What do i understand Juxtaposition is a comparison which means the arrangement of two or more ideas,character.The lecturer use 'LOST SEASON 1' as an example for juxtaposition.He picks up some contrast elements used in the series.E.g: freedom/repression,rationality/faith,man/nature.

Juxtaposition just one way of creative thinking.

Task: Creating image of public figure -Pablo Picasso-

Biography

He was born October 25, 1881 in Malaga, Spain and by the time he died in France in April of 1973, had created a staggering 22.He works of art in a variety of mediums, including sculpture, ceramics, mosaics, stage design and graphic arts. As critic Hughes notes, "There was scarcely a 20th century movement that he didn't inspire, contribute to or--in the case of Cubism,which, in one of art history's great collaborations, he co-invented with Georges Braque--beget." Quite simply, as well as being a force of culture, Picasso was also a force of nature.

Before his 50th birthday, the little Spaniard from Malaga had become the very prototype of the modern artist as public figure. No painter before him had had a mass audience in his own lifetime."

Early Life and Work

A precocious draftsman, Picasso was admitted to the advanced classes at the Royal Academy of Art in Barcelona at 15. After 1900 he spent much time in Paris, remaining there from 1904 to 1947, when he moved to the South of France. His power is revealed in his very early works, some of which were influenced by Toulouse-Lautrec (such as Old Woman, 1901; Philadelphia Mus. of Art).

Later Life and Work
In his later years Picasso turned to creations of fantasy and comic invention. He worked consistently in sculpture, ceramics, and in the graphic arts, producing thousands of superb drawings, illustrations, and stage designs.

Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention I

Class reflection: 25 June 2010

•The creative process is how these new ideas, solutions, and inventions are produced.

"Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different" (Shekerjian, D.1990).

Basically,I'm not quite understand about this topic,after I surf the Internet for the explanation.

--Novelty is Latin word means new which means quality of being new.Although it may be said to have an objective dimension.

--Creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and get them from thought into reality which is the process includes original thinking and then producing.

--Innovation is a transformation in the thought process for doing something.

--Invention is a process which come from an idea.
