“Humanism is about the world, not about humanism.”

Humanism is a philosophy, emphasizing the seek of a “whole” person and appreciating the uniqueness of every individual. Essential assumptions of humanism are that humans are inherently good, have free will as they please, have the ability and desire to self-actualize, and the superlative, have the inner knowledge of an individual.

Humanists, the believers of humanism, primarily emphasize the building of a more humane which is the concept of individualism, the most important element of humanism. The Renaissance humanists believed that people should always maintain the ability to control their own lives, asking questions, regardless of the Catholic Church back then, which abandoned people from questioning god and having their originality and creativity.

I gave myself a score of 18/20, which is 90% of a Renaissance humanist because I highly support the concepts of humanism, which takes rational reasoning as its ideological foundation, and kindness and fraternity as its basic values. Personal interests, dignity, and freedom of thought are all things I value. At the same time, I believe I have thoughts and feelings expressed in literature and art, and I enjoy making art and analyzing classic art. I advocate humanity, human rights, and freedom of individuality against personal dependence.

 

– Skills that I learned:

I learned how to cut cardboard smoothly and use a glue gun safe without burning myself(since I’ve experienced burning myself a lot of times throughout the process).

-One thing that I’d want to change:

One thing that I’d want to change is the appearance, I wasn’t doing it in progress most of the time, so it came out very roughly and plain.

-If I did this again, one thing I’ll do differently is:

I will be starting to write on cardboard before I glue them together since I did it after I glued them together this time, and it came out very hard to write on it or decorate it. Next time I’ll design the cardboard and the appearance first before I glued them together so I don’t need to have a hard time decorating and struggling with the appearance afterward.

Reflection:

I feel like the progress was tough but fun, although it wasn’t looking anything pretty, it is actually fun to play with. You put whatever kind of rubberband in the cardboard box and try to target the sticks. Although I’m not very happy with what it came out like, this is still a very good experience and I’ll definitely do it again. Next time I will try to use my time wisely so I don’t have to rush through the whole progress in order to finish it before the exhibition.
