The Last Week / makeup class - Overall Thoughts About Creative Thinking Module and Food

My Overeall Thoughts about Creative Thinking Module

This module take a lot of part in helping me brainstorming and thinking of creativity. Beside that, by doing activities, updating blogs, playing games, solving problems, look at other artists' work and making advertisement, those all make me realize there are so many ways of doing a thing, and those all help me thinking faster, challenge me, and i know a lot of things that i don't know before, also it is really something it can apply on my own major in the next term. There are also a lot of changing opinions while presenting our group work where i get to know others' opinion and how their thoughts about it. At the mean time, i also realize it is important to have a creative thinking way as a designer, artist, painter, photographer, and many other art majoring peer. Because for me, it is important to have plenty of creativitity in the creation, instead of repeating or copying other existing work, it is a must to own a new creation as an artist. And also it is what every artist must have in thierselves to be called as an artist. Overall, this is and interesting module to have as an foundation and a very fun and supportive module as well.

COMBINATION of FOOD

For this last meeting of our module, our lecturer want us to create 2 combination of food from a list of food. We start by wroting down the list and do some mind mapping together as this is a group work. And this is the result:

After that, we decided to chose 2 of our mind mapping idea, which is Chilli Gelato and Bacon-Wrapped Fries. and we draw it like this:

My Reflection:

This activity is exciting where we think to mix 2 things so i could be pretty attractive for people to buy and feel anxious to try. This activity also requires understanding of each other as a team and come out by a long consideration of every member of team. The look itself must be as attractive as well to persuade a purchase.  

Week 10 - Emotion and Force Connection

Fotce Connection

There are always an art created from different thing put together. But what if the two different thing was impossible to be putted together, due to their own fundamental that could ruin the creation of art itself? Here we do some researches.. 

My Reflection: Personally, i think this is part of Creativity, it is not easy to create an art that includes different fundamental combine into one. Just the opposite of an unplesant creation, it was an adorable creation which is rich of creativity. It is an art that makes people think about the possibility of the art itself.

CLOCK EMOTION

We are told to make 6 different emotion of a thing, which is: Passionate, Sad, Brave, Creative, Greedy, Har-working.

And this is it:

My Reflection : it is quite fun making emo myself and it is exciting to see on friends work. Different idea makes our imagination running faster than usual. 

Week 9 - SELF PORTRAIT & Coca Cola Advertising Idea

Self Portrait 

This self portrait doesn't have to be a portrait of ourselves but it is optional what to draw. As long as it describes our personality. For example, like what we love to do, our hobbies, what we likes, what we want people to know about ourselves.

And this come out as my Self Portrait..

MY Reflection: At first, i thought to just draw a fashion illustration because i am major in fashion studies. But after a while i thought that this portrait must able to describe about myself, since it is my selft portrait. So i decided to draw everything i like. It is fashion illustration, human face illustration, flower, and heels. I love doing fashion, drawing human figure and portrait, i love to see various kind of flowers, and i love collecting different kind of shoes. I think this is quite fun because we try to make people who see the portrait would know and guess what kind of person we are. The reason i draw it in black and white instead of using colour is because i like sketching so much and my favourite colour is black and white.

COCA COLA Advertising Idea

We are told to create 'Ad' for Coca Cola company about it's new product 'O2 Coke' in a team.

So we start by a group discussion about the Personal Analogy, which consider as the main reason why we deal with the project. This Personal Analogy includes :

1. Basic Characteristics of O2,

2. Emotion that O2 might have,

3. How someone feels when consuming O2, and,

4. Target Audience

And we come come as this conclusion:

1. Basic Characteristic of O2:
a. colourless  b. tasteless  c. odorless  d. gas  e. element  f. refresh  g. light  e. everywhere

2. Emotion that O2 might have:
a. proud  b. wanted  c. important  d. free  e. helpful  f. useful  g. necessary

3. How someone feels when consuming O2:
.a relief  b. alive  c. safe  d. calm  e. refreshing

4. Target Audience:
a. young adults  b. 15-30 age  c. teenages  d. all genders

After this we try to think about the Ad design, and we make it like this:

LINK TO GROUPMATES: MINOLI, GWENDOLYN, AFIQAH

My Reflection :  Our Ad is about how nowadays polution affected young people. And so by consuming O2 Coke fome Cocacola people no longer need to struggle for just breathing freash air. Our tagline is " Dare to breathe fresirh air?", this is because we try to challenge who usually breathe dirty and unhealthy polution to begin a brand new healthy day. This group work is interesting and very challenging. We are challenge to create an Ad with many many ideas come up and it is hard to eliminate each other idea. But stil everyone wants the best for our project.

Week 8 - PAREIDOLIA

Our teacher told us about Pareidolia where people see things that might not be that things in real. Like it was not the thing we taught it was on just a certain sight we are seeing at. This is more like our brain telling us it looks like something and our eyes believe that iw was the thing.

So this is some of the picture that we hunt around NAFA to find out about Pareidolia:

My reflection: although it was difficult to find around Nafa but it did really exist. i think that this is a very realistic and it was important for everybody to understand this theory. i personally agree that this is something that everybody naturally have it since born and this is quite interesting to explore. and it might bines to art.

JULIE BURSTEIN - 4 lesson in Creativity

My reflection after watching the video :

Julie was sharing 4 lesson about how to create in face of challenge, sleft-doubt, and loss. At the mean time she was also talking about how to let go at the first time and try to strive and control the obtacles and survive at the end. crativity comes from experience and challenge and limitation itself. in order to creat we have to stand between what we see in the world and what we hope for. Remember "you can hold that tension like a violin strain and make something beautiful" it mean we must endure the tense and find way to change it to something better. 

Week 7 - How To Make NAFA Looks More Attractive

For who said nafa does not looks attractive, here some solution from our team group about how to make NAFA more attractive:

1. Displaying student work in more interesting and prominent manner, for example allowing the public to write feedback of the work displayed.

2. Large LCD that may display works and performance of student.

3. Certain classroom to be made of anti-glare glasses.

4. Bus exclusively for NAFA student and staff.

5. Optical illusion paintings / street art by student.

6. Min lobby with high ceiling for more attractive first impression.

7. Roof top garden or green house.

8. Nafa student wear attractive uniform

9. nafa lift is outdoor

This might works to make our NAFA more attractive, thanks for concerning..
Solving the chicken problem in class with group:

The problem:
there is a hole in your fence what makes you neighbor's chickens get through the fence and destroy the flower in your garden. What should you do so the chicken would not enter you house anymore without rebuing your neighbor?

here come the solution that we have discussed together:
1. fix the fence
2. move the garden
3. make a sprinkle in the garden
4. build a pond around the garden
5. hired people to kill the chicken 
6. hired people to guard the garden
7. hired people to steal the chicken
8. held a campaign to banned chicken destroying garden
9. set fire near the fence
10. set barbed fence 
11. feed the chicken somewhere else
12. plant trees instead of flowers
13. just move your house
14. sent anonymous letter about the annoying chicken to yoyr neighbor
15. sent anonymous person to tell your neighbor
16. give an anonymous call to your neighbor
17. hung a dead chicken as a warning
18. steal the chicken when the neighbor is not at home
19. poison the chicken when the neighbor is not at home
20. set stun wire on the ground near the fence 

My personal reflection about this activities is that this game really interesting and make us think more harder about how to solve problems. Also to distinguish which way of solving is reasonable and which is not. This also make us more solid as a team to think about how to get many many more ways to solve the problem. 

Marshmallow challenge

This challenge is to make a tallest tower with 20 spaghetti and a marshmallow  pinned on the top of the tower. To win, we must have the tower stand steady, must be the tallest one of all, and must finish in time.

And delightedly, our group won the challenge because our tower stand steady without sticking it to any base, finished in time, and were the tallest before the another tallest one finished over time. But it suddenly collapsed after a few minutes. But still we are so happy to accomplished the challenge. And this is hoe it looks like:

My reflection: This game is really challenging, we really fell excited to win that we ever draw a draft before building, and we struggle most on how to build a strong base. We also struggle on the tape because it was not sticky enough to use. But overall it was really fun and interesting and we feel really creative after finishing the game and also we fell that the atmosphere while competing each other is really tense. 

Week 6 - Artist Who Have Broken the Rules

1. Marc Quinn
He used his own blood to create frozen sculptures of his face..

2. Unarrom
tasty breads from "BODY BAKERY"

3. Wieki Somers

Sculpture from human ashes..

Some ask..Are the used of human body ethically acceptable in art? I ask..Are there anything else can be used instead of human body? Didn't it feel so tragic to do such a thing to create an outlandish art? is it worth taking?

For who said nafa does not looks attractive, here some solution from our team group about how to make NAFA more attractive:

1. Displaying student work in more interesting and prominent manner, for example allowing the public to write feedback of the work displayed.
