'Ingredients' of Doughnut Seat

On the 4th of July, the members of JADeS had their second meeting. The main point was to think of ideas on materials to construct our doughnut seat. We sat outside the library at share the ideas we had.

The two visual puns that are considered outrageous are 'doughnut seat' and 'thumb drive'. And so, here is what we came up with.

IDEAS FOR DOUGHNUT SEAT SCULPTURE

Using a real pillow seat and sewing pink cloth on top.

Constructing the doughnut with newspapers, PVA glue and tissue.

Newspapers, card box, tissue and PVA glue.

Using a swimming tube and applying tissue with PVA glue.

IDEAS FOR THUMB DRIVE SCULPTURE

Using card box.

Using plasticine.

Using bottles, card box, newspapers, tissue and PVA glue.

Using wires, tissue and PVA glue.

We showed Mr. Charles our ideas at class and the sculpture for 'thumb drive' is cancelled out because another group was already working on 'pen drive'. So, we had to work on 'doughnut seat'.

After discussing with the members, we decided to use newspapers, card box, tissue and PVA glue to construct our sculpture.

Visual Puns

Mr. Charles gave us an assignment about visual puns, which is combining two nouns, preferable with a double meaning.

For one week we were given to think of puns and we had to discuss and finalize which ten puns we're going to show to Mr. Charles during tutorials. The ten puns have to be written and sketched on butter paper.

The JADeS members gathered at Starbucks one day and chose ten puns which are

Key-bored

Butter-fly

Under a rest

Keep your valuables under watch

Thumb drive

Coffee table

Under the C

Tooth fairy

Eyes scream

Doughnut seat

After we went for tutorials, 'thumb drive' and 'doughnut seat' were chosen as the more outrageous ones. One of the two puns will then be made into a sculpture.

We have to come up with ideas on materials and how we're going to build our sculpture.

And that is all.

Creative Thinking - First Class

We had our first class at the 31st of July and Mr.Charles told us to bring plasticine, newspapers, markers, strings and wool on orientation week.

First, he gave a briefing about everything about our course. Then, he told us about visual translation, which is to draw or create something that is in your mind. He gave us words and we had to create something using our plasticines within the time limit.

Then, he raised the level by playing some music, and we also had to create something with the plasticines, markers and any other materials we had on an A3 paper before the songs are finished playing.

Here is Danny's creation.

Syafieza's.

And mine (June).

Unfortunately, we do not have Amal's as she didn't do this activity.

We were all listening to the same music, but the results are different, varying from each and everyone of us. So I guess everyone's mind works differently and that is what makes us unique.
