Creative thinking skill Project #1 : Musical Performance(daily object as musical instrument)
Tasks
For Individual work,students are required to show their investigation, exploration and process in making the musical instrument .In this task we are required to include sketches and doodles of your idea. Information should be clear and easy to read. This documentation should be in loose A4 paper which will be placed in the Idea Journal Folder. For group work,we are to produce a 5-8 minutes musical performance. Each group has to create a musical performance using only their voices and musical instruments created by daily items. Students may choose one item or they can choose several items to be played at different time or to even make it as one musical instrument. Each student must have their own instruments to play even if they are the lead singer.Each group will have to perform various songs(medley) according to the theme given by the lecturer. They should also move to the music or perhaps act out a dance routine or anything that is related to their song. Do dress up or add on some props for the performance. Students are required to record their performance during presentation day. |

Cigar Box Guitar
|
Progress As you can see in the slide,my product is a cigar box guitar and the process of making a cigar box guitar .So what is a cigar box guitar ? The cigar box guitar is a primitive chordophone that uses an empty cigar box for a resonator. The earliest had one or two strings; the modern model typically uses three or more. Generally speaking, strings are connected between the end of a broomstick or 1" x 3" wood slat and to the resonator, the cigar box. |

For our group work we have chosen Disco Retro as our theme .We had done our cd cover and poster together as a group.After that each of us had come out different songs from the 50's to 80's.We did our research on the singing style,rhythm ,fashion accessories which artists from the 50's to 80's usually wear .After some discussion with each of the member about the song,outfit etc which regarding to our performance,we had choose some songs to perform in our performance which actually sound more well known,lively and you may even want to dance along with it.For example,Funky Town,Staying Alive,I Want You Back and Celebration.We will always give out our time to pratice in the studio so that we can produce a nice performance.Although some times we did slacking during the pratice but we still try our very best to coopereate with each other to come out a nice melody of those songs that we had chosen.Few days before the performance,some of us even went to Sunway Pyramid to buy those outfits that actually fit to our theme. We did our very best on the actual performance.

Refelction
Trough this project i have learnt to explore more on the things surrounding me.At first i didnt even know there were actually cigar box guitar in the world.After that i was actually explore and try to make it one for myself.Of course there were lots of failure during the making progress,but i did not give up and always tried to improve myself.Finally i manage to make two cigar box guitar .Although these two were not perfect enough but the second one was even better than the first one.I have learnt that never give up on something that defend you will make you stronger and better.I understood that communication is very important in a group work .I very appreciated everyone of us which actually manage to control our emotion and find the best solution when there were some arguement abot the instument,melody and the arrangement of songs.Not only that,we actually cooperated with each other well to produce a good quality of performance.I really want to thank this module which actually gave me a strong bonds between me and the members.Untill now they are still my closest friends in the university life that we actually called this as a ''gang''.They are so important to me that i could not dare to imagine my uni life without them.
