SENSE & SENSITIVITY
The only part of creativity we ever really “feel” is the catch of an initial idea or curiosity, or the ping of a possible solution or insight. Everything between is just regular feelings of being and living. But the reality is that creativity feels like a more deliberate, slow understanding and exploration. Creativity is something which cannot be come from one person to another. It comes on its own I think creativity only comes from feeling and emotions. while positive moods promote creativity, flexibility, co-operation, and life satisfaction; sadness sharpens our attention, making us more focused and diligent.
The trigger topics which we get helped us to think in one direction but in a large perspective view and it helps to think more deeply and this also help us to get out of the obvious zone of thinking. When we were doing these topics we were not bounded to make something interesting or attractive we just have to express our feeling and what we sense about that trigger.
Reflection On Sense And Sensitivity :
Sense and sensitivity was very interesting project i really enjoyed that personally because it helped me to increase my senses. i learn that we don't need to make a structure kind of drawing to show or mood we can show that with colors and with other material as well as. like before i never thought of showing anger with the help of waste paper i know this was a bit difficult to show but some where that make sense as well as. i learn color theory in a deep way like how can we show anger, calmness and soo on with different color. before this i ever thought that for anger we only use black and red even dark red but i got to know that we can show anger with other color like brown as well as and mixing also help to show different color. It was informative and fun to learn about sense and sensitivity through videos or a short movies that really teach us a lot. Through this 3 day project I realized that we can depict everything through colors and paper.

CONCLUDING REFLECTIVE WRITING : Art & Design
Art and design this topic is really very confusing and interesting. this conversation is never ending conversation. what is used to thought that art and design is somewhere similar but after studying GOD,SAS i started realizing that this is not a similar this. "DESIGN IS NOT ART" AND "ART IS NOT DESING" everyone have their own perspective. For my point of view art is not about problem solving but basically we ever say that designing is a solution to a problem.
art is about depict our emotion our mood art is something which we create for ourselves we create basically to represent ourselves. art is like a freedom. like the project sense and sensitivity show that freedom to be limitless. Both are part of creativity , both are professions both can be learnt but somehow I feel art is the field which you are born with it. art is basically a talent. This is ongoing debate and never ending debate about art and design.
STRUGGLES :
our group had a lack of understanding and everyone had a lack of communication
During the process of inquiry in the beginning we got much confused about what information should be collected or which should not be collected
our 2 of the group members was not active during inquiry.
understanding of Visual and Material Culture was a bit difficult for me
During preparation Of final group presentation everyone have different views and ideas but because the lack of communication we didn't get our final idea in good manner
we got struggles during the editing of the final presentation
our Time management
ACHIEVEMENTS :
In the end we somehow manage to complete our work.
While understanding visual language of selected piece : I think I have done good job in recreate and abstract, colors made work more visually appealing
While understanding visual and material culture one of my group members (Riva Bansal) clear my doubts
During the process of inquiry we covered almost of the points which we have decided to cover
ON TEAM WORK
Struggles : Confusion, overlapping
Achievements : equal distribution of work with one of my group member
SUGGESTIONS TO WORK IN GROUP
Always communicate much more
Help each other
Give peer reviews to each other honestly
Equal division of work
No burden on one person

NOTES / KEY TAKES FROM THE TALKS
TALK 1
STYLE, STYLISTIC EVOLUTION & NOTION OF ZEITGEIST
Through this talk i got to know about deterministic evolution , history of western art as i didn't heard before like about the zeigeist, history of western art, evolution ,chitras etc. it was really new for me to know about history of western art . before i don't have much of the interest in history i ever start getting bored while listing history. i learned about the concept of riti and style and how they are similar to each other with different concept. i was able to relate this topic the most because my previous project was whole about European art like romanticism.
He had explained about the beauty in Kushan period and the sculptures of women , contrast their perception of themselves with the reality. and the royal art of Kushan period was really fascinating because it seems real and feels connected . I started making connections with other sculptures as well despite of being not interested about history.
At last it was an amazing experience to get knowledge about the western and Indian concepts of art.
TALK 2
CLOTHING: AN OVERVIEW
This talk was much interesting for me i really loved to gain knowledge about clothing. I used to always believe that clothing means fashion and fashion is about style, or fashion is something which depicts culture , status , period and so on..... this talk help me to make connections to my previous project For example Culture ( Characteristics, patterns ,beliefs , habits etc. shared by group of people) , I know about Culture,( Tangible and Intangible aspects too). But this talk also broaden my view about culture, material and non material culture. Non Material culture deals with norms , briefs, practices while Material culture deals with physical object. after listening Prof. Archana Shastri session there are so many things that has cleared. this presentation has shown the journey of how clothes born and the evolution of clothing . like In today's time we have different variety of cloths ,but in ancient time it depends the availability of material we all know that how people used to cover their body by using natural material there wasn't different method like woven and stitched cloths at that time. in this presentation also they use of Buffalo horn symbols in Nagaland, symbolizing prosperity . She also focus on signs and symbols how cloths symbolizes different part of the world . overall clothing is what which show the culture
and in presentation mam had shown various techniques and some popular
embroidery in different states that depicts their culture . and one thing also what I was amazed to know that embroidery in neck and chest parts were started to protect or hide breasts. While later on it become a fashion statement.
