Week 2:Leaping into The Next Yard of Creativity

We work hard to obtain something that we like or need. And upon achieveing it we dwelve in it and get cosy to its nature, thus often choose not to move on or discover others.

"When allowed to do what we want to do, we are most likely to revert to
whatever we previously found enjoyable and/or successful. This amounts to
what I call, “another one of those” artworks. Sad as that is, the worst
part is that the creative process is not being learned." (Marvin Bartel in his blog entitled Teaching Creativity: http://www.goshen.edu/%7Emarvinpb/arted/tc.html )

I find myself being accustomed to the traditional teaching aids that I often use. This is because I not only know how to develpo and use them successfuly but also because they often have received positive response from students. Thus, I never really attempted towards creating something like a video clip. Those vidoe clips I have used before were downloaded from websites, music video or movies clips.

This exposure to create my own video clip is something definitely new for me. Though I have previously used Windows Movie Maker to create vidoe clips, they were hardly educational. Using this entertainmnt tool for educational purpose is very interesting.


Working in groups we planned our project and came up with combining all of our single production into one whole, creating a continuous chain of events that are interrelated. This sounds easy but the difficult part is to develop a story and a continuous event. So, that is exactly what we are doing right now!
