Hi. Welcome. We are around half way through a project, and it has been pretty crazy. I won’t tell you much for now, but here is something that I’ve made so far. This is our first stab at answering our driving question for this project, which is “Why does it take a “crazy” person to change the world?”
Do you have what it takes to change the world? How do we do it? How has so many other people before us changed the world? What is so special about them? They have a special ability to see issues that doesn’t exit, or many people doesn’t see. They are “crazy”, as suggested in the 1997 Apple campaign. The “crazy” ones who changed the world are the only ones who can do so because of their willpower to focus on their passion and turn it into something bigger.
The Wright brothers’ undying determination to create something that can actually fly made way for all the world’s aircrafts and spacecrafts. You might think that what they accomplished must be because they had a very good education, but in fact, they didn’t even finish collage. Even so, they still managed to create what could be one of the most important things ever invented. Flight is now considered the future of transportation by most people, but we don’t just focus on the future of flight. There are museums for flight, filled with older versions of planes and teaching viewers all about how flight came to be.
Paul Allen turned his collection that can only be seen by him into a public showcase that everyone can enjoy. This building is call the MoPop, or the Museum of Pop Culture. Originally, Paul had a very big collection of Jimi Hendrick’s stuffs, and all of it was being kept as a private collection. He wanted to show it to the world, and so he paid for all the money to build a building to showcase his collections. The building started out as just a place for all the music collections, but later changed to show all the special things that’s played a big part in pop culture. The building is now a famous place for people around the world to come and learn or relive the things that has been a big part of pop culture. The museum even has a section dedicated to science fiction.
When science fiction was introduced to the world, it was a massive deal. Nobody has ever thought of writing books or telling stories in such a way. Nothing in science fiction has to be real. It all comes from imagination. Anything you can think of, you can put it into sci-fi. This has opened up a whole new world, within our world, telling stories that are out of this world. Some of the best films and books are science fiction, like Interstellar, Dune, The Matrix, and many more. Science fiction isn’t the only thing you can put your creativity into though.
Dale Chihuly’s glass pieces are one of the most beautiful things ever. The design and the placement of everything has changed the way glass could be used and expressed. Who knew that creating these random shapes with random colours and sizes could turn out to look so pretty. Seeing his work opens a new light in the world. One that’s full of intellectual creativity and innovative designs. His skills gained from his passion and years of experience in glass work and creativity is what has made all of it possible.
All of these four things are somethings that I like or I enjoyed during the field trip. Flight has always been really cool to me, and it was really awesome to see so many planes in the Museum of Flight. The MoPop had so many cool things too. There was so much, but unfortunately, we ran out of time and I didn’t get to see everything that I wanted to see. Favourite part of it was the sci-fi section. There were props from some movies displayed, including Dune. My favourite genre of all time has to be science fiction. Some of my favourite books and movies are sci-fi. In Chihuly’s Garden and Glass, the glass pieces just blew me away. I never thought that glass could be made into such beautiful art pieces. Now I really want to try glass blowing to see if I can also make something like that.
Through this project and all of the places that I went to on the trip, it’s made me realize that the world can only change because of the crazy ones. Their doing has revolutionized many things. The world today has so many good things and crazy ideas, it seems like there are no more for us to come up with. Many inventions today are to solve a problem in our world, but the crazy ones invent things to solve problems that are even there. They are the one who has made the world what it is today. I believe that anyone who has the willpower to be the crazy one will change the world, just like so many others did before.
Well hello. It seems like you’ve made it to the end of this post. Thanks for reading all of the things above. The end product for this project is something interesting. This is the project that we went on the field trip for. That was fun. Anyways that’s it for now. Check back in a few weeks if you wanna see what this project was all aboutttt.
