1. What creative work did you examine? Describe briefly and insert a photo or link that illustrates your example and/or provides more information. The creative work I examined was koi fish drawings and tattoos. There are many different type of koi fishes. Many people in Hawaii get tattoos of a koi fish.
2. What can we learn about Pacific Rim/Basin language and culture in this example of aesthetic expression? This example of aesthetic expression came from the country Japan. The koi fish was originated from there around the 1820’s. Japanese rice farmers kept them as food fish, but somewhere between the 1820s and 1830s, they began to breed some of the koi fish for aesthetic appeal. Although they originated from Japan the fish were used as the main subject in Chinese artwork and carvings and some Chinese rulers kept carp in captivity for their viewing pleasure. From the Japanese culture we can learn that the koi is a strong well known symbol used for artwork, clothing, tattoos and even live scenery. The koi fish has several lessons and even trials individuals often encounter in life. The koi fish has a powerful and energetic life force, demonstrated by its ability to swim against currents and even travel upstream. Some of the characteristics

I thought it would be interesting to search up because everytime I go to Ala Moana shopping center I always stop by the pond to look at the beautiful colorful koi fishes. Everyone use to throw coins into the pond for good luck until scientist recently found out that pennies are not good for the fishes so then this tradition stopped. Also I chose this as my aesthetic expression because I remembered my teacher in elementary got a koi fish as a gift for the class. When a koi fish is given to someone as a gift it is known to bring good

Geisha are defined as arts people who study classical Japanese music and dance, perform music and dance for parties, and are registered officially with a central office. (Foreman, 34, 2005, Prasso, 200, 2006) The combined proficiency at music and dance with a sense of elegance, tact, and grace that wins the respect and admiration of patrons. (Groemer, 159, 2009). They were high-end performers, and could not be afforded as entertainers by the common people. They are expected to be witty, flattering, excellent conversationalists, and have to endure long years of strict training in traditional dance or in playing the shamisen, a three-stringed instrument (Struck, 2000) Only those who were very rich could pay for the accompaniment of a Geisha. Overall, the Geisha should be interpreted as performers, just like in the west, ho...

The first work I chose was my first paper I had written in college. The literacy narrative which I had titled Think Quick, was a challenge for me to write. I would normally sit down at my computer and just start writing my paper from the introduction to conclusion. This time I decided to try something different, I started with the body paragraphs. I also found it hard to incorporate someone else’s work into my paper. Once my paper was finished, I read over it to find mistakes and correct them.

The element of imagery is also produced when this poem is read aloud and more of the imagination is brought out...
In conclusion to some up this essay the term ‘creativity’ will always cause a debate in the educational system as. There will always be difficulty defining it as many use the term too loosely to have a definitive meaning. It requires risk taking, it is difficult to portray creativity when schools are so obsessed with right or wrong answers for ways of doing things. Society teaches us the risks are bad because the government and its policies interfere with our own choices and decisions.
To begin with Sir Ken Robinson states that “creativity is the greatest gift of human intelligence” and therefore the education system should help children to realise their creative potential, unfortunately many are being displaced from their own true talents. Formal instructions and inquiry based learning are essential for creative education. There are some times when it is appropriate for the teacher to give formal instruction in skills a...
