The Second Workshop, also started with the same question: What Media is? (I think it’s the main issue through this course), by using the way of group discussion instead of thinking individually, a great chance for us getting closer with our ‘group member’ (or classmates at the same desk?), right?
Then, the main activity had come, were also the one that impresses me the most, the Thinking Hats Game. In the Media 1 version, there are 4 kinds of hats in total:
Yellow Positive, being Optimistic
Red Emotional, the Intuition
Black Critical, point out the weak point
Green Be Creative, think of Alternative ways
This is a game that held in a group, each one would be any of hat randomly at every turn, providing comments to our group mate’ s Self-portrait in different perspective.
Well, it’s an excellent chance to get reviews of our works in different ways, no matter positive and negative, by person with different characteristics, and making further adjustments. However, I think A Hat could only let us ‘Try’ to think stuff in an exact way that’s been assigned, it’s not that easy to turn an extremely positive student start thinking negatively, they would be a kind of hard to be adapted in this game. Another example, Would it be pretty difficult to let a scientific person try thinking artistically?
Anyway, I had actually received some very useful comment, like we have to set a title/theme for our videos, what are we going to present with it, and we have to try being creative all the time, as well as, hearing positive opinions could literally let us feel better, isn’t it?
