Class take away 10

For this week class take away, I didn't feel like going to class, so used my bike and riding around my house.

I love the feeling of the wind blow to my face, it feel free and relax.

I'm a thinker, I think a lot, but when I'm riding bike, I didn't think at all my mind is empty, and it felt great.

I think riding bike is another way for me to work on my stuff. While I was riding, few of the ideas came up to my mind, about my previous homework for this class and another class. 

A new way to get it done, or I could done it better with that way. So riding bike is really helpful for me.

During our class today, we were talking about our past homework, which is call " The flavor of ____ sounds like ..." The assignment wanted us to taste something that we haven't taste it before, and after tasted it, come up with a word that we got from the food. Then try to make something creative with that word.

My word was "weird" I did go to eat sushi, and I got that word from the sushi, because I think it tasted weird. It's more than just weird, it has too many senses combine in there.

The professor give us a small assignment that relative to our past homework. 

The first part of the assignment our professor give each of us a blank white paper. And wanted to use our hands make the paper look like the word we picked for our past assignment. 

My word was weird, I used my hands ripping it into pieces and use those pieces to make a word weird. I forgot to keep them after I done, so there is no picture of the first part I did.

For the second part, she giving us another blank white paper, but this time we could use pencil or everything we want. Everyone will has at least a word from the first part and going to the second part of the assignment. We can draw, or write anything that relative to the word. For this part, I did write a lot, I wrote the definition of the of weird in my perspective. And here is the paper that I wrote on.

 

The flavor of ___ sounds like...

For this assignment, I tried to taste something that I haven't taste before, and It's sushi. 

The first time I eat sushi was on campus, with my friend. She's Japanese, and have really good knowledge about sushi. First time is not the worse one, I had to go to the bathroom 3 times, for my first time. My friend said the sushi in here is not good, it doesn't taste like the one that she used to eat. 

So she took me to her workplace which is a Sushi Restaurant. The sushi in the restaurant made by Japanese, the real one. 

I ordered the shrimp one. It tasted so weird, I know there were 4 different senses in there but I can't name them. Maybe because I never eat it before. 

I barely kill myself by doing it. I was throwing so hard for eating it, barely make it out alive. And when I tried to remember the senses of it. It all a mess for me, a weird taste that combining between shrimp, soy sauce, rice, and wasabi.

For me tasting sushi giving me a result of weird. So I will base on that to create something that look weird and here is it.

Balance

Emphasis

For this week take away, I experienced something really fun during our class. We were discussion about our latest assignment which is. Who are you and why are you here?

Since I didn't go to class on last week, I missed out something from the assignment, and I did something that have no relative to our assignment.

But our professor says, it doesn't matter that I didn't get it done like it should be, what matter is I did it.

During our class today, one of the guy in the classroom, came up and share his assignment with us. It was about the audio, how he done it and make it tell us who he is and why he is here.

Then later in class our professor brought up something really interesting me. It was about the music from the tree, how the guy in the clip done it. I mean it really cool to listen to it
I know tree can make sounds but I never could imagine that you can make music out from a tree.

Who are you and why are you here?

For this exercise, do something with the blind contour drawing we were given in class that explores the two questions: 

Since I didn't come to class on that day because I was sick. So I didn't have a chance to draw someone, or the exercise. 

But I will try my best to answer it, without drawing. 

Who am I? 

- I'm just like anyone else, want to graduate from college, get a job, and do something that I love. I've been here for seven years now, first time I got here is really tough. I didn't know how to speak English at all, the first year was the toughness one. Then I started getting use to the life I have here, learning, and now I'm junior in college, one more year until I graduate.

Why am I here?

- I'm here to be a game designer, I starting play game when I was seven years old. At first I started playing offline game on PC, really fall in love with it. Then I wish one day in the future I can be a game designer, and I'm also a gamer. The dream for all the game designer is to make their own game. 

The main point that I want to be a game designer is I can play game while I'm working which I really enjoy doing it. I spent most of my time playing games, learning, studying and having fun with it. So I think that's the reason why am here.
