My journey towards Digital Media vs my life as an artist.

A wise man once said "our character is what we do when we think no one is looking". I believe that you only get one chance in life, because life is about living. So go big! Go for the the good things in life.  I am Ntokozo, and am an adventurous person who likes to have fun. In life when you have made it, take a bow and embrace the applouse that goes with it, because you deserve it. Being recognized is a nice feeling isn't it? Well that how Peacocks see it. Peacocks are outgoing, confident, friendly, warm, and entertaining, which can become dramatic under pressure. I have a strong and bold voice. I am a  very stylish being and love fashion more than anything, because I believe in beauty.  However I love being to solve problems which is a positive character traits. I am very compassionate and usually put the needs of friends and family above my own. I am a creature who likes to think out of the box and love creating art in all it's form. Peacocks have the boldness char...

  " What is cursive writing?" It is rare to find this question, more especially in South Africa because they no longer see the significance of cursive writing. Cursive writing is a style of joined up handwriting, in which the letters are connected to help you write faster. One of the reasons people write in cursive, it's because it's faster than a normal handwriting, because the cursive letters are connected you lift your pen less frequently, which cut down on time spent forming the letters. Beauty and speed? It's a win win. When you look at cursive writing, you won't see anything easy, because the letters have many different styles. That's me at first I saw cursive as the most difficult handwriting up until I tried it. I got influenced to cursive writing at school this year, I had no choice I had to do it and I hated it because it looked difficult. I tried it, yes at first it is difficult because you'll feel pain in your hands, your posture changes ev...

  Dreams are stories and images that our minds create while we sleep. They are enduring source of mystery for scientist and psychological docters. Dreaming can help you learn and develop long term memories. For example during exam time students may dream about course content. People in a relationship may dream of their partners. Web developers may see programming code . I'm Ntokozo, I am here to tell you my dream. I recall a night, I was inside a big nice black car "Range Rover" . I was sitting at the back with people surrounding me, calling my name, " Ntokozo, Ntokozo, Ntokozo 🗣️🗣️" but it's funny because I don't see them, and that worries me a lot. They are busy asking for autographs but I don't see them.  All of a sudden, that fantasy fades away. Silence is what am hearing, this diva and a star disappears. I felt lonely and void inside of me. I'm no longer inside a car, I'm in a bush, surrounded by many people again this time I can see t...

  Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Arts is knowing which ones to keep. Creativity allows us to do some self introspections and to observe the world around us. It's provides us with tools to access creativity and problem solving techniques. Supports learning in following goal personal and social areas. What's phenomenal about creativity is that, it enables us to see the world in a different angle. It brings that artistic creature in you and it sometimes weird in everyone's eyes, but real to you, and some may criticize you for being you and because you know the reason why you're like that you literally don't care. Creativity makes your brain broad, and think laterally and that is normal because you are an artist. A creative person has an ability to invent and  develop original ideas like an artist. Creativity is a venture that we all take, having fun taking risk and most importantly inventing. Creativity is just connecting things. Everything you can i...

"Drawing is not what one sees, but what one can make others see" by  Edgar Degas. I never dreamt or imagined myself drawing one-day, but NEMISA gave me a whole new perspective about drawing.   It   unlocked this creative mind that's was locked for many many years. It made me think out of the box, to be creative and Artistic. I remember on our interview for Interactive Media, we wrote an assessment tasks, to test us whether we qualify or not for this course, and in mind, I'm only thinking about computers, basics of building a website, not drawing. It felt like a  nightmare. I wanted to quit but then I also thought that I wouldn't be here if I didn't qaulify for this course. Yes I don't know how to draw but that doesn't mean I won't learn. On the first day of the boot camp, we were told that we are going to have many drawing sessions, and I told myself that I will leave this place as an artist who does not give up easily. One thing unique about me, I...

  A wise man once said "Time wait for no man" and that is true. Time is the most precious thing in the world, because it comes once and never come back, thus we have to respect time. There is this famous quote "time is money 💰, funny right? But true at the same time. We all love to say that, but the question is do we respect time? It is a question we all have to ask ourselves, do I respect time?  From my own perspective we don't respect time because if we did we wouldn't say "if only I did this", and that is REGRETS . There's time for everything. Everything that we do must be efficient.   I personally tend to invest my time on things that are inefficient and end up regretting, singing Teddy Pandergrass song "In my time". We always have to manage our time wisely so that we can not feel contrite about it. Time Management is significant because it has taught me  discipline  and punctuality.  When I have an assignments to do, I make sure that...

Our ability to recognize someone as either male or female is absolutely undamental to our ability to interact with them. There is nothing natural about this recognition, it is dependent upon signal that allow us to place people in different categories. Unlike biological sex, there is nothing natural about gender identity, it is part of a socializing process. Sex refers to our different biological characteristics at birth, what makes us male or female. Gender refers to the cultural definitions given to these physical, biological differences, characteristics that the culture defines as masculine or feminine. Gender display in the process whereby we perform the roles expected of us by the social convention. Code is a shortened language that everyone shares, a set of rules, code of behavior. Masculinity is largely defined I n opposition to feminity in the culture, defined as much by what it is not as by it is. Traditional ideals of masculinity are about power control, confidence intimidati...
