Week 6: Juxtaposition (Part 2)

Juxtaposition in Poetry
Gotta admit, it's been awhile since i wrote my last poem. The last time I wrote a poem was when I was in my English Literature class. That was when I was in form 5 of my high school years and I wasn't really good at it anyway~ :)



Chili - LOVE

Love can be so hot,
and yet only for awhile;
Like a bite of a chili,
The hotness only last for a few seconds.



Fast Car - LIFE

Drive it fast,
Drive it slow;
Anyway you want it,
You control the excitement of your life.



Ice Cream - PAIN

Life is like an ice cream,
Yes it's sweet;
But wait when it melts,
Every drop is like tears of pain.



Credit Cards - LOVE / LIFE

Money can buy love,
Money can buy life;
But in the end,
Will you pay all the bills?



Time - HAPPINESS

The time goes round,
Repeating everyday;
So does happiness,
That'll come day by day.



Duckling & Kitten - LOVE / PAIN

A duckling and a kitten,
Both feel the pain to understand each other;
But the truth is,
Love that brought them together.



Man / Women - TRASH

She is just a litter on a breeze,
Floating to wherever the wind takes her;
Finding the right place that suites her,
A place where trashes are belong.

When Animals Are Merged

I remember a movie titled; "Napoleon Dynamite" where there's a scene where Napoleon drew a merged animal and name it a Liger. It's a tiger and a lion combined.

Sir gave us a similar task. The task is to draw an animal that is a combination of 3 different animals. I've chosen:
A Cat

A Great White Shark

A Giant Octopus / Kraken

So here is the result looks like:

Face of a cat, Mouth / Teeth of a shark and body of n octopus
(I'm not much of a drawer~)

I picked, "01", "39", "95".

Week 3: Bill Gates

For my next CS assignment, student were asked to draw a picture of the creator of Microsoft Windows or the creators of Google through our own opinion of what he represents.

I've chosen 'the creator of Microsoft Windows', Bill Gates;

So what I did was, I drew a picture of him trying to smash an apple (symbol for Mac) with a bat (with a Windows symbol on it). I get the idea after reading an article about him on Yahoo! a few days ago. The article was about him banning the iPhone from his house. To read more about the article, click here: Click!

In class, sir asked us to work in pair and each must draw an avatar of of their partner, based on their personalities. Here's mine;

Week 1: Creative? Creativity?

What is the differences between Creative and Creativity?

Creative:

- Having the quality or power of creating.

- Resulting from originality of thought, expression, etc.; imaginative:
creative writing. - Originative and productive.
- Facetious. using or creating exaggerated or skewed data, information, etc.: creative bookkeeping.

Creativity:
- The state or quality of being creative.

- The ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination: the need for creativity in modern industry; creativity in the performing arts.
-
the process by which one utilizes creative ability: Extensive reading stimulated his creativity.

Those are the meaning of Creative and Creativity taken from dictionary.com. But in my opinion;

Creative:
Creative is like something that is very artsy and nobody have ever think about it before.

Example:
The portable chair (image on the left)

No one has ever created a portable chair like that before. That is why it called creative. Because of its design is so original. Plus, it's very artistic.





Creativity:
To me, creativity is something a exist in your mind. Creativity can be develop by analytical, expression, curiosity and sensual. It also means something that is never been think or created by someone else before.
