Creative Studies Week 2

Today I have the second class for the Creative Studies. The lecture is teaching by lecturer Yap Sau Bin. He is an funny an humor person. Today we are continue our discussion about the "Little Red Outlook Subject" on last week.

There are so many answer that we give, the two answer that I feel interesting ones is candle holder and chalk holder. Such as the picture that I provided below.

1) Candle holder

2) Chalk holder
Besides that, there are a lot of answer that give from us. But I think accept my answer of "stopper" that I give in week one, candle holder and chalk holder is the more suitable and logical answer. But never mind, I am still guessing.....

CG Blog Topics Week 2

In addition, lecturer Yap Sau Bin also give us answer the two question. There are 5 words associated to CREATIVITY and 5 words not associated to CREATIVITY.

My first answer in 5 words associated to Creativity is COLOUR, I think colour is the more importance thing in creativity even the thing only have black and white colour.



Second, IMAGINATION, imagination can give us feel that the subject or thing is more creativity and interesting. Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the ability of forming new images and sensations when they are not perceived through sight, hearing, or other senses. Imagination helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge; it is a fundamental faculty through which people make sense of the world, and it also plays a key role in the learning process.


Third, FUN, creativity is the thing that must to be fun,  if do not has fun, it not a creativity, it just give us feel boring.


Fourth, PATTERN AND SHAPE, if the pattern and shape of the subject are not interesting, it do not give us feel that it is creative. So, pattern and shape of the subject is one of my words to define the creativity.


The last is NEW, the subject of thing should be new, if we have saw or found that the subject or thing at anywhere, I think that are not creativity. Creativity must be uncommon and unusual, the other word that can say is rare.




Moreover, my answer of my 5 words not associated to Creativity is WEIGHT, HEIGHT, IDENTITY, RELIGION, and GENDER. haha...I give that answers because I think all of this thing we cannot choice ourself , we also cannot try to change it even we want to make it become more creative........XD




Furthermore, today we also learn the title about DEMYSTIFYING THE MYTH OF CREATIVITY.
There are a lot of subtitle that about the demystifying the myth of creativity. 

For example, 
1) ONE SPECIAL TALENTED PEOPLE ARE CREATIVE. 
2) BEING CREATIVE IS HARD.
3) PROBLEMS ARE IN OUR LIFE TO MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT.
4) I AM NOT CREATIVE.
5) INNOVATION IS THE DOMAIN OF GENIUSES.
6) I HAVE TO HAVE BRAND NEW IDEAS IN ORDER FOR ME TO BE CONSIDERED
CREATIVE.
7) BRAINSTORMING IS HARD WORK.
8) ONLY ARTISTS NEED TO BE CREATIVE.
9) USING STRUCTURED CREATIVE TECHNIQUES WILL HINDER MY ABILITY TO BE CREATIVE.


Besides, there are 3 ways to define Creativity.
1) An Ability
-----The ability to imagine or invert something new.
-----The ability to generate new ideas by combining, changing, or reapplying existing ideas.

2) An Attitude
-----The ability to accept change and newness, a willingness to play with ideas and possibilities, a flexibility of outlook.

3) A Process
-----Creative people work hard and continually to improve ideas and solutions by making gradual alterations and refinements to their works.


Respond and reflect to the Ken Robinson 2006 Ted Talk episode on creativity education and intelligence.



Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.Schools kill creativity. Wow, that was really hard to hear. I think that creativity is a very important aspect to education. I think that creativity opens doors to success in others subjects and it leads to higher order thinking. Promoting creativity in the school system seems to be beneficial all the way around. It only seems right. I just wish we lived in a perfect world where every school system had enough money to provide properly for all of their students. That the students would have enough school sports and clubs, etc. I know that some students have these opportunities but I just wish every student had the opportunity.

There are a lot of Quoted By Ken Robinson
= "If you are not prepared to be wrong,  you’ll never come up with anything original.”
“All kids have tremendous talents — and we squander them pretty ruthlessly.”
=“Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.”
“Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects: at the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts.”
=“It’s education that’s meant to take us into this future that we can’t grasp.”
