Thursday, Feb 23rd, debates

On Thursday, Jimmy talked about our final project for the first half of the class. During the class, one student had said that fear causes one to not do anything and another student spoke out in disagreement by stating that fear pushes one to do things. And Jimmy had found this fascinating. Somehow the class became sort of a talk show where Jimmy was the talk show host asking questions to the two students in disagreement. The rest of the students became the audience. He eventually had four students take one side and another four students on another side as to debate with each other. One of the students had tried to prove her point by stating one thing that causes the fear of not doing anything is was because of the fear from the unknown. Another student proceeded to give an example of fearing to do work because of not knowing what to do. Another student then debated by using the Concept Development class as an example that because of the unknown, it was pushing him to do more work. There was then a discussion amongst other students who also agreed that the concept development class was a very different experience towards how their other classes were. I also agree with the majority of students that spoke out. That the class was significantly different from previous classes that I had taken. This class is very philosophical towards finding yourself that also allows you to critically think about reasons towards certain subjects. Reasons and solutions that might help towards your own projects or own self. Another student also mentioned that there was a lot of psychology usage in the class. A question of psychology and design then arose as to how they were related to each other, which had several reasons such as how design focuses on trying to find a solution towards a problem. Normally it would be a visual problem that would require one to see so to fix the problems, one would have to think about a person's cognitive ideals for a solution. The debate eventually ended and we were to discuss what we found for the Graphic Design Option at CSULA.
