Definations

MADE UP CURIOSITY

Today, I've decided to re-look into the definitions of each words that are the highlight of my project. I wanted to find out if a second look at them will stir new ideas hence I went back to basics. They are Made up and Curiosity.

The other new word which I want to include is Chemistry.

So this is how I found the common areas they share and how they can link to each another. Hence I came up with some equations that can make it better to understand.

Curiosity : A quality related to inquisitive thinking such as exploration, investigation and learning. 
A behaviour caused by emotion of curiosity, thirst for knowledge.
 A major driving force behind scientific research.

Made up : Having being fabricated / invented

Chemistry : Any or all of the elements that make up something

Chemical substances - Chemical characteristics 
Characteristics - Personalities 

Chemistry = Made up : A mixture of substances that will make one curious about what they will achieve. Eg : In chemistry class, we are also curious about what we are going to end up with

Also involving my hypothesis which is the usage of the five senses :

Curiosity + Five senses : Using the 5 senses to enhance one's curiosity

Chemistry apparatus : Art direction

Inspirideas

Random lifestyle objects that provides so many random ideas. All steering towards the idea of curiosity and the usage of glass/plastic that are transparent. Threw in random words and thoughts that came into my head while collecting these visuals.

Light bulb : Ideas, I've got an idea, lighting up

Light up your curiosity

Light bulb x Glass jar

Jar consist of things, things that makes people curious

Transparent

Allow people to see through the things inside

An idea that I find it brilliant, it combines both the elements of light and glass. Almost an idea like, e.g : My curiosity lighted up after being curious about the things inside

The last idea I have which is to Grow your curiosity! / Plant your curiosity!

This above image is inspiring and suitable as it uses a chemical flask to plant.

I am hoping in the next semester, I can take on another approach to make my project more interactive and fun, not so strict and not so "educational". I am hoping to drive it towards the idea of 

- Getting out of the design solution idea

- Being curious / enhance curiosity in general

- Create situations that makes people curious

Semester One Assesment

The final layout of all my works for semester one during assessment. It was a little too over crowding on the table but I think each and every piece of work lying there has a message to send and were necessary. I am quite contented with the final outcome, however I wish I can do better for the next semester. And perhaps, if possible change the branding and whole look of the project as they does not really look like a whole set as of now.

For assessment feedback they were as such :

- Improve on the proficiency of software skills
- Contextualize the experiments in order to produce a range of potential and more relevant solutions
- Craftsmanship : greater attention to detail and sensitivity in production and presentation
- Critical thinking : greater degree of analysis and reflection with regards to appropriateness in design decisions
- CPJ : consider designing to curate unique and creative work process

"Pass it on"

Chanced upon something nice in a magazine on my first day of work for the monocle pop-up store. Not just that the illustrations were interesting because they were actually paper cutting montage, the contents caught my attention. It was about doing something nice for others that just requires a little of some one and all this small gestures can do big things for others. Which I thought all the suggestions will work and I was just pondering how wonderful it would if my project was about kindness. Kindness is not directly linked to my curiosity project, but I guess I can extract a little bit of this awesome project and consider to use it for one of my outcomes in future or even for a self project. Now, pass this on!
