Week 7

Week 7 : Class Activity

We were told to draw a scary version of cat . Usually when people think of cat's first word that came in their mind is "ADORABLE","CUTE" etc.

What about we give them another word for it which is "SCARY".

So, i try to draw a version of a cat that is like a combination of a gargoyle and a cat.

Imagine if my version of cat wandering and flying around the neighborhood or even the alley.Jeez, it would make people scream run away like hussain bolt in instant.

During this week, we having a fun class activity and at the same time learn and understand the meaning of Juxtaposition.

Basically, most of us can define Juxtaposition by combining a another line of word or anything, get them together to generate an ideas, or even develop and for our visualization towards approaching something new.

Well, this week fun activity was about positioning a word that was different meaning put them together in a paper. Then there are steps we must follow and it actually a step to develop those words into another creative dimension by visualizing the 2 words chosen.

class activity Juxtaposition sketch

We were asked to choose two digit numbers and matched two digit numbers with two words from the column below:

1 flower 0 Head

2 lighting 9 Rain

3 ice 8 Wood

4 light 7 Tree

5 fire 6 Spider

6 duck 5 root

7 dog 4 Mountain

8 oil 3 Wind

9 leave 2 Rock

0 fly 1 Water

Step 1

3 pair of number must be chosen from (00-99)

My chosen number was "10","24"and"30".So the number represent:-

• 10- flower, head
• 24- lighting ,mountain
• 30- ice ,head

Step 2

Then we were asked to make a sentence of each chosen words and visualize in a piece of paper.

these are the sentence using the 2 random words:

10: The flower was given by the head boss of the department .

24: The lighting can be seen clearly when we are on top of the mountain.

30: The ice fall on top of his head.

Step 3

Create a new word by combining those two word together.

like shown on the sketch image above

flowerhead

lightingmountain

icehead

Step 4

After Combining those words, we have to create and illustrate the image of "flowerhead","lightingmountain" and " icehead"

like shown on the sketch image above

Finally, it's done.

This is one fun exercise to make our mind to think outside the box with those word. Everything is all just about visualize and think outside the box to get our ideas came to life .

Week 5

Mind map + Mortar and Pestle

During this lecture session, our main focus is on mind mapping towards a problem solving and generate ideas through mind map. A mind map is one of the best solution toward having it as our own problem solving partner .A beautiful constructed mind map is just simple,well detailed and it will keep keep us focus as your creativity ideas keep coming .

Class activity

During class we have a really fun activity,Which is creating a mind map for "Mortar and Pestle for It's usage in the future".

I was told to imagine how people in the future will use mortar and pestle for their own personal usage and how the role of mortar and pestle have been change in the future

I choose to take noise and hair ( how people in the future will apply it's usage towards noise and hair)

NOISE: "MORTAR AND PESTLE AS A NOISE CANCELATION DEVICE"

It will remove noise by put the mortar on a high decibel noisy things, the pestle will capture the noise and apply a wave cancellation towards the noise so that the noise will turn mute.

HAIR: " AS A HAIR DESTROYER"

In the future of the prison world, mortar & pestle will be used as part of the punishment towards inmate who conduct a heavy crime like selling counterfeit beauty product. The mortar will be put on top of their head like a velcro mortar that just capture the hair and the pestle will be use to smash the mortar and as a result, it will destroy and remove their hair and will never grow back forever.

WEEK 4 -Convergent & Divergent Thinking

Convergent

Thinking that brings together information focussed on solving a problem (especially solving problems that have a single correct solution)

Divergent

Thinking that moves away in diverging directions so as to involve a variety of aspects and which sometimes lead to novel ideas and solutions; associated with creativity

Mind map

It is a diagram used to represent words, ideas,tasks, or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize. structure and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.

ASSOCIATED MIND MAP

LOGICAL MINDMAP

This week lecture session, it is all about brainstorming. Brainstorming is all part of the

introduction to get our work done. It is a important leading basis to keep our creativity in a

stronger form of structure. Keep on generate ideas till the end so that we could ended up

with a awesome ideas.An ideas that would made an impact and achievement for ourself.

Week 3 – Novelty, Innovation, Invention and Creativity

NOVELTY

In the dictionary the definition of novelty is the quality of being new and fresh and interesting.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/novelty

Novelty of a Clock +Pen/Memo holder

"image shown above is a form of novelty which created base on a clock,redesign to make it new and interesting.The creator diversify it's usage and needs as a the clock can be use to hold the pen and memo for a work desk"

In my point of view

Something new, fresh and interesting is important and will always be part of the human cycle. Everyday, there will be always be something new being invented or made by human.Some made an impact or a cultural revolution and some invention failed. Still, they keep on invent and keep on creating something new and fresh to contribute and make thing's easier for another human. They can improve their own skills prior from learning their past mistakes to make a change and something new.

INNOVATION

http://www.thinkforachange.com/Continuous%20Innovation%20Loop.jpg

Process by which an idea or invention is translated into a good or service for which people will pay. To be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an economical costand must satisfy a specific need. Innovation involves deliberate application of information, imagination, andinitiative in deriving greater or different value fromresources, and encompasses all processes by which new ideas are generated and converted into useful products. Inbusiness, innovation results often from the application of a scientific or technical idea in decreasing the gap between theneeds or expectations of the customers and theperformance of a firm's products. In a social context, innovation is equally important in devising new collaborativemethods such as alliance creation, joint venturing, flexible working hours, and in creating buyers' purchasing powerthrough methods such as hire purchase.

INVENTION

An invention may be derived from a pre-existing model or idea, or it could be independently conceived in which case it may be a radical breakthrough. In addition, there is cultural invention, which is an innovative set of useful social behaviors adopted by people and passed on to others.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention

Windsheild wiper system that has been used on most automobile invented by

Robert Kearns"

In my point of view

when it comes to invention, the inventor created something with their own inter personal knowledge and imagination either it is for the greater good of the human being like "Windshield Wiper system invented by Robert Kearns" or even an invention created for the destruction of human being like the "Gas Chamber created by the Nazi Germany invented for mass killing" . And for the process of improvement of invention, innovation are part of the extension of the inventing process.

"THE INVENTION FOR THE GREATER GOOD"

ROBERT KEARNS THE INVENTOR OF THE INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM USED ON MOST AUTOMOBILES FROM 1969 TILL PRESENT

"ONE FORM OF THE INVENTION FOR DESTRUCTION OF THE OTHER'S"

" THE GAS CHAMBER AT THE AUSCHWITZ HOLOCAUST CAMP "

Week 2 "Defining Creativity"

Defining creativity

Creativity? it's kind of one of the famous word.We will hear this word continuously repeated in our life. There are lot of people who came up to me at a workplace, during class or even brainstorming session for a group assignment and keep on saying "be creative guys"," keep the creativity coming" etc. Well the worst part is sometimes it's hard to get the creativity coming to you. because why?

here it is:

Creativity have a lot of different meaning and definition to different people in a lot of ways.People get their own creativity in their own way sometime it keep came in fast like a lighting bolt and for some their own creativity arrive and drive in their head like a 10 year old V6 engines. "Creativity need times to get in our head". The phrase "think outside the box" means it is really important to think differently even though the imagining or thinking part sometime came out little bit weird and eccentric but as we think positively, it's really do could be adapted in a realistic world.

Owh yeah, for some people who cant keep on coming with a creative ideas i would say that it is just hard for them to climb out of the box. they have to deal with their own trans personal process .and it take time for some people.

I would define creativity is :

"A new mode and a form of different ideas and a pop up thinking that come in instant. But when it came in, it will create a new impact to a single person or even the entire universe."

I do some research through the internet about defining creativity:

But what i found is, it is just another creative writing of a other creative people defining or translate creativity in their own word and definition. Overall i really do understand what it meant by "Defining Creativity".

You just don't need these people to help you define creativity, you yourself can just do it yourself by Taking charge of creativity.

THIS IS A VIDEO OF "WHAT CAN CREATIVITY DO"
