1. Opening of Lion king.
2, Red hot chilli peppers: Cant stop.
3. Black eyed peas: Pump it

Public Service Awareness Video (Smiling)

For this project, all of our group members were supposed to choose their own topic for the public service awareness video. After that, all of our group members were to present our topic and our idea's to the whole class. Then finally, we were to choose the best topic and do a public awareness video. So for this project, all of our group member's decided to do a public service awareness video about smiling. .

Opinion About CTS
(My weaknesses and strength) .

Throughout this subject, I have learned a lot of new things. This subject, made me imagine new things, and improved my creativity. For example, i was tested in imagining my own monster, monster sidekick and monster city. Whereas my creativity was tested by making me create the ruth goldberg machine. This subject also made me realize that by going through a lot of trial and error, anything can become possible. In addition with this, i also realized that i need i need to imagine more and interesting things, as the field of architecture is all about imagining and making it a reality. But all in all, this subject has taught me a lot of things, mostly to be more creative in my works. Therefore i would like to thank all the lecturers in this subject. :)
