Use of Nothingness

You know everything, you are nothing!You know nothing, you are everything!

33

Use of Nothingness

Imagine:A white board is useful when it is empty. Once it was filled with scribbling, it is useless.

34

Use of Nothingness

One can eat because one is hungry.One can learn because one is empty!

35

Use of Nothingness

One can be creative because one knows nothing about what s/he is doing. And once you don’t know, there you have room to grow.

36

Use of Nothingness

To be creative…..=To be empty!

37

Use of Nothingness

As an educator, we are trained to “feed” students and make them full.

38

Use of Nothingness

As a creative educator, we are trying to “feed” them with knowledge and then empty them out.

39

Use of Nothingness

To empty your students, empty yourself first. The greatest enemy in creativity is always you – yourself!!!!

40

Use of Nothingness

Enjoy knowing nothing, then you will know everything out of nothing; and then empty out and being nothingness again.

Design a project

To design a design project, there are some points we teachers need to pay attention into.

43

Design a project

We have to find a theme suitable for students. How can we find this?

Ask the student.

Treat yourself as a student.

44

Design a project

We have to find the NEED suitable for design activity.

But, what is the Need?

45

Design a project

The NEED can be at different levels: To student To teacher To school

46

Design a project

To parents To Education Department To society To China To mankind

47

Design a project

To me, the NEED is to stimulate students independent and innovative thinking, to develop confident and to self-transcend.

48

Design a project

There is a well known problem in Design education issued by ED????(Not sure)

The ill-defined design problem.

49

Design a project

To me, there is NO ill-defined design problem, there is only ill-conceptual and “lazy” thinker.

50

Design a project

A design project should be full of fun, challenges, interesting and worth learning. If most of the students do not like the project, it is a poor project.

Fun is the key in Creativity.

51

Design a project

The theme should be closely related to students’ knowledge, experience and / or familiar environment. It may be useful sometimes for students to decide their themes.

52

Design a project

The theme should have room for interpretation. If the design project falls into the subordinate area, teacher must help students to find the way out.

53

Design a project

The project brief should clearly describe the situation of the problem, the criteria, resources available, content / context to be covered, submission and DEADLINE.

54

Design a project

Plan carefully the content you are going to conduct within the lessons, and examine the feasible possibilities. If you know the outcome already, it is not a good project.

55

Design a project

Encourage students to challenge the theme, to interpret it, to analyze it, question it and even propose anti-theme for the project.

56

Design a project

Personal tutorial is very useful for teacher to read students’ mind. This can arouse their creativity because you teacher feels interesting and do care about how they think.

57

Design a project

Encourage students to make full use of their knowledge not only within the design domain but everything they know for the project.

58

Design a project

Exhibit or record down students’ works and show your appreciation for their affords. Give full marks if they deserved, and write comments on their works.

59

Design a project

Teaching students to be creativity means killing teachers’ time and patient. The more you contribute, the more you yourself to be proud of. You can master creativity!

60

What is Culture?Culture is what’s shared by a large group and transmitted across generations – ideas, languages, beliefs, attitudes, behaviors and traditions.

Culture

61

It is also a collective value system for a nation to think, analyze, criticize and agree with specific issues. Culture is a living social organism, which transcend through time.

Culture

62

Different types of Culture:

1. High Culture

2. Popular Culture

3. Sub Culture

Culture

63

We have to know the cultural background of our situation and the participants under any creative works. Why?

Culture

64

So that you know their history, need, their value judgments, beliefs, and most important, you know how they think and interpret.

Culture

65

Citizens within a specific culture can communicate effectively not only because they speak the same languages, but also think and interpret things in similar attitudes under the same value system.

Culture

66

Under the same culture, citizens will understand the specific signs and symbols using in their premises, which are really difficult for the outsider to decipher.

Culture

67

The signs and symbols must echo to the consumers’ daily lives in order to activate the consumption desire. However, most consuming intention is unconscious and super-ego.

Culture

68

Signification can only happened under the umbrella of the same culture, and the signifier becomes the idealist practice of one’s wish.

Culture

69

Nowadays, consumption is cohere with culture. Despite the fact that Globalism becomes one of the horrible threat of Nationalism, creativity still stick to the end users.

Culture

70

Knowing you (students; parents and significant others) and knowing me (teacher) is a Chinese slang, which is true whenever you wanted to initiate any new and creative move within educational domain.

Culture
