Introduction of Creative Studies

WEEK ONE
TOPIC : INTRODUCTION OF CREATIVE STUDIES

This is the first topic given during the first week of class and the topic is "Creative Studies". Actually, i missed the class because of my late registration. Although i did not go to the class, but i have something to say about Creative Studies.

Okay, for me, creative studies is a new way, new ideas of education. It consist of some characteristics that differentiate it from the normal studies. It consists the ability to perceive the world, education in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to generate solutions - generating new fresh ideas of solutions.

Creative studies is fostered in organizational cultures that value independent thinking, risk taking, and learning. It opens the communication, a high degree of trust and respect between individuals are crucial. It aims to develop our critical and intellectual abilities as well as allowing us the opportunity to engage and explore many different areas of creative practice.
There many subjects related to creative studies like Professional Writing, Film Studies, Theater and Performance Studies, Journalism, Media, and New Media Studies.Creative studies is the best way of education. What i mean here is that creative studies includes more than just words, equations, facts. It includes pictures, videos, figures. Things like this will encourage us, makes our lessons more fun than usual.


This is an example of creative mind map in creative studies.

Creative studies is not always about reading, solving equations, remembering facts but, it include designing, art, creating and many more!














These are some examples of creative works. So, as you can see all the pictures. Creative studies is not just education, its about FUN!

REFLECTIONS ON LESSONS LEARNED

Creative studies help us to manage our studies in much more better way. It helps us in the way of our thinking. Art and design processes help us develop fresh thinking through imagination, intuition, and exploring.

I think this is all i can say about creative studies for now.

I hope i can apply this creative studies way in my study. To have a better understanding in certain things. To make my study become easier and faster.
