Week 5 =) MindMap Week

FInally we reached week fifth in tis semester =)
perhaps i can done my works perfectly =)
During this week , we have learned about MINDMAP...

FIrst at all wat is a mindmap ?

A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information. A mind map is often created around a single word or text, placed in the center, to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added. Major categories radiate from a central node, and lesser categories are sub-branches of larger branches.Categories can represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items related to a central key word or idea.

Below have represented a mindmap tat about myself =)





From the links above , we have know not all inventions will bring innovation ,
but we cannt even survive without inventions !
There are many creative inventions have been created in our daily life =)
With unlimited creativity , we can invent alots of new things such as double decked - electric fan , 
pocket calculator , and Toshiba’s “Snack-3”, a device that can warm milk while toasting a slice of bread and frying an egg.
These show us , Creativity Are Unlimited Always !!! =)

Week 4 ❤ Historical Examination of Creativity:

Today , we got a risky task from our dear lecturer Mr. Mustafa =(
But anyway , we still nid to complete it !!! cheer up myself !!! haha !!! XDD

Lets start my briefing =)

=======================================================================

-> What TRAITS made them creative?

-> What ENVIRONMENTAL conditions existed?

-> What was the PROCESS of creativity?

=======================================================================
I would like to talk about MAYAThe Maya is a Mesoamerican civilization, noted for the only known fully developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as for its art, architecture, and mathematical and astronomical systems. Initially established during the Pre-Classic period (c. 2000 BC to AD 250), according to the Mesoamerican chronology, many Maya cities reached their highest state of development during the Classic period (c. AD 250 to 900), and continued throughout the Post-Classic period until the arrival of the Spanish.
Mayan ruins in Guatemala
Where the rain forests of Guatemala now stand, a great civilization once flourished. The people of Mayan society built vast cities, ornate temples, and towering pyramids. At its peak around 900 A.D., the population numbered 500 people per square mile in rural areas, and more than 2,000 people per square mile in the cities -- comparable to modern Los Angeles County.
========================================================================

Mayan Calendar
Maya hv created a lot of creative artifacts =)
for example , mayan calendar is the most famous totem calendar in the world .
The essentials of the Mayan calendar are based upon a system which had been in common use throughout the region, dating back to at least the 5th century BCE. It shares many aspects with calendars employed by other earlier Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Zapotec and Olmec, and contemporary or later ones such as the Mixtec and Aztec calendars.
Ceramic is one of the common cretive culture in Maya =)
Mayan ceramics are important in the study of the Pre-Columbian Maya culture of Mesoamerica. Through the years, the vessels took on different shapes, colors, sizes, and purposes. The intense artistic mosaics that grace the walls of the ancient masterpieces reveal stories of rulers, the underworld (Xibalba), Mayan creation, and even the particular function of the vessel.
There will be a summary introduction for a few famous mayan ceramic artifacts at the below =)
Mayan whistle figure from the Copan area of Honduras. In the form of a dwarf depicted with hands held in his lap, wearing fancy headdress and ear ornaments. Stands 56 mm (2 1/4") tall, made from the characteristic buff clay with the typical Early Classic appearance. Good calcification and nice tone.
Choice Maya figural fragment from Guatemala, c. 400 - 800 AD, in the form of a large head depicting an elite individual wearing a complex headdress and large ear spools. H: 3 1/2" (8.8 cm).
Fine Maya zoomorphic tripod jar from Guatemala, c. 100 - 500 AD, highly burnished and features two zoomorphic heads protruding from the chamber. Incised wing pattern on each side, likely to create a representation of a pair of fledgling birds in a nest. H: 3 1/2" (8.9 cm). Nice mineral deposits.
========================================================================
Beside artifacts , one of Mayan creative traits is Mayan Weaving =)
Mayan weaving is mostly done by the Mayan women, who after thousands of years continue producing their beautiful and varied items by means of a waistloom.

Their skill in weaving has been taught to them generation after generation by their grandmothers and mothers, starting at a very young age.

In many of the weavings you will find ancient Mayan symbols referring to some of their gods and to their vision of the universe, and other motifs emerge from their own inspiration.

Mayan weaving is definitely one more expression of Mayan art.
========================================================================

Ancient Creative Environmental Condition Exited =)
A Maya city from the Classic Period usually consisted of a series of stepped platforms topped by masonry structures, ranging from great temple-pyramids and palaces to individual house mounds. These structures were in turn arranged around broad plazas or courtyards. Maya architecture is characterized by a sophisticated sense of decoration and art, expressed in bas-relief carvings and wall paintings. At major sites like Tikal, large buildings and complexes might also have been interconnected by stone roads or causeways.
The Great Gate at Labna, southern Yucatán, is a fine example of Puuc-style architecture. Architects perhaps sacrificed the functionality of a "true arch" (with keystone) for the symbolism of the Maya vault. The tall structure was once free-standing, probably a ceremonial passageway between two plazas. 
The Temple of the Sun, Palenque, was built by Chan-Bahlum ("snake-jaguar"), son of Pacal, ca. A.D. 690. Its roof comb had no structural function, but can be considered analogous to a headdress worn by a king. The Temple's mansard roof is decorated with the beautiful stucco figures for which Palenque is justly famous.

========================================================================
The Process Of Maya Civilization being Build and Fall
The Maya Empire, centered in the tropical lowlands of what is now Guatemala, reached the peak of its power and influence around the sixth century A.D. The Maya excelled at agriculture, pottery, hieroglyph writing, calendar-making and mathematics, and left behind an astonishing amount of impressive architecture and symbolic artwork. Most of the great stone cities of the Maya were abandoned by A.D. 900, however, and since the 19th century scholars have debated what might have caused this dramatic decline.
The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the Yucatán around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Maya developed astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing. The Maya were noted as well for elaborate and highly decorated ceremonial architecture, including temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories, all built without metal tools. They were also skilled farmers, clearing large sections of tropical rain forest and, where groundwater was scarce, building sizeable underground reservoirs for the storage of rainwater. The Maya were equally skilled as weavers and potters, and cleared routes through jungles and swamps to foster extensive trade networks with distant peoples. 

Around 300 B.C., the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government with rule by nobles and kings. This civilization developed into highly structured kingdoms during the Classic period, A.D. 200-900. Their society consisted of many independent states, each with a rural farming community and large urban sites built around ceremonial centres. It started to decline around A.D. 900 when - for reasons which are still largely a mystery - the southern Maya abandoned their cities. When the northern Maya were integrated into the Toltec society by A.D. 1200, the Maya dynasty finally came to a close, although some peripheral centres continued to thrive until the Spanish Conquest in the early sixteenth century. 

Maya history can be characterized as cycles of rise and fall: city-states rose in prominence and fell into decline, only to be replaced by others. It could also be described as one of continuity and change, guided by a religion that remains the foundation of their culture. For those who follow the ancient Maya traditions, the belief in the influence of the cosmos on human lives and the necessity of paying homage to the gods through rituals continues to find expression in a modern hybrid Christian-Maya faith.

Wonderful Week 3 =)

So far as well , already reach 3rd week in my second semester =)
During this week , we learned about innovation and invention .

==========================CS Blog Topics Week 3============================



1. Visit the http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/tech/article/the-pc-is-dead-long-live-the-tablet/ 
What does it tell us about the process of invention and innovation? 

In my opinion , from that article , I have saw the latest high technological world , and the evolution of the technology from the old century until now.For me ,  invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition or process. It may be an improvement upon a machine or product, or a new process for creating an object or a result. An invention that achieves a completely unique function or result may be a radical breakthrough. Such works are novel and not obvious to others skilled in the same field.
Innovation is the development of new customers value through solutions that meet new needs, inarticulate needs, or old customer and market needs in new ways. This is accomplished through different or more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available to markets, governments, and society.To be a creative way in innovation , what you thought of  it first ?

HERE YOU ARE !!! MOST CREATIVE INNOVATION EVER !!!!
THE MOST FAMOUS SONG EVER LEADING THE GLOBAL NOW !!! XDDD
LET US OPPA GANGNAM STYLE TOGETHER !!!! 



2. And this one http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20071644. Ask yourself what kind of environment, situation etc., would make you to become a creative/inventive/innovative person?

In my point of view, as a FCM student , we all need a creative environments for brainstorming . A creative environment is one where people feel comfortable in expressing their ideas and where constructive support is given in the development and analysis of those ideas.

You are in a creative environment when ---->

Your ideas are listened to and investigated before being judged.
You feel appreciated when you suggest new ideas.
You can suggest solutions to other groups without feeling like you are intruding.
Your lecturer spends time with you and explains the reasons and politics behind projects.
You are given the freedom to do your work in your own way.

You are treated with respect and as someone who can contribute to the organization.
You are appreciated for what you do.
You are appreciated for who you are.

We both live in a creative world , a place which can generate our innovation =)

Cretivity Week 2 ❤

Amazing 2nd Week !!! Here you Are !!!!
For me , CREATIVITY are SIMPLE !!!
simple as these following photos =) such a nice photos , so im going to share them with you all =)
This is my second creative studies s' class in this semester . The strange feeling still remain unchange for me to this subject .But i feeling glad , that i have an interesting lecturer teaching me this subject , he is Mr Yap !!! XDDDD
He was very humour as the past lecture class , without him , I think this class will become such a boring subject LOL.... he oways telling us jokes... made our bored lecture bcome more interesting =)
During this week , we learned about "CREATIVITY"again...haha...
Creativity can be an ability , an attitude or even a process and more =)

Topic of this week :
List A -  Give 5 words associated to 'Creativity'.

---> IDEA
An idea is a concept or mental impression.Very often, ideas are construed as representational images; i.e. images of some object. In other contexts, ideas are taken to be concepts, although abstract concepts do not necessarily appear as images. With creative idea can enable us to create or invent something new .

--->EXTRA ORDINARY
Extra ordinary bring outs the meaning of something different with others , '' outside the order ''.
For me , extraordinary is a kind of driving force to me , as a student in FCM , we muz have creativity that 
extraordinary , to highlights the characteristics of our work . Besides , extraordinary can enable us to improve our creativity , enable us to create something much more better than before =)  Below here have an example bout extraordinary , for me , it is reli cool !!! 



--->UNLIMITED
Having no limits in range or scope, without reservation or exception , that cannot be entirely consumed 
or used up . These are the meanings of UNLIMITED . As part of the design , unlimited creativity can provided us more idea which can enable us to invent something new or even better than before =) If a designer that onli have limited creativity idea , he definitely cannt create a perfect artwork . It is very important to us !!! Creativity is unlimited , amazing no limits range as the SKY !!!


--->COLOUR 
Color can influence our emotions, our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas. Much has been studied and written about color and its impact on our daily lives.Many people believe that colors are powers, and that colored stones are especially powerful. Here are some of the meanings of colors and the energies contained in their corresponding stones. 


Colour is just simple , but it can symbolizes or even bring out the meaning of our emotion and 
crrativity. Lastly , COLOUR also one of the elements of design . 

ATTRACTING COLOURFUL WORLD 


--->MEANINGFUL
It bring out the meaning of  significant , expressive and significative . In my opinion , creativity can bring out specific meaning , it can enable our artworks endowed with meaningful. Creativity can expressed our emotion and stimulate our expression abilty =)

======================================================================

List B - Give 5 words not associated to 'Creativity'.

--->RULES
There many rules in this world , and these rules are always surround in our daily life .For me , there are school rules which is a part of school dicipline , game rules which define how a game is played or even moral
which is a rule or either element of moral code for guilding choices in human behavior . Beside these , there are many rules other than these. In my point of view, there must NO RULES in creativity . If our creativity are limited , that means we cannt invent a better new thing ever !!


--->COPY
It is the duplication of infomation or an artifact .In my point of view ,there must be no any COPY in our creativity ever . Creativity is an unique thinking , dun ever try to copy other people s' creativity , if not u will have a failure and never succeed .

--->CONSTANT
It is a situation or a state of affairs that does not change. As a part of creative major , we must have changeable creativity s' unique thinking . We will never be successful if we stay in a place permanent =)

--->LIMITED
As the UNLIMITED tat i hv stated out in List A , ''LIMITED'' this word should definitely not associated with ''CREATIVITY'' . Creativity are countless affairs which can enable us continually gaining new idea in our life . If there are LIMITED in our creativity mind , there will no improvent ever !!! 

Do not put yourself inside a bottle that limit your creative s' mind ❤

--->
========================================================================
Respond and reflect to the Ken Robinson 2006 Ted Talk episode on creativity education and intelligence.
========================================================================
As a student who has personally benefited from the arts, i strongly agree with Ken's position. I have struggled with mathematics and sciences all my life. It can be frustrating and discouraging when you are not seeing yourself succeed and you can develop the feeling of helplessness. I personally found success in art and music programs in my school, i was able to express myself in an environment in which i felt comfortable. Having these opportunities for creativity gave me the confidence i needed. The inclusion of creativity in schools is extremely important.Thats all my conclusion =)


TO BE CONTINUED......❤
