Class Exercise 1


A surprising yet not so surprising start to this module - I mean, I expected a lot of drawing, but I didn't expect such an unusual open-ended question. Anyway, we were told to sketch a machine that enhances creativity by 100 times! We didn't have to use CG or any fancy materials, just regular pen and/or pencil. My design was this new-agey 'Thinking Cap' that comprised of a lightweight stainless steel band which could be fitted snugly and comfortably under any hat of the wearer's choice.

In case you can't read what I wrote, I shall retype if here:
LABELLING ON THE DIAGRAM - there are electrical contacts on the inside of the brain which come into contact with temples. When activated, these contacts will stimulate relevant brain cells (or neurones) via electronic impulses, which will stimulate faster and more dynamic thinking procsses.

"The right side of the brain is primarily associated with creativity. The electrical contacts of my machine only come into contact with this sideo f the head. When activated, electronic impulses -much like those exchanged by our brain cells during normal brain activity - will be sent through these contacts to stimulate the brain cells there. These cells will be stimulated into firing electrical impulses at higher rates than normal, accelerating brain activity and increasing the potential for more creative ideas formed."

Haha..as you can, I used to be quite the science nerd. Felt quite silly after I saw all the fun stuff the other people were drawing. Oh well.
