semester reflection

First, I learned that inspiration will not come to find you, you have to explore them. Second, it is very common to face challenges and fail. I should not be upset when it happens to me, I should be brave and overcome it. Third, creativity is not always fun, because sometimes it is easy to run out of ideas and it requires hard work. From this semester I think I have found my creative style which is humorous and interesting.   I learned that making a mind map and brainstorming before you start a project is very helpful. Because brainstorming can help you to collect ideas in your mind and a mind map can represent your ideas neatly on paper. Besides, I learned that I should manage my time wisely because time is valuable and spending tons of time on something that is not necessary in the project is a waste of time.  Furthermore, I learned that through asking questions or searching things you didn’t understand on the internet can improve the efficiency of your work.   From gro...

I also look everything in an optimistic perspective. For example, when I get an important essay test which is really difficult. I think this big test is a chance to improve my recent score for this subject. I create my project which is a video through my iPad. I took videos and pictures and put them together to create a long video. I used various scenes to show how perspectives can change the motion when you look at the picture. In this class, I have explored myself as a creative person because I usually look at objects from different perspectives. For example, distance, emotion, direction. I often look at the objects from those three perspectives and that help me to have a better understanding of each ...

reflection

  What was difficult about this project and what was easy?  This project was difficult for me because it's easy to get stuck when designing and creating movement. Furthermore, each member of the group has their own interpretation of the movements and emotions. Furthermore, I believe the most challenging part for me is overcoming the embarrassment of performing in front of others and attempting to integrate into the play, which implies that my facial expression must match the plot. What was interesting, surprising, frustrating? I think it's sometimes interesting because I can create my own plot rather than just imitating or following other people's movements. Furthermore, I think the lighting has surprised me because when the lights  turned on, I feel as if I am standing on a stage and performing. In addition, the light evokes a variety of emotions and feelings in me. The blue light will turn on in our group when they appear to be isolating me, and it looks amazing. Furthe...

During the walk, I found out that I was most inspired by the tender shoot or new lives. Because in the  moon board as you can see, there are many pictures of a new life. They grow up on the wall, or between the rocks. They showed a strong vitality to me, and I was impressed by them. However, I also get stuck on what I am going to create, and my artists helped me to make a connection with my inspiration. Eyes always see and told the truth, and this make me to imagine the fairy tale The Emperor's New Cloth. This inspired me to make a strong connection between eyes, new life, and the child and the similarities they have is that they all tell the truth. Actually, I didn't decide to make a bag at first but decided to make a dress, but I found that I didn't get enough time. If I made the second iteration of my creation, I would add different kind of color on the eye and painted the bag black. Because this showed that no matter how dark the wor...
