Reflection

It is Finally going to be an end to term 1! It's a shame this is our last lesson for Creative Thinking, it made me realise how time flies so fast. I have a lot of fun during the lessons, I would say this is the least stressful module. I feel that every lesson made our class bond more. I think this lesson also made me have better teamwork as there are many group activities during every lesson. I learn many innovative things during this lesson that may help in my studies and work life. I learn how to brainstorm with methods like See think Wonder, 10 words and 2 questions, analogical thinking and empathy.

Empathy

This is what I did for my last lesson of creative thinking, We split up into groups and think of how we would feel as an object. My group chose bottle for that object. We managed to find 25 feelings of how the bottle would feel. I think empathy is a way to understand others better, and in work situations this term "empathy" may be useful so that you can put the needs of customers first and look for ways to satisfy them.

Typography

This is a book I bought about typography. I got this book from Nafa's book fair a few weeks ago. The reason why I bought this book is to improve on my typography skills as I have a really messy handwriting and typography is really important for my course, Graphic Communication. I like the layout of this book, I like how there are different fonts around the border of this book. I wonder if this book is helpful enough to improve on my typography? Could I possibly learn various types of fonts by reading this book?

Skill

This is a picture of a skating park at scape. I'm quite fascinated to watch people skating because I find it is an interesting skill. I especially love the graffiti art on the skating platform, I think it really brings out the mood in skating. When looking at people skating I wonder how long it took them to master this skill? Do they skate since young? Are they not afraid of getting serious injuries during skating?

Different

In this picture, I took photo of two seahorses swimming around in their aquarium. I have watched animal planet and national geographic very often and I heard that seahorses are unique. Naturally it is always the female that gives birth to babies, however it is different for seahorses. The male seahorses are the only creature where the male has a true reserved pregnancy. I wonder how is this possible? Why can't other male mammals other than the seahorse give birth too?

Proportion

This is a picture I took for today's blog, It seems to be a man yawning away and he seems to be wearing traditional Chinese clothing. However he's body proportion is really off as he have a huge upper body and really tiny legs. At first glance I did not notice his lower body because of the weird body proportion. I thought this sculpture was from his head to his waist.
