Group 5 (14/7/2016)

Group 5 (14/7/2016)


Hello. It’s us-- Group 5, woo! Our last lesson in Stanford before returning home will be tomorrow, and we are all feeling a bit sentimental, but here goes nothing. Over the course of the first week, we imagined ourselves delightfully bidding the dragging lessons farewell, but time passed as quickly as lightning. To this day, we actually feel gloomy and empty at the end of lessons, kind of like a forgotten bottle floating aimlessly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The first lesson for today was Visual Design Thinking (II). We were thrilled about the lesson because we enjoyed the first part, held two days ago. Though we’re not the biggest fans of art, it certainly wasn’t the lecturer’s fault. We loved him, really. All of us are… let’s just say, less than fond of art. That said, at the end of the lesson, we’re proud to say we’ll be willing to frame it on our walls. Mom and dad would be sooooo proud of me.

Anyway, today’s lesson started off with calligraphy. Yippee! We understood that, according to Mr. Scott, our eyes are “wondrous” things that can apparently compose a perfectly symmetrical drawing. Our business and critical thinking skills were also put into use in the last session, when we designed a car company for the futuristic world.

The second lesson marked the end of our cherished everyday activity of blogging. The lecturer gave us extra information on visual designs and writing styles and tips on beautifying our blogs, and we were very keen to learn more. It was a very productive lecture with a large range of vocabularies and a balanced coaching on the fields of English Writing, Art and ICT, and we felt our brain cells being stimulated and heartily exploding in our minds. As our chirpy and animated lecturer taught us how to breathe air, we realized that we can easily let our stress out.
Preparing for our final presentation was no easy job. After hours of brainstorming and more of our brain cells enthusiastically running around in our mind palaces, we finally came up with a brilliant idea of showing everyone our favorite moment in Stanford. What is our idea?
You’ll just have to wait for tomorrow’s blog!
