Research For Prezi

How GOOD Prezi is? when I first time use Prezi I were lost, I thought it was easy but then I try it out it is easy. Better than powerpoint because they give a lot of good template for us to play around with it. Powerpoint have template but is to update is old one, but Prezi is unique. All I can expressed is that I felt more relieve with advanced technology. Without advanced technology, we CANNOT complete our project or assignments. Prezi is an advantage in many ways. It is an advancement of Microsoft Office Powerpoint slides. When you click the next slide, the slide will zoom out to attract the attention, which it already succeeded in. Not only the slide will zoom out, the arrangement of the slide is abnormal. In Microsoft Office Powerpoint slides, it is always the same arrangement unlike Prezi which is arranged in disordered manner in a page, save time in looking at individual slide. As Prezi is unique, people LOVE it. After I researched Prezi, I understand that I have to explore new ideas to improve the assignment. This way, my lecturers and readers will enjoy reading my slide. Press is the BEST.

Reflection for the 5 week

THIS IS MY FIFTH WEEK. How do I feel? GREAT! For this week, my lecturer gave us a class activity on mind map. She gave us the instructions such as to research on a topic on what makes us to be more creative.
Currently, my group mates and I have 7 key points to elaborate on.
First point, games. We love to play games such as building legos, video games AND PLAY DOH. CHILDHOOD  MEMORIES!!!
Second point, imagination. Imagination is important to us. Without it, we do not have goals or dreams to chase after, which will cause us to be lost.
Thirdly, observation. We have to observe our surrounding which includes nature. We should watch movies, discovery channel, documentary and talk show to understand the cause of our surroundings. Fourth, ART. Art mainly consists drawing, painting, sculpture and illustration which we are familiar with.
Fifth, WE ARE IN AN ART SCHOOL. This proves that we are not alone when it comes to creative project. School is a place where we discuss our creative ideas together. We improve our creative products together.
Sixth, through exploring. Travelling, dancing and listening to music will be good examples of exploring. We should see the world with a pair of eyes of a child and this develops our self-talent. Lastly, 5Ws and 1H. WHO? WHERE? WHEN? WHAT? WHY? HOW? This builds the creative mind of us.

Reflection for the week 4

This week, my lecturer gave me an assignment to complete. This assignment was easy to complete unlike others. It was a peer assignment which we gave each other our opinions to improve on each other's blog. I gave my feedback to Nathania and Lydia gave hers to me. I rate my blog low grade but Lydia rate it high. It was a twist. She said that I need to make my blog more understandable and change my fonts. I agree with her because it will improve my blog. After Lydia gave me her feedback, I researched on different types of fonts that can interest my readers. After a thorough research, I like Helvetica and Arial fonts. This assignment can help me understand my faults and improve it. I gave Nathania my feedbacks.  Her blog is not easy to read because of the fonts. I suggest to her that she should change the fonts. She changed her fonts immediately, very efficient. She can also write more for her reflection and add more pictures. This can interest her readers which includes me. Overall, this assignment helped me to change my style of my blog and to gain more readers to my blog.

Peer Assignment

What I learn from my blog now is that I need to make my blog understandable and change my fonts. It can also be more interesting like putting more pictures into my blog. What needs to be change is the fonts because people would enjoy reading it in the blog. I want my blog to be easily read and understandable. Lydia gave a me a good grade for my blog which differs from what I have graded myself. Since Lydia gave me suggestions now on how to make my blog more interesting, I will try my best to improve it.

5 designs art that have broken the rules

( Secondary resource: Dead animals, taken on 12/8/2015)

The artist who created this is named Damien Hirst. Sometimes he uses dead animals to do his products. Many people voiced their opinions against him but he do not head it. He thinks that as long as his goal of making people understand his product that should be fine. His products may seem artistic to him but to many people's eyes, it is lack of the humanity. Animals are also living organisms like humans. After death, would anyone likes it if their bodies are being used as a product? We cannot treat them unfairly as they have their own rights. He indeed has broken the rules of art which challenged many artist to create art using dead products of animals but it does not benefit the majority.

( Secondary resource: Burger King artwork, taken on 12/8/2015)

This artwork is done by Damien Hirst. This time, he donated this artwork to the Burger King which drawn many people's attention onto it. Unlike the previous artwork, this benefitted London as this helps to prepare for the upcoming Olympics. If there are more people drawn to this artwork, this means that more people are exposed to this type of artwork. This artwork is beneficial to majority. Damien Hirst once again broke the rules of the art.

( Secondary resource: Michael Jackson artwork, taken on 12/8/2015)

This is Jeff Koon's artwork. Michael Jackson was a well known celebrity who develop his life as an American singer, record producer, dancer and actor. Jeff koon must have created this artwork to commemorate Michael Jackson and his efforts for uniting everyone to gather to enjoy music.

( Secondary resource: Balloon sculpture, taken on 12/8/2015)

The artist who created this is named Jeff Koons. He broke the rules of art because he uses the ideal of a balloon sculpture to create a art piece. Majority of people grew up with their childhood playing the balloons. This balloon sculpture is unique as this shows the memories of us.

( Secondary resource: Human head, taken on 12/8/2015)

This art is created by Marc Quinn. This art breaks the rule of the arts because it uses the ideal of a human head to create this art which many do not try. Not only that, this human head can also be eaten! Although I think I may puke if I ever eats it but this human head is special. It shows the portrait of Marc Quinn himself which is unique in many people's eyes.

(Group work) Illustrate for 101 ways to use chopsticks 3 design

I have illustrated my chopsticks to clean the dirt in the belly button. For Nathania' group, her illustration was using the chopsticks to make a castle and Rizal illustrated chopsticks to make a christmas tree. This is what we have done.

(Group work) 3 things that have broken the rules

This table is a design which had broken the rules of stability because the common table has 4 legs but this table only has 3 legs.Although it has just 3 legs,it is also stable for us to put the things on it.So,this design breaks the rules and is also creative.

( Primary resource: 3 legs table, taken on 14/8/2015 )

This lamp breaks the rules of the concept of  a lamp because we always see the common lamp which has different of shapes but we never know that we can make a lamp using a horse model.We think this design is special and it gives us a great concept of design.

( Primary resources: Lamp using a horse model, taken on 14/8/2015 )

We find that the design of this chair does not look like the other chair.It is unusual because the common design of chair has legs but this chair does not have any leg.But it is still stable and we can sit on it.The curves using of the chair is also quite attractive and it is a special design.

Reflection for the third week

In the third week of creative thinking class, all we did was presentation for our 101 ways to use chopsticks. Everyone shared their ideals on how to use chopsticks in 101 ways to the class and our lecturer told us that we should crossed out some ideas from another group that is already mainstream (commonly seen). Ours were also crossed out by other classmates. At in the end, We could only have 15 points that they did not cross it out. Afterwards, our lecturer told us that we choose 3 designs form 101 ways to use for chopsticks to illustrate my group and I. We have chosen the ideal of using the chopsticks that will clean the belly button dirt and the use of chopsticks to make a castle. Not only that, we can use it to make wooden spectacle. Next, my lecturer gave us an assignment to research about artists who have broken the art rules. She has given us the assignment to research on the 3 items that the artists have broken the art rules. Breaking the art rules simply means that the art is not something we have expected to see or not commonly seen. I remember that breaking my own routine was not easy as I am not used to my new routine. I think breaking the art rule is a difficult step for the artists as they have not experience themselves the new product they have created. However, breaking my own routine benefitted me and I think that the new products that the artists have created will benefit us. Must we always have to constrict ourselves thinking the same ideals? We must be creative and courageous to take a big step to challenge our thoughts.

101 ways to use Chopsticks

On that day other than the assignment given to me, my group was given a task to think of 101 ways of using chopsticks. We rack our brains together, we cannot use internet to research which the only way is to think creative. Nathania brought her mahjong paper, Lydia and Rizal brought their marker pens. We brainstorm together for two hours and finished our class without finishing the assignment. We are planning to meet together after class to complete it.
Today, 4th August is the day we met up. We finally completed this project. We discussed the details for this Thursday, hoping we could get better marks. Today, I do not need to attend school but I have made an effort to come for the group meeting. Since my other group mates also have the will of completing the assignment, I should do my part of going to the meeting. After all, we are together for this assignment.

Reflection second week

My second week of creative thinking class was interesting! My teacher gave me two assignments.
First, researched on how tree gives fresh air. Second, break your routine. How to research on how tree gives fresh air, I used my younger sister textbook to find the necessary information. I wrote the results in my blog and understand why the plants give out fresh air. Fresh air (oxygen) is needed for living organisms. Without fresh air, humans cannot have energy to carry out their daily routine. My daily routine is coming back home using my Macbook and my handphone. After which, I watch the television and bathe before eating dinner.
However, the assignment is to discuss on to how to break my daily routine which I tried a different routine. This different routine starts from bathing first. Next, I ate my dinner and enjoyed my time watching the television. After, I did my assignment given by my lecturer. I researched using my handphone and Macbook. Finally, I conclude my routine with sleeping.

Break my Routine

My daily routine is coming back home using my Macbook and my handphone. After which, I watch the television and bathe before eating dinner.
However, the assignment is to discuss on to how to break my daily routine which I tried a different routine. This different routine starts from bathing first. Next, I ate my dinner and enjoyed my time watching the television. After, I did my assignment given by my lecturer. I researched using my handphone and Macbook. Finally, I conclude my routine with sleeping.
I realised that changing my routine is not easy as I have gotten used of my old daily routine. Although it was hard to adapt the new routine, I enjoyed more than my previous routine. I know how to make good use of my time and complete the other assignment. I learnt that changing my routine after all was not a bad ideal as I now acknowledged that I need more time to do my assignment before I play my games for a better results.  Humans have to change their lifestyle for the better. Instead of repeating doing the same routine, changing makes life easier. Hence, I learnt to improve on how to manage time well with using the new routine.

Why Tree give a Fresh air?

A tree needs carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is transformed into chemical energy. The chemical energy is used to synthesise carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are the raw materials for photosynthesis. Oxygen is released during the process.
The limiting factors in photosynthesis are light intensity, concentration of carbon dioxide and temperature.
After photosynthesis, glucose and oxygen are produced. Fresh air which is oxygen for living organisms to respire. Tree do have a reason to give fresh air. It is a process of respiration which gases exchange. Gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange through diffusion.
Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a lower region of concentration. The gases exchange in the spongy mesophyll. It has numerous large intercellular air spaces among the cells. It allows rapid diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen into and out of mesophyll cells. In daylight when photosynthesis occurs, the carbon dioxide in the leaf is rapidly used up. The carbon dioxide concentration in the leaf becomes lower than that in the atmospheric air, so a diffusion gradient exists. Therefore, carbon dioxide diffuses from the surrounding air through the stomata into the air spaces in the leaf. The surfaces of the mesophyll cells are always covered by a thin film of water so that carbon dioxide can dissolve in it. The dissolved cartoon dioxide then diffuses into the cells.
Trees and plants are producers. They are the lowest in the pyramid of numbers at each trophic level as they are the main source of food. There will not be a food web without producers.
