Topic: A Cup of Rice
Objectives: To have another point of view of the chosen topic.
The first things that came to mind was the output or the finish product. I made sketches of a person 'cupping' the rice in his palms while a shower of rice comes pouring in. I had other ideas like this but none of them seemed to be approved by my teachers, hence back to the drawing board.
After much deliberation, I decided to use the Elements (Fire, Air, Earth and Water). Since rice is already from the Earth element, I do not need to worry about that for the mean time. I had 2 cups of rice, one cup consists of white rice while the other cup is brown rice. I started with the element of Water wherein I submerged 1/2 cup of each rice into 1 cup of water and I left them to adsorb the water for 5 hours. Every hour I would take a few grains out of the water for sample and comparison. After using the element Water I then used the element of Air. I left the rice to air-dry overnight. The results was quite obvious, for someone who is surrounded by chefs, its easier to see that the rice was easier to pulverize.
