What Is Art in Creative Multimedia?
           
Art. What is Art? There is no universally accepted definition of art. Although commonly used to describe something of beauty or a skill which produces an aesthetic result, there is no clear line in principle between a unique piece of handmade sculpture, and a mass-produced but visually attractive item. But what is art in Creative Multimedia?

Art in Creative Multimedia is a type of knowledge. Every artist was first an amateur. They started with empty paper and started to write their own autobiography. They learned from others, they work-hard, they practiced to gain the knowledge of Art. Some of them travel around the world to learn from others to collect different types of knowledge and experiences. Final artwork success or failure is not that important. The most important part is what you have gained during the process. Art can also learn from our daily life, perhaps art is imitation of life. After the years of practicing, learning, traveling, what we achieve is only the surface of art.

As Eager Degas says: “Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.” When you started apply that knowledge into your art, you will find it difficultly because those are not your ideas. You need to put yourself into your art to produce a good artwork. Art is alive, art needs vitality to be great. Therefore, art is creative, art need creativity. A creative art will attract the attention of audience, they may bring negative review but letting people discover your artwork is important than anything else. The world of a creative artist is unlimited, their world is built by invent, innovate and novelty. Creativity came from everywhere, it may from the sky, it may from the earth, and it may from a dream. You will not find creativity but creativity finds you. However, creativity strike as fast as lightning, remember to catch it before it is too late. Creativity is fun, so as art, without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable. That is why fun artwork can bring you more audience than a dull artwork. In art, we should not have models and rules because it will kill your art, remember to make your world without end. Art is the combination of flair and passion. Everyone is gifted to be an artist but a good or a bad artist is decided by you. We cannot lose our passion as an artist. An artwork produce without passion will like a body without spirit and soul, it is empty.


Imagination, which is the most basic theory for creative, even though in creative art. Everyone can have a fantasy imagination, but first of all you need to do is to implement it. You may sketch it on a paper or whatever thing you have. Doodling is the brooding of the mind. If you cannot do that, no matter how wonderful your idea is, it is useless, so you must dare to try but not scare to fail. In order to have a fantastic imagination, you must think it with opened mind. Always think it outside the box which named as common sense! The world is but a canvas to the imagination.” said by Henry David Thoreau. For while knowledge defines all us currently know and understand imagination points to all we might yet discover and create. Therefore, try to see a thing from different angle, you will get a new viewing of ideas. A creative art always inspired from the object that already have. Besides, thinking open mind does not mean that we can do it simply. Your design must be simple but not simply, simple but make sure people can understand it.

Moreover, art in Creative Multimedia is also priceless. It shows the unique of a designer with different cultures. Nobody in this world can have the same design unless they copy. A creative art can also lead the trend, it is all depended on your way of thinking. By the way, inspiration might also come from other’s idea but does not mean that you can copy. Sometimes, your idea may not be accepted by other people because it looks crazy because every really new idea looks crazy at the first. Dare to try but not to scare. So, don’t just give it up but give it a try. The most famous inventor, Thomas Edison also mentioned that Genius is 1 inspiration and 99 Perspiration.”

Furthermore, creative art is belonged to personal by a human. People can see the characteristic of a designer through his artwork. Else, your experience also helps you in design. So, we need to listen more and look more about this world to gain more experiences, you can have a new finding to be creative. In order to get a fantastic artwork, you need to be persistence all the time. A lot of people have just left his work in the half way because of facing problem or any small matter that need some time to solve it. They never know that persistence is the hardest part to maintain until the end after you are tired of doing the hard work you already did or maybe they knew but lack of effort. Whether you believe you can, or whether you believe you can't, you're absolutely right. Trust on yourself is needed in art.

Summary of Essay
Art in Creative Multimedia needs smart knowledge, crazy imagination and creative ideas to be done.

Random Word & Image Association

Random Association is an idea generation method which allows students to systematically generate new ideas through a fixed formula. The whole premise of Random Association is to use a Random Word to provoke a reaction from the brain.

Method of Random Association:
1. Use an image or object, these image is random choose.
2. Try to create some random words with come to your mind 1st when u saw the object.
3. Use these random words as guide to link with a completely different ideas.


With this method, u can create plenty of different ideas and make your brain think in different direction as well. Therefore, it is quiet helpful for those people who lack of ideas.


Task
To create ''SCARY IMAGE'' or ''OBJECT'' that will instill fear among people through out the ages!
Initial image:Kitten





This is my final work by using the concept kitten to create an scary image.
It is a very very scary pumpkin which is full of sharp tooth. This idea is came from the word 'witch'. Witch is always relate to pumpkin, therefore i use pumpkin to create a scary image.

That is how image association works, kitten>Witch>Scary image
Pumpkin is nothing similar to cute little kitten but the idea is came from kitten initially.

That is all i learn from the class, Thank You.


MOST SCARIEST PUMPKIN IN THE WORLD!!!

Mind Map

What is Mind Map?
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.



Characteristic of Mind Map
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. Mind map usually make use of color, icons and visual link. Mind Map is usually memorable and quicker to scan compare to note. It is a good way for learning.



Logical Mind Map
The Logical Mind Map is directly connected to stereotypes. The Logical mind map comprises of solely stereotype words. Which means that every word or image that is put within the mind map is directly related to the central subject through its links.

Normally easy to read and analysis by user. User can understand the meaning through 1 scan.


Associated Mind Maps
Using an associated mind map we are able to generate random words and also show the links between words that seemingly have no connection.
This mind map can help us to be creative in thinking in different direction. Mostly contain word that is unrelated that need user their creativity to relate them together. 


Based on the associated mind map provided above, I have chosen these three words:

1.Discipline
Punish the student to carry the heavy morta and pestle. Hahaha...


2.$$$
Fastest way to gain money for MMU FEE, rob people with pestle

and when u meet cops, LOL!!

3.Exercise
Surely can decrease 50% of ur weight after a week.


That is all, interesting class,  thank for viewing.

Juxtaposition

 Wat is JUXTAPOSITION
Definition: A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as a juxtaposition of words.
In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements. It is a good ways to let the thinker to get more ideas and its effective and easy to apply make it become popular among the artist.

Exercise: We do some little exercise today in the class.

We are given 2 row of number.
1. Flower                   1. Head
2. Light                     2. Rain
3. Ice                        3. Wood
4. Light                     4. Tree

7. Dog                      7. Mountain
8. Oil                        8. Wind
9. Leave                   9. Rock
0. Fly                        0. Water

After that, choose 3 set of number from these 2 row.
What i choose is 03, 18 and 99.

03= Fly Wood
18= Flower Wind
99= Leave Rock 

After that, we build a sentence with these 2 words and draw a picture to show it.
03: A bird fly on the sky been hit by wood.





18: The flower has been blow away by the wind




99: There is a leave beside the rock


 
Then, combine the 2 words together and again draw out.
03= FlyWood
18= FlowerWind




99= LeaveRock




Exercise 2:
The second exercise in class was to create a creature by combining two type of animals based on the given choices, and at the same time, take the chance or its survival into account, which means the creature created must be IMPOSSIBLE to live even a minute.






The answer is Bird + Fish. It is because the fish must be in water but bird are suppose to be flying in the sky. Therefore, there is no way it can live.

This is all i learn in class, thanks you!!
