Simile is an expression of comparing two different object which
character has similarity. Simile uses connecting word such as like and
as. For example, she is as active as a rabbit, or they fought like cat
and dog.
Metaphor is an expression to emphasize the statement using the word of different object. for example, "my heart was torn into pieces". Many piece of work use metaphor, be it in writing or visual image. Perhaps what we see in most piece of modern art gallery adopt the concept of metaphor too.
In class we had an activity of filling up quiz to understand more about simile and metaphor. There was around 20 numbers for each type of one to six.The quiz went like this.
What I have learned is that the more you can associate thing, the better you get in expressing things, be it through picture or writing. The better you express yourself, the easier it is to get the message delivered to the viewer or audience. Perhaps we have seen many works applying simile and metaphor in our daily life, but we are not really sensitive about it. Understanding and practicing simile and metaphor are significant in stimulating great ideas to come for artist in general, resulting greater piece of work which has stronger meaning.

This is a good way to exercise the mind.
The more we can find relation of objects, the easier it is to express things accurately.
Sometimes our brains are tricked by our vision
This is when the word got a little bit more tricky.
