Juxtaposition

The meaning of juxtaposition is a placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as a juxtaposition of words.Many creative processes relies on juxtaposition. The act of juxtaposing is to place two objects or words next to each other. What automatically happens is that there is transference of meaning. Usually from something familiar to something less familiar.

This week i learn about juxtaposition. Firstly, i don't understand about that. But because the lesson, i finally understand. For this topic, the lecture give us a some exercise. This exercise make us more easy to understand what meaning of juxtaposition. The name for first exercise is "How mergers go wrong". This exercise is about create a one animal from 2 different animal. But we must create the impossible animal, which is the animal cant life in the world. For this exercise, i make a Pigylion. There is a mergers from pig and lion. But, obvious my animal is wrong. The true answer is Birdfish. This is a mergers from fish and bird. The reason why the animal is impossible is because they have different place for life, one in sea and the another in sky. This a example that animal.

The another exercise is how to make a poetry from picture. For example we create poetry about love from a picture mountain and sky. The poetry we can create for this picture is like this...

Love is like oxygen
You get too much you get too high
Not enough and you're gonna die

Love gets you high
