Our class of creative thinking skills students are required to prove our understanding at certain society issues…Ours, is poverty – one issue considerably hard for us, because its something we never experienced right here in a considerably wealthy South-East Asian country… Which makes the homework harder for us - _ - U

Again, it’s the discussions that’s making up most of the class, and most of the fun which we find the creative thinking skills class so interesting:D

The main requirement of the class is to express ourselves. Our thoughts and knowledge of the chosen topic…

…through squiggling!!! XDXD Yes the main portion of the class is spent on scribbling on 15 (yes, count ‘em, 15!!!) large pieces of Mahjong paper (How large? Maybe some four times the size of our usual “Mind-map making” A3 paper, for a start) spread out on the floor. On the flat classroom floor, tacked together with numerous pieces of sticky masking tape.

We get to write, draw, paint, scribble, doodle, splotch, squiggle and smudge anything we want on the piece of paper (YAY!!!) as long as what we scribbled expresses our ideas and understandings towards the topic.

Of course, this is a job for the energized, creative, artistic students!!! We leave our squiggling to the most creative members in our group.

Peyman, Nadia, Zi Kang and the likes did a great job. Of course, there are contributions of ideas, paint materials, brushes, markers, palettes, watercolours and the like from various contributors. Which would be too vast to list out, because their presence here will easily fill up 99.999% of the blog page – let’s just thank them in our hearts, then move on from here hehe…
We draw, colour and doodle a series of patterns and illustrations that will hopefully help us in our presentation. Illustrations – I wouldn’t call them pictures though – colourful patterns that represents our thoughts and feelings. Of course, in creative thinking class, we don’t talk - we will do anything to express ourselves but talk!!! That’s what creativity is all about . Its all about self-expression!!! Its all about squiggling!!! Its all about patterns!!! Its all about colours!!! Its…

(Oops, sorry about that… going a bit too far out of point…)

Anyway, it’s a long colouring section. That we spent in the entire class, scribbling the same sort of things a first-grade kid would be happy in doing in kindergarten art class (At least we know what are we going to scribble though)
After much scribbling (I’m not gonna tell how much, see for yourself) its time for our presentation!!! That’s right!!! The winners shall get a prize!!!

(No we didn’t win a trip to Paris because that’s not one of the prizes offered…)

Presentation time!!!
But no, we didn’t talk the usual, normal way. We would NOT talk the usual way… that’s no way for CTS students to talk!!! (At least that’s what Mr. Charles said to us)

As for now, let the PICTURES and VIDEOS do the talking!

Hope you enjoy my BS a.k.a. Bull Shit. HAHAHAHA! Signing off..... Bye=]
