Reflection:

Through this collection of old objects to make interesting new objects, I feel that art really comes from ordinary life. If everyone can find special perceive these objects in life, then art will no longer have a threshold.This time, the theme was objects. In the class, the teacher showed us a lot of very meaningful and interesting gadgets, and we made a lot of playable objects using materials around us. When creating a work, I always wonder whether it is the objects and techniques that should support the idea, or whether it is to realize the idea that drives you to learn a certain technique or to find a certain material to express your idea, and this has always bothered me. Because many times my ideas are not perfectly expressed because of the limitations of my technical ability or the limitations of the objects. That is, for example, when I draw a picture, my drawing skills may not be able to reproduce the picture in my mind, and I also encounter the same problem in the MAGI study. In this assignment, I reflected that when I need to do an assignment that relies on objects, I should look for objects that I can use first when I am short of time and then do my imagination based on these objects, and when I am not so short of time and I can wait for the logistics or collect these objects, I can use my imagination to spread my mind. When I think of a work that I really want to do, then I can search for these items for this work. This is the tip I learned from this assignment. In this assignment, I chose the bottle cap as my object, but I couldn't fully understand this theme, probably because of the language problem or my thinking, because in the previous semester, the CPS course also had this theme, but my work didn't quite fit this theme. In this class, I made a calendar with bottle caps, but the result was still not satisfactory, so I have been exploring the plasticity and playability of this theme, which is very important to me. This is very helpful to develop my game thinking. Although my major is animation game and interactive media, I don't know anything about game and interactive media because the direction I choose is 2D animation involving some 3D models all the time. However, through the ADP course, I have also become very interested in interactive media. I think it is a very interesting discipline, and interactive media is a very meaningful setting, to some extent it combines installation art and modern computer technology, and even performance art. Nowadays, a lot of design has abandoned the pursuit of beauty in art and the ideas and personal philosophy that designers and animators want to convey in their work. People are no longer pursuing art as a reflection of design, but rather practicality and usability. However, in the App course, the instructor focused more on personal ideas and the development of new ideas on old technologies, which is also a kind of innovation and I think it is very useful to open up our minds. This class has made me very interested in interactive media, but I don't know enough about this direction yet. In the future, I will pay more attention to this direction of study and find some interactive media works to watch outside of class to increase my knowledge in this area so that I have more basic knowledge to support the work I want to complete. or media. I have always thought that interactive media is a form of game that allows others to participate, but through this course, I found out that it is not that simple, and that interactive media also includes the designer's personal philosophy. I hope I can try this aspect more in the future ADP courses.
