A Quick Review

.
Lesson1:

Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of making something new.

It can be understood in many ways. creative people also have an ability to invent something which did not exist before. For example, Bill Gates who invented Microsoft makes him the first richest man in the world. Creative does not only developing something new to the world, it’s more about developing something new to ourselves.

Lesson 2:

Novelty is the quality of being new. Create or modify using your own idea and creativity such as a souvenir, gift and many more. For example, a new style of art coming into being such as abstract art or impressionism.

Creativity is using imagination rather than imitating something else. Generation of ideas, images and solutions. This is very important for individual to develop their creative skills so they can be able to think creatively in solving problem, studying and many more situation can be applied.

Innovation is the act of starting something for the first time and introducing something new which means doing something in a new way. A distinction is typically made between Invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas applied successfully.

Invention is discovery or creation of a new things, device, or process. Some inventions are based on existing models or ideas.

Lesson 3:

Mind Mapping is an idea generation and brainstorming. It enhances both side human brain and widely used in taking notes, research, generate new idea. Create interest to the individual and also to the viewer. This is an effective way to generate idea and remember all the points.

There are two types of mind mapping which are:

Logical Mind Mapping - Draw a mind map only based on one topic. Then, find several subtopic related topic. Use only one or two words. Drawing is necessary to help u remember and make it interesting.

Associated Mind Mapping - It similar to logical mind mapping. The difference, associated mind mapping is using more then one mind mapping such elaborates subtopic.

Lesson 4:

Juxtaposition is an act of comparing two random things, especially in a way that suggests connection between them and turns it into one meaningful form. For example, turns word -> image.

Stereotype is someone’s perception of first impressions: The behaviors that presumed by a group of people judging with the eyes ones outer appearance to be associated with another specific group.

Analogy

Definition:

1. An analogy is a comparison of certain similarities between things which are otherwise unlike.
2. a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.
3. similarity or comparability: I see no analogy between your problem and mine.
4. Biology. an analogous relationship.
5. Logic. a form of reasoning in which one thing is inferred to be similar to another thing in a certain respect, on the basis of the known similarity between the things in other respects.
6. Linguistics.
7. the process by which words or phrases are created or re-formed according to existing patterns in the language, as when shown was re-formed as shoes, when -size is added to nouns like winter to form verbs, or when a child says foots for feet.
8. a form resulting from such a process.

Discussion:

1. In education, teachers commonly use analogies to introduce something new to students. They compare the new material to something the students already know and understand.
   

Example:

1. A street light is like a star. Both provide light at night, both are in predictable locations, both are overhead, and both serve no function in the daytime.
   

Metaphor

Definition:

1. A metaphor is the expression of an understanding of one concept in terms of another concept, where there is some similarity or correlation between the two
2. A metaphor is the understanding itself of one concept in terms of another
3. A figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our God.”
4. Something used, or regarded as being used, to represent something else; emblem; symbol.

Example:

The following sentences illustrate how the metaphorical understanding of anger-as-fire is expressed:

1. Your insincere apology just added fuel to the fire.
2. After the argument, Dave was smoldering for days
3. That kindled my ire.
4. Boy, am I burned up!

Similes

Definition:

1. a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared, as in “she is like a rose.”
2. an instance of such a figure of speech or a use of words exemplifying it.
3. A simile is a comparison between two things.
4. It is signaled overtly; in English, a simile is expressed by the words like or as.

Example:

1. He had a posture like a question mark.

Lesson 5:

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.
