Creative Multimedia

ART DEVELOPS OUR BRAIN TO BE CREATIVE

The first thing comes in our mind when it comes to creative multimedia is Faculty of Creative Multimedia. We try to figure out the meaning of creative multimedia and we decided that it was actually two different words that have its own meaning. The term of creative is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. And multimedia is a transmission that combines media of communication such as text, graphics, audio, animation and video. From the term itself, we come up with five elements represent creative multimedia which is design, social media, tools, innovation and art. Those elements involve many factors that makes it powerful tool in delivering information especially art in creative multimedia.

Art history spans the entire history of humankind, from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century. In modern times, art history has emerged as a discipline that specializes in teaching people how to evaluate and interpret works of art based on their own perspective. Art history has frequently been criticized for its subjectivity because the definition of what is beautiful varies from individual to individual. Learning to evaluate what we see by building on the art forms we already know can develop our aesthetic understanding.

The main purpose of art is the expression of boundless ideas and concepts. Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging symbolic elements in a way that influences and affects the senses, emotions, and/or intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings. There are so many types of art and also various medium are used to make art. The media used often influences the form and it is different for various artists.

In creative multimedia, artist often use digital as a medium. They have many levels of artist such as amateur, beginner and professional. Amateur and beginner artist usually among students, freelance and newbie in the industry. There are also professional freelancers. But for professional’s artist, they usually hired in a well-known or big company and make lot of money from it and because of that their work obviously high risk with extra tension.

There are many places where we can find art. For education, there are a lot of university and college that offers art or art-related courses such as One Academy, Multimedia University and Lim Kok Wing University. There are also galleries about art in
Malaysia located in KLCC, Central Market and Shah Alam. Nowadays, people often use internet to promote and shows their artwork to everyone.

Art plays a large part in making our lives infinitely rich. Imagine, just for a minute, a world without art. Art is our everyday lives that we may hardly even stop to think about it. Look at the desk or table right this minute. Someone designed that. It is art. All functional design, well done, is art. So, art is something that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing to our eyes. On the other hand, art stimulates different parts of our brains to make us laugh or incite us to riot, with a whole gamut of emotions in between. Art develops our brain to be creative.

Juxtaposition

Friday, 16 July 2010

In this week, we have learned about juxtaposition. In my personal reflection. Juxtaposition is placing two variable side by side in order to get comparison. Usually turning something familiar to something not so familiar or vice-versa. Juxtaposition(literary), with contrast, two objects or texts oppose each other. Contrast is a relationship between two discourse segments. Example: It's raining, but I am not taking an umbrella.

Juxtaposition also can apply in emotion, abstract concepts or character. In the Movie 'Lost' season 1 was used in the lecturer for juxtaposition. For example: Chaos/Calm, East/West and so on.
