WEEK 9 : Analogical Thinking

What is Analogical Thinking? 

• Analogical thinknig is what we do when we use information from one domain (the source or analogy) to help solve a problem in another domain (the target).
• Experts often use analogies during the process of problem solving, and analogies have been involved in numerous scientific discoveries. However, studies of novice problem solvers show that they often have difficulty in recognising that one problem can be used to solve another. 

For example....

                                  

For example, this top. This is not just an ordinary top. Below it has a figure like skirt so it's a combination of top + skirt which is equal to Peplum Dress.

                                

Here is a pencil box comes with a sharpener compartment so you can just sharpen your pencils from it without having the need to use just the shrarpener to sharpen it.

                                               

Look how creative this is! A coke bottle + Tissue box. Together it would form a coke Bottle tissue box.

                                 

Feeling bored of the old boring basic alarm clock? Check this out! A gun laser alarm clock so when it rings, you just take the gun and shoot it to snooze it. Isn't that awesome? I would probably get myself this. So it's a gun + alarm clock = gun laser alarm clock.

                                

Rubber band + Stick = Catapult

WEEK 8 : Making Faces

Making Faces. We were told to go outside and snap some pictures which you think it looks like a face. Something like this....

.

Taken from my school at Level 3. You will see the eyes and the small mouth below the window.

I love this picture as it really shows that angry face. The eyes are the 2 holes above the long window and the teeth is obviously the long window. 

This is funny. I came across this 2 red dots. Not only that, there's leaves that makes the face look like a face.

After taking the picture above, I came across this. Windows which look like eyes, the trunk which looks like a long nose and a curvy branch which looks like a mouth! Superb!

I took this picture from this Internet as I find it cool!  It somehow looks like a fireplace. 

I couldn't managed to find sockets that make faces like this. I think this is the first time saw this picture which have faces in it.

Last but not least, this house. If only the house can talk. We would all be shocked by it!

Week 7 : The Journey and Synesthesia

So what is Synesthesia?

According to the dictionary, " it is a condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes. Recently, people are having difficulty in finding the definition of synesthesia,as many different phenomena have been covered by this term and in many cases the term synesthesia ("union of senses") seems to be a misnomer. A more accurate term for the phenomenon may be ideasthesia.

Something like this ....

You see, singers made explicit videos like this not for the heck of it. There are meanings behind those songs.
Tunnel Vision by Justin Timberlake.

While maintaining central vision, “tunnel vision” would be the effect of losing your peripheral view. Ideally, you’d be solely focused on whatever your eyes are looking directly at. JT uses the side effect as a metaphor to the girl of his dreams; he only sees her, regardless of whats around him.

Week 7 : The Journey and Synesthesia

This week's lesson we're going to learn about The Journey and Synesthesia. The first thing that Kelvin opened was this unrated video, Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke ft Pharell and T.I and I was like "Oh my god hahaha I don't usuallt watch this video with people lol!" So we had to draw anything that has got to do with this video. What does it mean/ What is the motive of the video etc. So i drew this :

Pretty censored I know, but who cares?! It's Art man!

I finally found out the meaning of the song..

Robin hates when girls act like they don’t want him even when he knows for sure that they do. They just want to blur the line that separates them.

And on a sexual level, “blurred lines” refers to girls being interested in casual and dirty sex but having to maintain the good girl image. The Madonna-Whore Complex is messed up.

Also, “blurred lines” refers to the moral ambiguity of flirting with a girl Thicke knows isn’t single. Even if she’s in a committed relationship she’s a “wild animal” with independent thought, and thus her significant other doesn’t own her, so is it really all that wrong?
