It was a relaxed lesson for the final week as we were task to do what we do best - unleash our creativity. A slide of different objects were shown and another slide of different emotions continued. We were task to merge an object with 6 of the emotions shown, and create an artwork expressing both together. I choose the plug.. god knows why but I didn't think too much about it. Andmy set of expressions were sad, brace, creative, greedy, hard-working and passionate. Below are what I came up with:
Starting with the 'passionate plug', I thought of it as though it was an intimate relationship. With that, I created the shape of the plug in a 'tight lingerie' and 'luscious lips'. As for the 'sad plug', the idea revolved around tears, which I thought was the most expressive when real people are sad. Thus, the plug was shaped like a tear-drop. The 'brave plug' was the one I really liked. I thought nothing would be more brave of a person to touch an open wire. Thus, I took away the casing of a normal plug and had just the wires and heads which meant, only one who's that brave will use that plug. The 'creative plug' was a so-called experiment. I didn't have any ideas while I was drawing and just let the ink of my marker flow as and when I felt like a curve was needed. After drawing, I thought it actually looks like a warrior wit's head gear (?). The 'greedy plug' was the easier to illustrate. As I thought of myself being greedy at times, I thought of how 'kiasu' the plug can be. Thus I had a lot more heads to the plug so that when it's in use, it could fit anywhere and at any side. The 'hard-working plug' came from the simplest idea. I thought of it as offering more to the user and extended the length of it's heads so that it would conduct more electricity with the extended surface.
And there you go, the few little creations that I was rather proud of. I even thought 1 or 2 of them could invented as a real product?
Cheers!
