Altering Perception Activity-1

INTRODUCTION

Today was the first day of our think lab. We got to learn that how we can use our creativity to perceive different things from more than one perspectives.

-Perception for me refers to the way an individual perceives or understands things from his or her own point of view.

WARM-UP

During the warm-up activity we all were divided in a group of five people and my group was given the shape of a five sided star. We all came up with our own set of ideas and had a healthy discussion on as to how are we going to associate the star with objects and different geometric forms. In the starting we faced a little problem in explaining each other our ideas but gradually we overcame the communication gap. I came up with different geometric formations with our 5 sided star shape.

MAIN ACTIVITY

The main activity was a bit more fun as we interacted more and were able to come up with a lot of new ideas. Our letter was T and I looked around my surroundings for objects that I could associate with letter T and clicked their pictures.

T-shape Object Association

REFLECTION-

There is always more to what we see as today I learnt that we can associate a lot of things with a single shape or object.
I learnt that working in a group makes a few things easier and a few things difficult. For example what made it easier was that we got a lot of out of the box ideas while discussing about our shape, but time management became a bit difficult as we were working separately and everyone took there own time while working and we had to rush a bit at the end with our work.
I reflected today that time is precious as we were given a time limit to work under and wasting time was not even an option.
I realised today that I am good at associating shapes with objects as I was able to find 5-6 objects associating with the letter T in my own surroundings.
I also realised that I need to work upon 3D object formation as faced difficulty while doing it.
