WEEK 6_Lateral Thinking

Exercise of the week :

Imagine a room. The window at the back is open. In front of the window there is a table with a vase, in which a fresh rose stands.

A painting of flowers hangs on the opposite wall .

A bee flies into the room through the open window , straight to the painting and not the rose.

In order to think in the bee's perspective, I illustrated a sketch.

Let's say I am the bee. This can never be! The food is just in front of me! How could I REJECT?

Hence, I assume something abnormal happened.

Brainstorming:

the bee loss smell sense

the bee doesn't like rose

want to rescue his friend who stick on the painting

the bee can't control his flying

the bee just finish eating

the bee wants a long flying

etc

...

 Relevant mind maps:

Most possible situation:

Lateral thinking is the best way to train your brain think out of the box.

WEEK 5_ Mind mapping

We carried out a mind mapping session about factors of  an happy life 

 Mickey Mouse is the icon of spreading happiness.

Unfortunately, we offered this paper to SMRT train.

Hence, we met up to make a new one.

The ideas inspired by a board game -The Game Of Life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_of_Life

The factors are:
SHELTER
SOCIAL
ACHIEVEMENT
SPIRITUALITY
STABILITY
FOOD
MONEY
HELTH

We also crafted an octagonal dice .


The presentation.

We invited Ms Debra to throw the dice for us to start the topic.

Smashing the dice.

We hidden sweets in it for our classmates.

That was how we tried to send our message about " food makes us happy".

It turned out very well! Everyone was pleased !

Every group came out with different points and design.

Mind mapping is a useful skill helps us t elaborate and organize our ideas.

We learnt an important lesson.

   

WEEK4 (PUBLIC HOLIDAY )

We were not having any lesson.
I would like to share my group's presentation last week

We have chosen the title: 101 way to wear a shirt

We have 3 major categories : make it a head wear, top or dress.

Best 20 choices of wearing a shirt were presented by our NAFA next TOP models

Wear it as a vest.

Wear it as a pirate hat.

D.I.Y handbag!

Raincoat ?We might need a bigger shirt.

The quality of photos quite bad because it was a rushing runway.

 Wear it like a apron.

Lastly, wear it as a pantie !

Some ideas sound crazy and impossible but some exposed me to the new functions of a piece of cloth.That is the amazing part of brainstorming.

WEEK 3_The more , the merrier

Brainstorming session in Creative thinking class.

101 ways to wear a shirt

I enjoyed the moment when we embraced all the craziness and nonsense. It made us more open minded!

This  reminded me of Mr Chng- my drawing fundamental teacher.

:''Is okay if we can't produce good quality art pieces , do more, we aim quantity !''

I was so struggle with my drawing skills. I finally found a way out.

I have to  DO MORE !

In the painting studio.

I used to be so picky but now I learnt to draw without choosing subject.

and

I got some unexpected gifts...

Views from 6th floor , NAFA CAMPUS 1, at 8.00 a.m.

When on my way home...

 First time -squat by the roadside and draw!

Oh no! I got to the lost way last week!

I didn't spot this beautiful field
