'Normal greeting'! How are the readers of this blog feeling today?
Now, the second last post of the creative studies is about creativity in art design and multimedia. On how it has existed since the dawn of man, probably. And has continue to evolve and change in time.
So that's the jizz of this post. So why don't we get started then shall we?
Oh? You notice the 'second last post of the creative studies'? Yup. That says it all. Now onward!
Now, let's take an example of creativeness in art design back then, 'Dada' or 'Dadaism'.
Dadai or Dada or Dadaist is an art movement by the European avant-garde in the earlier 20th century. Started at Zurich, Switzerland in the year 1916, the spread to Britain afterwards. Dada is known to be quoted as 'The language of Art Knowledge'
An example of Dadaist artwork named 'Cut with the Dada kitchen knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly of the Weimar Republic' By Hannah Höch in the year 1919.
The artwork itself prides on being illogical, weird, nonsensical and just plain weird. Dada was a movement that was established in the response to the horrors of 'World War I' in which Dadaists saw as the effect of gripping way too tightly to logic.
What makes this art form incredible is that these works are still popular in modern visual communication even though Dadaism was started like a century ago. So, what appeals to the contemporary audience is its nature to challenge the way you see and understand things.
However, Dada is just one of the art form that has stood strong in the ever changing of time. There are many form of art that is still alive and well used in modern society.
Have you ever wonder of how Mythical creature ever came to looked? Notably, try to imagine a Dragon of a second.
Probably this is how you see a dragon. Look at it carefully and you would be on how you never notice it. Notice what? Well, having scales like a fish or claw that looks like a chicken's claw or a bird's claw or etc.
You should have realize by now that this creature was a hybrid of many different animals and creatures. Have you ever taught of how in the world that they are able to imagine such idea. And to think that this process of Juxtaposition became the symbol of Chinese culture through the ages.
It shows on how creativity has existed for a long period of time and how it creates things that has last.

So, as a young creative designer of today, we are encourage to create a new art form. Using the art forms of the past is acceptable for references and such. And if possible, try to be original rather than a new version of the old one.
Guess that's all for this week then...
See ya for the last Creative Studies Blog. This has been... well... Muhammad Zulhilmi Shaharuddin, MZbS, 1122700285.
