Reflection for the week 11

It was peer assignment again. This time, my peers rate me with satisfying scores. They commented that I have improve from last time. However, I am still not satisfy with my results. Nathania rated me proficient in all categories. She gave me feedbacks such as fonts very hard to read; could consider to change the fonts and reflection can add more words and put in more pictures. I think I did not do my best. I also gave myself feedback after Nathania gave me hers. I noted that I need to change the fonts that could easily to read and of course, put in more pictures to make my blog more lively. Once again, this peer assignment made me understand my faults and change it. I wish that my readers will enjoy my blog as much as I am for my project. Finally this week is the last week of creative thinking class i will miss writing blog, but in future i will continue write more blog. I gave Lydia a score similar to what Nathania gave me. Lydia did well too and she also makes improvement to her blog. In conclusion, i like peer assignment. It gives me an idea on what to improve on for my blog.

Reflection for the week 10

Reflection for the week 10, we had been distributed into 2 people in a group. I was with lydia in the group of 2. The lecture gave us an activity for the class. We needed to think about the Creative, Hardworking, Brave, Greedy, Sad and Passionate clock, she told our class to illustrate them out. I think my group creative clock is the most interesting, we draw the hands of clock with pencil and eraser because we think that when the pencil mark out the time and eraser the time at the same time, it just like the time will pass and the moment will just pass by. Therefore, we should love and cherish the time with our family and friends in experience every moment in our life without a regret. For next assignment that our lecture give us, we need to make 3 stories with the words given in Magnetic Poetry Kit, i think it is not easy because the words they given to us is limited so we can't write the things that we want easily. Through this activity, i find that i can create story with the words given but is is fun because i can create my story freely and creatively with my thinking. This activities train me to be more creative and because when i am thinking, i will think in a different way to find the answer.

She is my universe, she is my dream. If compare with you, her song live like your music, but our love which bloom like a flower.

Life is gentle, wild forest feels like soft nature, brown trunk is like a thick stone, blue warm breeze to be cold, green grass always rustle, who would follow our intuition and live happy.

We moan after death. I recall a gorgeous goddess played and pant, she drools like sweet honey. She sleeps singing spring music, symphony rose as I dream. With me, you cry as smooth sky rains.

Reflection for the week 8

Reflection on week 8 in school we did group presentation for chicken and the bee case. All the our group did the chicken and the bee presentation. It has different interesting ideas and some illustrations. For our group, we research chicken case. First, the creative ideas of my group are building a pool because chicken can't swimming and will fall into the pool. Secondly, we can buy a zombie statue to scare the chicken and put into the hole. Our group have interesting idea which is killing another chicken in front of the neighbour's chickens. The next one is the bee case, our group research from internet why bee go to whiteboard flower and not to the real flower. One of the interesting idea from my group is the bee wants to find honey inside the painting. We should also improve our ways of presenting so that the audiences can understand what we are presenting. We need to write our own ideas on the whiteboard which is an app called twiddla and write why should we ask question, and how to ask question? (Why should we ask question 1:We need to clarify our thoughts. 2:We need to know the more details. 3: I want to learn more new things. 4: I am interest in the topic. 5: We need to know is right or wrong.) ( How to ask questions 1: raise up hands 2: walk towards the lecturer and ask 3:ask through the comment section in blog 4:Ask parents. 5: Have a survey with the experienced people or public.)

Lateral thinking in your everyday life

In the past, we have horses to bring humans from one place to another place. It was difficult to control the horses hence it was a nuisance for the inconvenience caused. Fortunately, we have modern cars such as fuel cars to save the trouble of traffic jams. However, unexpectedly we have used up a lot of natural resources which using horses do not need.

Not only that, last time, they used cycling to power an airplane. It was exhausting. Now, the airplane are programmed to fly. The programming is using computer and all the pilot have to do is to press the button to start. In the future, we might be riding a solar plane as technology is advancing at a quick rate. 

Even the common appliances we use also improve. Example: fan. Can you imagine that previous generations use hand to fan. Now, we uses electrical energy to power the fan. We can control the speed, more wind.
In conclusion, technology has improved for the better. We can have a better live and more health care services. We enjoyed the technology. No one will leave their phones at home when they shop. They can use their phone to check the groceries. They play the phone games when going home. Phone is importantly to their lives. It has impacted deeply in their lives.

Reflection for the week 7

3/9/2015, the topic given to our group was thinking out of the box. This topic was hard for me. Think out of the box, this means more creativity. We thought and planned for the topic for the entire day. We were totally focussed on this topic. Our lecturer showed us some slides and gave us instructions to follow. For example, if one day neighbour's rooster were to escape to my house, what should I do to chased the rooster out of my house? I have to illustrate the scene of the rooster being chased out. Another topic was bee. Why did the bee flew to the flower drawn on the whiteboard and not the real flower? Lateral thinking is thinking outside the box. Crow is smarter than us. Crow uses stones to achieve the water. The amount of water was minimal but the crow was desperately needed that water. It challenge its thinking process and succeeded in drinking that water. I did not enjoyed the drawing the dot. We really have to rack our brains to draw 4 straight lines and we are not allowed to lift our hands up. We started from 4 lines, to 3 lines, and lastly, 1 line. We rearranged the golfballs. It is not an easy process.

Who was the artist who painted the Pipe Painting?

The artist for the pipe printing is René François Ghislain Magritte. He is good in provoking other people's thought of his painting. This painting was paint on 1928-29. 
It is interesting because: 
-It is the famous pipe. This is what René said: How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it's just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture 'This is a pipe', I'd have been lying!"
-His statement is taken to mean that the painting itself is not a pipe. The painting is merely an image of a pipe. Hence, the description, "this is not a pipe." The theme of pipes with the text "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" is extended in his 1966 painting, Les Deux Mystères. It is currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

In other words, 

-For example, I have a solid pen with me. I can feel the texture which is rough and hard.

-However, when I draw it on a paper, I can only feel the texture of the paper not the solid pen. The texture   of the paper is smooth and easily to be crushed unlike the solid pen rough and hard.

Hence, when I drew it on the paper, the image I have drawn is a REPRESENTATION of the pen. 

In conclusion, what you have seen is not a pen because I am still holding the solid pen to finish the final touches of the image, like René said this is not a pipe, it is merely an image of a pipe.

Socratic Questioning

A socratic questioning has no right or wrong answers. A socratic questioning is the questioning of our actions. This means that we need to reflect ourselves to improve for the better. We cannot always assume that what we are doing is always right and beneficial to others. The actions may even hurt our love ones.
We should always question ourselves whether are we doing the right action or the not suppose to do  action. Sometimes, it may be accepted by majority but there will the minority who does not accept the action.
Hence, let's question ourselves!
For example, you have seen someone stolen a pencil case from a book store and you did not report on him. Is it the time to socratic question yourself? Is it the right action to stole a pencil case? Have the person asked the permission or is the pencil case rightfully his? What I should have done?
Above are the questions to ask ourselves whether we are doing the right action. Hence, to the majority, we should have report and the person who stole the pencil case will also reflect on his actions. We should also think further whether we should help this person to change his thinking of stealing the item is right or wrong. After which, we improve ourselves and this will benefits others too.
