoon house is stand for a lovely and peace of home.Home is always a shelter for all the human.In my project,for some home,there are human being to do something warm call as home for me.For instance,a girl feel free sit on the rooftop and playing with her guitar or someone play with his lovely pet.Although all this only such a small things in our life,but I feel free to do and warm from being in.










    Force connection 1

    The teacher give us this question.




    I choose computer mouse for this section.


    This is my final outcome with so many
    characteristic of computer mouse.

    For a passionate computer mouse,I use passionate to represent passionate since life is full of colour, not just black and white.The LED light inside the mouse case will changes its colour by your hand temperature.

    For creative computer mouse,I straight forward using a cute mouse to represent a mouse,so this is call "mouse mouse",hahaha.


    For a greedy computer mouse,I use a functional mouse to represent greddy in the time.There are extra 3 button beside the mouse which for thumb,and the other finger.The bottom of the mouse is a speaker.The extra function is like button for control the speed of the mouse and volume up and down.

    For a sad computer mouse,I use the bottom as a sad emo face and the mouse inside is full of water.I really don't know how a sad computer mouse look like,so I just do,haha.

    For a hardworking computer mouse,I make it like a car, more extra wheel beside the mouse.It's more easy for user to roll and roll when using it.When roll it like exercising,so the mouse like working and exercising in a time,it's quite hardworking.

    For a brave computer mouse,I make a durian version of computer mouse.A lot of thorn on the surface of the mouse,if you are brave,dare to touch it !

    Analogical thinking

    Exercise: identify 2 product to discover the relationship between object and images.Preferably seeking examples where a modest source has influenced the form of a luxurious target and vice versa.



    Analogical reasoning is any type of thinkingthat relies upon an analogy. An analogicalargument is an explicit representation of a form of analogical reasoning that cites accepted similarities between two systems to support the conclusion that some further similarity exists.

    From the things around me,I found wood and plastic to be my two object and images.
