Week 5-The Art Of Juxtaposition

The art of juxtaposition simply means combining features or parts of 2 or more things, which could be anything, such as animals, objects, and also humans. The new combination would be unique, however it carries properties of its components. It is as if the DNA of things has been changed and new genes are added to them.If you have watched the animation "How to train your dragon" you could clearly see how widely this technique is used in designing all the dragon characters. The main dragon character "toothless" has the eyes of a cat, wings of a bat, skin of a reptile, and it looks like a lizard. Sometimes it is pretty complicated to break down the character to its individual components, since it could be made out of so many things.

Juxtaposition-Literary

Juxtaposition (literary), synonymous with contrast, two objects or texts that oppose one another

In linguistics and semantics, contrast is a relationship between two discourse segments. Contrast is often overtly marked by markers such as but or however, such as in the following examples:

1. It's raining, but I am not taking an umbrella.

2. We will be giving a party for our new students. We won't, however, be serving drinks.

3. The student knew about the test on Friday, but still he did not study.

During our last lecture session ,we did a very interesting exercise. First, we choose any pair of number which is from 00 until 99. Then we replace the number with the certain object which have been given . We are asked to make any sentence or statement of these two things or object. Then we visualize those statement with pictures of the scene . The following step is also the same, we draw the pictures but this time, the pictures or image we draw must making people say the 2 things or objects that we have choose randomly .

The first digit of number:

1. Flower
2. lighting
