Inspiration - Different stages of life

When I was doing research online for my coursework, I saw some interesting depiction of the different stages of life.

This picture depicts:
  • You start with Milk Bottle
  • Kids enjoy Pop and Juices
  • Young – mid age is dedicated to beer
  • And finally at old age the hospital drink would be the one you can have.












This work used the different bottles to represent the different age groups. I did the same in my sec 3 eoy paper by using the different chairs to represent the age groups. For my coursework this time, I mainly used the photos and other 2D objects, like different types of paper and money, to represent the different experiences people of different age groups are going through.

Other interesting ideas about aging and the different stages of life:

The four stages of life
1) You believe in Santa Claus
2) You don’t believe in Santa Claus
3) You are Santa Claus
4) You look like Santa Claus

Success is:
At age 4 success is . . . . not peeing in your pants
At age 12 success is . . . having friends
At age 16 success is . . . having a drivers license
At age 20 success is . . . having sex
At age 35 success is . . . having money
At age 50 success is . . . having money
At age 60 success is . . . having sex
At age 70 success is . . . having a drivers license
At age 75 success is . . . having friends
At age 80 success is . . . not peeing in your pants


This is interesting as it clearly shows that our life is really like a circle, and when we ages, our life kind of return back to the life we once had when we were little. Hence, elderly need the same care and attention that people are giving to their children. People tend to forget about the elderly as they think the elderly are old enough to take care of themselves. However, elderly are just as dependent as children. And it is really sad when they do not get the attention and care they deserve.
People should realize that when they are taking care of their kids, they should never forget about their old parents.
