Creative Studies

To be creative, you have to see things in different way. This class teach me just how to do that and its actually kind of fun. It ease and open up your mind. I cant wait for our next assignment =)

Random quote using a picture of chili and the word love.



You spice up my life with your love. Just like the color of chili, your love remains and never fade. I love you and our love will keep on burning like a red chili.

Anology are divided to two, metaphor and simile. What is anology through metaphor? It means comparison that are not obvious. and what is analogy through simile? It means define something or subject using different word that we still can understand immediately.

I never knew that juxtaposition are used widely. In our work and daily life. Miss Tasya showed us all the juxtaposition that were used in the tv series called "Lost". Here a few juxtaposition in "Lost" by Miss Tasya :

“Lost” Season 1

Success/Failure - In his past, Jack's refusal to give up on Beth in the OR where unsuccessful, but when he refused to give up on Charlie he was successful with CPR. ("All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")

Lucky/Unlucky - Hurley and Walt play backgammon, where Walt is lucky to get the rolls he wanted each time and Hurley is unlucky, getting rolls that caused him to lose. ("All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")

Help/Hindrance - Charlie's bid to save Claire from Ethan ended up hindering the survivors as it prevented them from getting their answers. ("Homecoming")

Anger/Brokenness - In flashback, Locke is shown very angry and hitting his car. The scene switches to Locke in the jungle, kneeling and crying at the Hatch, seemingly broken. This is a juxtaposition of anger and sadness. ("Deus Ex Machina")

Brokeness/Hope - Directly after the moment described above, a light comes on in the Hatch, reinvigorating Locke's hopes and faith in the Island (and his destiny).

Life/Death - Boone dies at the same time Claire gives birth to Aaron, showing a juxtaposition of life and death with a strong contrast between the two. ("Do No Harm")

What is Juxtaposition? From my understanding, juxtaposition is looking at the same thing from two opposite points. For example, like what miss Tasya used, the word order and chaos to an image of a soup and stack of carrot, we can apply both word to each picture and its still acceptable.

What is associated mind map? Basically, its a mind map that we branch out from a logical mind map. Associated mind map help us create new idea.

Mr. Radzi asked us to create something new from associate mind map using mortar and pestle. i used hair as the associated word, and create a hair straightener.

Logical mind map are connected to stereotype. what is stereotype? STEREOTYPE is thinking the the box or in other words typical thinking. The most commons stereotype thinking is about men and women. people who are stereotype will define men as strong and women as weak. However, the fact is we are all the same. we our self define whether we are strong or weak.

Today, we learn about mind map, a creative mind map in fact. Creative mind are divided to two, logical mind map and associated mind map. Here a few example of creative mind map. logical mind map is connected or related to stereotype. Meanwhile, associated mind map generates random words.

What is innovation? Innovation is something that can be innovate, something that can be improve and remodel. Invention is to me, a new outcome.

Being creative is all about thinking the other way. To me sometimes even a simple thing can be great with just a touch of creativity. We can be creative no matter what our profession or direction are. To me even war can be creative, that is why we call the art of war. so here are a few of art piece that i like.

For me, Novelty means a great piece of work. Great work come from great people. And to me, if its great then it must have great quality as well. Here a few great idea and creation that wow me =)

Today we learn the meaning of Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention.

Basically,

NOVELTY is the quality of being new.

CREATIVITY is the generation of new ideas or a new way of doing things.

INNOVATION is the process of making improvements by introducing something new.

INVENTION is taking existing knowledge and create new ideas.

From my point of view, i think being creative its all about being different in all kind of ways. Therefore here's some images that can define different while being creative.

When it comes to creativity, people tend to misjudged it. For example :

1. Only special talented people are creative.
2. Being creative is hard.
3. Problems are in our life to make it more difficult.
4. I am not creative.
5. Innovation is the domain of geniuses.
6. I have to have brand new ideas in order for me to be considered creative.
7. Brainstorming is hard work.
8. Only artists need to be creative.
9. Writer’s block is a greatest obstacle in the creative process.
10. Using structured creative techniques will hinder my ability to be creative.

Today we learn about creativity. the definition and the myth of creativity. From my point of view, being creative is thinking out of box. However, the real definition the ability to think up and design new inventions, produce works of art, solve problems in new ways, or develop an idea based on an original, novel, or unconventional approach.
