METHOD:

 

Observation is the process of perceiving something or someone carefully or to gain information or understanding. Imagination is described as the ability to form new ideas, images, or concepts that aren’t present to the senses. I don’t think the imagination runs without some kind of fuel, and one of that is observation. 

 

Observe the classroom, draw the objects in the classroom with simple shapes (like points and lines) then arrange these shapes randomly. Finally, create new scenes by looking at these simple shapes. Hope to figure out how observation and imagination interact with each other.

​

REFLECTION:

​

Even if some events that feel like inspiration/imagination are more about the connection of disparate ideas than they are about an idea coming to me out of nowhere. The imagination cannot runs without observation. We have to start with an observation, with some kind of phenomena that have been either observed or taken in.
