Juxtaposition

Today we learn about juxtaposition. To put into my understanding, juxtaposition means two or more things put into together and creating another meaning.

So we were ask to pick three numbers of our liking, between 0 and 99. Here are the list of the ten words that was given inside class: 

                                         Credit to Luqman for the picture above

So the number that i have chosen was 26, 27, 71 and the result are....wait for it...

1. Lightning and Spider
2. Lightning and Tree
3. Dog and Water

which none of the above makes any sense but were learning juxtaposition so it's supposed to be like that ( i think). Next, we have to make sentences of the chosen words, like mine was;

1. The lightning scared off the spider
2. The lightning strikes at the tree
3. The dog pee in the water ( Teehee!)

Then we have to draw them out....that's my favorite thing to do!

Furthermore, we have to actually combine them together, like they were made for each other or fuse together;

1.Lightning Spider

2. Lightning Tree

3. Dog Water

Oh wow none of the above seems to make any sense, at all. Never mind i rest my case.

On to the next one, where are supposed to write a passage about love, man and women, happiness, and pain;

1. Love

Love is like the flow of our blood, it will keep circulating inside of you with feelings that are indescribable but unlike blood it keeps flowing till the last breath of humanity, love doesn't.

2. Man and Women

If he was tease and criticize by others because of differences , may he truly believe they are the one with problems, not him.

3. Happiness

Happiness is like an expiring date. It could last for a long time or it can be thrown out in the trash in mere days. Treasure them while it last.

4. Pain

Pain is like a glass, you can always fix it whenever it is broken but you can never assemble the shards that have broken into pieces.

My Own Mind Map

Here you go my mind map which is not that fantastic, amazing, pretty, but i think my life is kind of awesome.
It really is.
Brilliant!

My very big ( it's small) mind map about myself, i would have write more but due to limited space this is all i can write.

Every Success, There is Disasters

So today i read some news about my favorite place to be, which is the place where the sun rises.
It's Japan, of course but i'm in Malaysia and that's another story....so going on with the topic.

This are the articles:

> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20400239 


this article is about how inventions sometimes are brilliant and
can be market but there is always problems that lies ahead.

First of all, when we invent something, it is always something to satisfy 
the customer by creating something they desire. We as the inventors will fulfilled they're 
wishes.

But..our inventions are sometimes backfired such as the invention isn't selling, it's too expensive, easily get tired with it, and etc.

Basically, the main thing that i learn after reading this article is that innovations are good but sometimes is just cannot be help if the ideas aren't acceptable and the invention may end up a failure but we would always have the spirit and the will to keep on trying to improve.

Mind Maps, Mortar and Pestles

So today we will be talking about mind maps.

What is a mind map? what does it do? where does it come from? who's the inventor?
Want to know the answer, well you will in a minute.

Mind maps are basically a diagram or a drawing of a subject which you break down their information into tiny little information such as ideas,concepts and words in a multiple sections which we called branches, so it is understandable by peoples. Mind maps are always best to generate, structure, visualize ideas and they really help in studies, solving problems, organizing information and making up decisions.

Here some examples,

mind map example use in our daily life

For today's exercise, we were given by Mr Radzi a slide with a mortar and pestle in it. We were asked to a mind map about the uses of mortar and pestle in the most creative ways, well all of us had so many ideas that may relate to this two items, perhaps.
Here is three ideas that i chose with a not that nice illustration by yours truly....me!

1. Tea

This is how we made tea.....maybe

2. Sword and Shield

Long long ago, a knight uses the mortar and pestle to slay the dragon ( actually is the lizard or a gecko).

It seems logic, it really is.

3. S.O.S

It is use to when individuals are in need of help, we will whack the mortar with the pestle to warn the anyone within our surroundings that we are in danger or...hungry because no one feeds us the whole day, really.

Is Brilliant isn't it!

Orphism or Orphic Cubism

Do you know what Orphism is?

If your answer is "No" then you will know about it in a minute!

and if your is "Yes" then the answer it's the same as above.

Fool ya? 

Okay back to topic.

The history of art have been developing throughout the years and i will be covering Orphism as the main topic for today. How exciting!

Orphism is a like brother of Cubism but from another mother, of course. Their almost the same but Orphism is more focused on the abstraction and their bright colors. They are more concerned with it's expression, movement, dose of sensation. Orphism only dispense with recognizable subject matter, relies on the form and color to bring out the meaning of the drawing.

Robert Delaunay, Simultaneous Windows in the City, 1912

Hamburger Kunsthalle 

The movement was aimed to have infinitude of interrelated states of being. The Cubist is uses form and dynamics and the Orphist uses the same but with colors too. The Orphic metaphor represented the artist's power to create new structure's and color harmonies, to put it into a innovative creativity process that will combine them to form a sensuous experience.

What traits make them creative?

Orphism does not need to be in a full form like Cubism. They are more to their pure abstraction and their sensation of colors as well. They're using colors to reflects the expressions and emotions that is inside them, the movement of the drawing states of the being and when this two combine with each other it will bring out a sensuousness meaning.

What environmental condition existed?

In 1912, Orphism was perceived from Cubism to Abstract Art. How exciting!! and it was relaunched  with the use of color  and back then the term of Orphism was elusive when it first appears and it remains to some extent.

   

What was the process of creativity?

Personally, i think Robert Delaunay and his gang wanted to do more than just doing concrete Cubism. I mean like breaking it down and reassembling it, that's kinda boring if you keep doing it everyday. So, they decide to make it more abstract and put more color on it, so that it brings out a deeper meaning from it. Even after 1913 Robert Delaunay still keeps on painting eventhough is not literally Oprhism but it stilll remains in our history of art.

Nurture the future creativity

The future inventions are upgrading in the speed of light! At first you will just look away when they were still in their old version and when you accidentally turned back, they'll be in a state of awesomeness and you'll be amazed by them.

                 Yeah...i know.. be amazed women,be amazed! of the future inventions!

Well people said we can't predict the future........well they will in a minute! Okay..i'm just trying to be funny, back to topic. Nowadays, everything that's surrounding us are all mobiles, don't believe me? for example, try walking around KL and you'll be seeing everything and i mean everything! everyone is using smartphones, wireless, online delivery and many more.

This is proving that human kind are accelerating and growing in their creativity on innovation and there is nothing that will stop them, unless there's a huge typhoon hit us which will never happens.....probably..well back to the story!

Innovations and inventions are the greatest gift for the humans. Humans can be greedy when it comes to inventions and innovations too. Now that were  growing more and looking forward for the future, people intent to invent more futuristic things.


What kind of environment, situation etc., would make you become a creative/inventive/innovative person?

It would be a place where you can adapt with the surroundings probably somewhere like the land of the rising sun, which is my favorite place that i'm supposed to be! but still stuck in Malaysia. To me Japan will be the best place to be more creative with your innovation because Japanese people are very hardworking with their works and always think ahead and their inventions are always so unique and impressive. They always have new ideas for their inventions everyday, no wonder their called the leading nations of many things.

Some example of their inventions,

                                    It's kinda scary looking but it's awesome too

                                                   This will totally look weird

                  This one my favorite! Cat ears for humans! aren't they adorable.

So if you want your future generations to be creative, raise them up in Japan or how a Japanese raise their children!
