Week 7 : Analogical Thinking

Exercise 1 

Familar Environment

 

Metal is my main focus for familar environment. 

With metal , it keeps the structures strong and stable so it will not easily wear and tear. Furthermore , it is able to withstand harsh thunderstorm weather. 

Fan is used to keep us cool during the humid weather. The cover that protects the blade of the fan has hole that allows the diffusion of air. Furthermore , the metal in the fan keeps the different parts of the fan in place . 

Bicycle is a form of transportation. It is also eco friendly. With metal in it , the user on it is able to have a stable grip . Furthermore, it is strong so it is able withstand the user's weight so the user can comfortably ride on the bicycle without having to worry of any dangers. 

Window shield provide safety to our family members. For example , toddlers like to crawl and climb onto chairs and other furnitures . With window shield it protect us from falling & also give us the grip. It is also make in a way where we can breathe . 

 Lamp post enables vehicles drivers to see clearly for other cars and dangers around when night comes. For example, looking out for passerbys or speeding cars . Thus , it prevents any accident from occurring .

Boards are used for advertising purposes and can also be used to help us when we are in need of help . For example , when we are travelling somewhere that we are unsure , we can always check the board as it would guide us to our destination. 

Exercise 2  

The metal used is corrugated metal.  

It was bend and mold the ribbed metal into curvilinear forms. This opens one's imagination to new ideas you haven't  considered. This ceiling shows you how one material can bring about a new sense of design with metallic finishes.

 Metals spoons used to support potted plants . 

 Metals used to make accessories such as the rings above. 

Week 7 : Analogical Thinking

3 objects in class

This bun net used by ballerinas to keep their hair neat and away from their face when they are dancing. Becasue of its grids in the net, it reminds me of a fishing net used by fisherman.

This flexible ruler used in mathematics for drawing curve graphs, reminds me of a dancer. This is because it can bend into many shapes such as circle, rectangle, triangle and square.

This staples are use to staple work together so that it is neat and organise. The staples reminds me of a road tunnel due to its shape when it is place down.

3 objects from the internet


This is a hand fan. It is used to keep yourself cool during the humid weather. It reminds of a Pinnidale seashell because of its shape of  a fan out semicircle.


This is a picture of an caucasian lady with wavy hair. Her wavy hair reminded me of the crashing sea waves on the beach.


This is a straightening iron.It is used to straighten hair through using the heat from the hot iron. It reminds me of a stapler because of the way it function of how you hold both handle and press and then hold to straighten the hair.

Week 10 : Force Connection 2

The 5 objects are a calculator, spectacle case, a set of markers, wallet and a packet of ruled cards. Inside the spectacle case contain a spectacle, this allows me to see my items clearly. The calculator is for me to calculate numbers from addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. After I have gotten my desired answer, I then take one of the markers and write the questions on the ruled cards. Next, I will bring my written ruled cards and test it on the streets so as to see who is able to answer it. The person that get five of my ruled card correctly answered will win cash. The cash will be given from my wallet. This is the story that I have made up from using the 5 objects taken from this photograph.

Week 8 : Analogical Thinking 2

This shows emotion of fear. The sculpture shows the person is hanging and clunging himself tightly on the two branches so that he would not fall down. Furthermore, the person is gritting his teeth this shows that he is scared. 

This sculpture shows emotions of anger. This can be seen from his expression made from his eyes such that it is bulging out and frowning fiercely directly towards you. Furthermore, his mouth is curved and is facing downwards with teeth showing . In addition, his body is leaning forward as his hand is placed at the back of his thigh ands legs bending.
