Part7: Juxtaposition

Posted by Panda Lemas on 11:29 AM

The juxtapositon. Weird, but that's how we derived a new ideas by placing two words together and change everything about it by a few methods that's so interesting.

It could be defined as:
Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variable, side by side and their contrast or similarity are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually ‘turning’ something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa.
(taken from the lecture notes)





Up there is the exercise in our class about juxtaposition. The exercise were so much fun and it is almost like we have no class at all.

1) We have to copy all the words shown in the slide and make it into 2 columns.
2) Put numbers to each words
3) Think 3 sets of 2 numbers between 0 to 99
4) Pair each words in the column according to the number that we've chose
5) Make a sentence according to the words that we have paired.
6) Visualize the sentence in our own drawing
7) Make the words that we have paired to become one word.
8) Draw something new according to that new word!

And thats how we had so much fun!

Another exercise that we have done was about create a poem according to the words that the lecturer gave to us. In the class, he gave us the word "chilli" and he asked us to create a romantic poem based on that words.

So, i used the creative method thinking that is "mind mapping" and got this ideas!
 

*yes the handwriting are a bit off... i was in a hurry!*

And from that mind map, i easily get this poem for my lover by describing him symbolically by using the chilli~
  

And that's it. enough for now! :)
