Today, in class we watched two films one was called Powers of Ten it was about relative size things, distance from earth to the universe and how big and small things are. First, it stared in this scene about a picnic then it started zooming out and then you start seeing the city it becoming smaller, then you saw the clouds, the earth, the planets, the stars, galaxies etc…Then, it started zooming in into a man’s hand and you start seeing the surface of the hand, skin layers, red blood cells, white cells, DNA, modules, and, nucleus. It was an interesting film because it showed the earth, the space, the city from an aerial perspective. Also, it showed al the layers in our hands. Before, the second film started Jimmy asked us why man creates. Man creates to use things in daily life, utility, for pleasure, self-expression, to escape, to explore, to communicate etc…I never thought about that question before and make me think about it. I also thought that we don’t pay too much attention of asking why things are the way they are. The second film was called why man creates? It started as a series of steps from 1 to 7.1.The edifice: it was about what people have invented such the train, light, music, dynamite.2: Fooling around: playing, having fun starting doodling.3: The process: Coming with ideas of nowhere maybe by accident, start developing ideas and convert them into something.4.The Judgment: Society making contribution.5: A parable and 6.A digression.7.The search: work in progress on new ideas. Do research to come up with an idea that gives possible results. Over all, it was a learning experience for all of us. After, we did our story telling with our pictures and it was fun seeing what people come up with. Today it was fun and also I got a little bit scared when jimmy talked about expressing our age with Binary numbers because I’m not good at math at all. In fact, I didn’t know what Binary numbers were.

A lot of times we don't ask our self that type of questions. Jimmy asks us questions that you don't really think about in our daily lifes. I kind of like it when we have to really think about these kinds of questions, Why do me create?
ReplyDeleteYou werent the only one. Jimmy is like an earthquake, you never know when hell strike and how hard he'll strike.
ReplyDeleteThe film was interesting, no one so far would have thought of doing something like that. Also, like others mentioned the Simpsons…I didn’t notices that the introduction arrived from that movie :)
