Lecture Class – Play and Fuse!
Our lecture classes for 13th and 20th September was about playing and fusing respectively and it was so much fun and exciting since we were really playing and creating stuff during lectures, something we would not really get during lecture class!
During the “Play” day, we were given papers with picture of a shape on it. There were a few shapes, I could not recall how many but quite a number, around 8 I guess? Everyone eventually got different shapes and I got the star. I did not have a particular shape that I wanted in mind as I really do not mind exploring my capability in creativity. We were asked to just draw anything on it, like imagine what the shapes could turn into. I was turning the papers around to figure out what image or object I could come out with and my idea struck just like a lightning (hahahahhahahaha). I got a head of a fox and immediately sketch it down, adding in the body as well. I was happy with my drawings although no one really saw it (HAHAHA). Some people’s works were presented and they are all so talented! Especially the one that got a triangle shape, she drew a mountain out, with the reflection at the bottom, genius! After that, the lecturer and tutors gave us another blank piece of paper and asked us to write our name on it and then fold it into paper planes. I was really curious at first though in why we have to write the name but I just did as told and folded my plane. Ms D then showed a slide of a bull’s eye target thing on the screen. “We shall see whose plane gets to hit the bull’s eye!” she said and it still did not answer the part why we have to write our name (hahaha I was really curious). We all did as she told but I think no one really got it, well a few got a near missed. Once we all flew the plane and thought it was over, I finally know why we have to write our name on it. We have to clean up the mess and if Ms D catches that whoever left their planes on will get penalties for our assignments. SLY, I did not think about that, ahhahahaaaa. And there it ends our class for that day.
On the other hand of the “Fuse” day, we learnt to fuse different objects into an outfit, with the appointed 2 items as an inspiration on the outfit. Our group got ice cream and gun, literally two different style of items from the two different polar of the world. Our group members were really clever in incorporating the ideas though! We designed a cone, clearly inspired by the cone of the ice cream as the hat. Our top part of the outfit is a re-enact of ice cream and for the bottom, we have cups clipping together to form into a rounder shape as the skirt. We also cut the colourful straws into pieces and stick them on the ice cream part, as the sprinkle of course! As for the gun part, we have designed it as if it looks like gloves for our model to wear. We even did an extra mile to have our newspaper rolled into balls and coloured on to look like ice cream balls, and when we presented our outfit, we will have the ice cream shooting out from the gun! And when we were done with our outfit, it was time for show time where every group will have their model doing the cat walk on stage. There was a model from a group that really gained everyone’s attention (Go Justin! Hahahahaha). Well, I have compiled some short clips together that I have recorded and you will see what I mean XD. Enjoy! (p/s video quality is not the best cause I edited via my phone, and that I was short with storage so I have to save it with a lower resolution, sorryyyy)
