My Reflection for the 1 week

My first day with my class was exciting. I am not familiar with my classmates which my lecturer want us to bond. She put us in a group of three. I was anticipating who are my group mates. My group mates are Rizal, Lydia and Nathania . I felt awkward with my group mates as this bonding session was a sudden request from my lecturer, she gave us assignment to know your group mates and tell us to write a story of us. This assignment is due on 29 July 2015 at 1800 hours. She has another assignment for us which is to research for creative and play. It is for our group work. Not only that, an hour journey back home. It was tedious and exhausting. This journey of walking home gave me this unique experience. I realised that going to school with public transport is easy but walking back home is harder. I have to know the signs directing me back home. Without the signs, I will not know my way. Being a designer, I must know my surrounding so that I will have inspiration to my products.By having four senses used for the returning trip back home, I know that these senses are important and beneficial to me.

PLAY & CREATIVITY ?

Play and Creativity ? Do you think it has a strong relationship? Do it really relates to one another?

okay , first let us breakdown what is the meaning of  play and creativity ?

PLAY : An activity for enjoyment or recreation purpose, not a serious purpose
CREATIVITY : Where something new and somehow valuable is formed , not mainstream. 

       Creative play can comes from music , movement , singing , instrument playing , art things and many more. By the two important terms, imagination is needed. When a kid play a block , it needs her/his imagination to make a castle . and when you told by your teacher to be creative to do your art work , the first thing to do is to imagine “if I do it like this, would it be creative enough?

           Imaginary play happens when children use their imaginations to create pretend and make-believe scenarios. Children can engage in this type of play using small toy figures, puppets, dolls, or stuffed animals for example. Or children can act out a particular role themselves and become a part of a play drama. Often, dressing up and using props will be part of this kind of imaginary play. In here they play and also being creative , just like the picture under. Nathania's sister (Me) are playing with her crown and wand she is imagining to be a princess, which shows a strong relation between play and creative.
