Creative Studies 4-Juxtaposition (Continued)

We continued the lesson with a picture of a "CHILLI" and we need to write a poem on it based on the concept of "LOVE".


My love for you is like red chilli,
You make me hot, burning me,
Every bite makes me dizzy,
Your curvy shape excites me.

There are a few more images to choose and their concepts to write on.

Here, is to describe "HAPPINESS" with "TIME".


Time means happiness to me, 
The more time we spent together,
The more happy I became,
Every time is our time, 
For you are the best time of my life. 


This is to describe the "BURNING CANDLE" with "LIFE".


Life is like a burning candle,
The more it burns the shorter it is,
Slowly ripping off every inch of me,
Extinguishing my final soul.

The final one is to describe the concept of  "MAN" or "WOMAN" with "MORTAR" and "PESTLE"


Woman is the pestle while man is the mortar,
No matter how hard it pounds to him,
It is still hard and tough.

Creative Studies 4-Juxtaposition

JUXTAPOSITION???
What is juxtaposition? 
JUXTA- means near, nearby or close while POSITION means place/placing.
Therefore, juxtaposition is the act of placing something close together. More accurately side-by-side as an act to show comparison of similarities or differences.

This week's topic is a bit confusing for me as juxtaposition are divided into many types like similes, metaphors, logical analogy & affective anology.


Similes-Using "like" or "as". Example, as blind as a bat.
Metaphors-Does not use "like" or "as" but instead comparing 2 things with some similarities. Example, it is raining cats and dogs.
Logical analogy-Comparison of the body structure and function of something with another. Example, the eagle  is compared to the aeroplane-both can fly in the sky.
Affective analogy-Direct to the point mostly uses animal resemblance. Example, He is like a skunk (He stinks)


In class, we were given these words. We have to choose 3 pair of numbers from 00-99. I had chosen 04, 44, 48.

Then, we build sentences from the words of those numbers and draw out based on the sentences we wrote.

1. The killing fly walk up the snowy mountain.

2. The bright light shines over the small mountain.

3. Dirty oil is poured out by the gaint mountain.

Lastly combining both word into 1 images.





Later on we are asked to combine 2 animals and make 3 of them. This is what I came out of.
