Coffeeful life!

I wish your life to be like a coffee bean last long and strong, like a cup of coffee reviving and hot, and graceful like a coffee tree.

Spicy Love!

I will never forget the frozen marbles that froze my mind, I'll never forget the moment the red chillies burnt my heart, and never forget the moment a hot hug spiced up my soul like a chili pepper.

Juxtaposition

Definition: An act or instance of placing close together or side by
side, esp. for comparison or contrast.

Generally Juxtaposition means mixing two or more different
things like animals, plants or objects in order for
creating a new object or creature. I think one of the best
examples for juxtaposition in terms of art could be Avatar
the movie.

The film, Avatar, by James Cameron is a story
about another planet which is captured by human being for
some materialism reasons, meanwhile the story shows how do
we as some strangers communicate with the native creatures
who are man-like but with some physical differences such as
colors and shapes!In this story, native people are like humans but in blue
color and a cat facial shape and tale.In fact the juxtaposition in this case would be an obvious
combination of wild cats and human being.

Well as the first exercise for this topic, we have been
looked forward through some sort of un-related words which
were organized in two categories, and mix them up together
and create a new creature out of the mixture!Here are the words in first row: 0.Flower, 1.Lightning, 2.Ice, 3.Light, 4.Fire, 5.Duck, 6.Dog, 7.Oil, 8.Leaf, 9.Fly

And the second row is:1.Head, 2.Rain, 3.Wood, 4.Tree, 5.Spider, 6.Root,
7.Mountain, 8.Wind, 9.Rock, 0.Water
The numbers I chose are 14, 65 and 31

Here is the process:

=============================================

As the second exercise we were to combine two creatures together in order to make a new strange one which should have some limitation for living. The creature we make must have extreme limitation as possible to survive!

So the one I come up with is a combination of a Snake and a Dragonfly!

Well this creature needs to fight as it is a snake, needs to fly and gets food from blossoms and trees as it's a dragonfly. On the other hand, the wings are not so strong, they might simply be lost or hurt in any offensive action. Therefore, this creature cannot live longer than few minutes after it created!

Mind Map about ME!

Logical mind map

The very beginning of almost every project which could be a design or a scientific problem solving starts at the centre of a paper where the idea starts to grow for further development. Logical mind maps are often used to direct thoughts to one specific solution. This kind of dealing with problems is called convergent thinking. In this way of problem solving we need to gather facts and information from many different sources to lead us to the answer. Logical mind mapping is the best way to organize this information in a way that is easy to refer and understandable for others in a short time. This method is also great for brainstorming sessions and makes all the members of a group project involved by recording their ideas in a structured hierarchy. Studies show that in this way. The amounts of possible and useful ideas are far more than the time when people used to write in a linear way. The visual part of a mind map is one of the most aspects that should be taken care of to have the maximum effect. Different connections between information on a mind map help to make many new connections in our mind which could be a spark of a creative idea. Practice mind mapping helps to generate more efficient ideas in a less amount of time.

The point of no return...

Brain Storming about the definition of creativity:
Definitely creativity is not about doing old things again and again but generating new and fresh things and ideas, however doing cliche things could be led to a creativity someday, since there may be lots of alternatives in doing an old overdone thing which can cause a new look to a matter.
Moreover, creativity may define as looking different to matters, yet it can't be achieved from the first tries for solving a matter, so it needs to be tried several times but in different ways.
So perhaps we can say, creativity is finding new ways in order to solve a problem.
The "problem" here does not merely mean "trouble", I suppose. Any kinds of issues that can make our brain busy of finding a way to deal with, could be considered as problem which needs to be solved by our brain. If there were no laziness or feeling of more conveniences for getting informed from the world around us, the idea of inventing a TV may never be existed, and people may still go to theatre for watching movies! As feeling of more conveniences is not a trouble but a challenge for expecting more of life, yet it still needs to be answered in some way for human's brain to get calmness.
The result would be definitely attempting to find a way to make the theatre as small as it could be fit into a living room of a house. This part is called creativity.

One of the other aspects of creativity which has been discussed in class was creativity in terms of art. Well obviously creativity is more meaningful when it is used for judging a work of art.
I suppose, all the artists are not merely creative, but creative people are artists!
In order to prove my word I can say, all the TV manufacturers are not creative because making a box with a lamp that can show some pictures to entertain people is not a new thing but a routine now-a-days, however the first guy who invented and designed this box as a shape of a "Box" which could be adjusted in a small room of a house, is definitely a creative artist.



The other thing that I got from today's class is "A creative person is a content provider, as he or she is providing a content obviously, but any content provider may not be a creative person!"
