GDAD show

I went to GDAD show today, I saw lot of interesting artworks, designers and artists are from the different countries, such as Taiwan , Japan and China. I want to share one of my favorite artwork.

Her name is Meng Yun Chuang, We come from same country Taiwan. I found we have same hobby when I interviewed her. We both like to eat and cook. She said she was inspire bye Jamie Oliver from Ted Talk 'Teach every child about food'(2010).She started thinking about food education and how to pass on food culture. She decided to make website to share recipes, and named Fun food studio. her major is illustration, so she drew food by watercolor , and tried to use different materials to make illustration about food, such like black tea. Except illustration , She spent a lot of time to research about food photos. She wanted the pictures look delicious, so she tried to decorate. after she finished website.

I like her style and ideas. It not only used the website to share the recipes , but also promote food culture. I can't wait to see more about her art work.

Project 3

It was very special experience to me. It was the first time to join team work, and also worked with different countries people. Everything to me, It’s like the challenge.

Our group called 22.5, We are from Taiwan, China, Japan and Norway. At the beginning we chose the body language as topic, unfortunately rang of topic is too extensive, so we decided to change it. Our topic called “Project 7.2 Inside．Outside we are the same.” There are 7.2 billion people in the earth. The "7" represent the seven continents and the "2" express two people inside to communicate with each other. The seven part with the different size outside not only symbolize the real continents, but also represent the diverse cultures which people who are from different nationalities receive throughout their lives. When people go into the space inside alone, the surrounding environment in the room are dark and people can see nothing. But the light will be turned on if another people stand in another room and people can see each other in this moment.

In the project’s process, we had a lot of fun, such as had lunch and dinner in the outdoor, we prepared the food, and went to Margate to visit the museum , enjoy the beach and do presentation.

I think this project, I learned a lot from team work, such as time management, communicated ,etc. And thank you my partners, we tried to do our best for the project 3.

Illustrator:Peter Kuper

I wanted to share the lecture today,it talked about “Finding way to lose youself”.I choose Peter Kuper. He is a very admirable illustrator from United States.He was born at New Jersey and moved to New York when he studied in the Pratt Institute.Peter also worked as a assistant of cartoonist.

Peter’s topics included political, comments of society and life stories. Especially an autobiography is one of famous artwork. Kuper used strong colors,simple lines,and clear shapes in his artworks. Particularly roles looked very energetic and theatrical.He founded World war 3 Illustrated in 1979 with his partners. Kuper is currently best known for taking over Spy vs. Spy for Mad magazine.He has produced numerous graphic novels which have been translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish and Greek.

Kuper's wife,daughter and he resided in the Mexican state of Oaxaca 2006–2008. He documented Mexico in his sketchbook journal. Diario de Oaxaca is an amzing place and a warm sunny with 16th century architecture. It happened a huge teachers' strike, people killed and a military presence during the first six months when his stayed.Kuper aslo left to drew details of life in Mexico.

Walking,day trip and long trip are the best way to lose youself.In the journey I will go to different places ,create new memories and get experience.It make me feel relax and think clearly,also like take risks,leave comfortable zones to discover unknown  self.Don’t be afraid,You will find something value in the journey.

Art School Confidential

I watched a trailer before movie.I felt very fun and like comedy after I watched and felt bored and bad. 

Jerome want to be a famous artist like Picasso and also good at drawimg.He brought a perfect dream and be a freshman in college smoothly.Jerome always tried his best to finish artwork,unfortunately he didn’t get any appreciation from professor.In the same time he began to love Audrey and felt lost.

I was touching very much at beginning,because he never gave up to be a artist.He started to lost himself when he achieved the goal.Afterwards he used to wrong way to made him famous and also broke rules.I felt a little bite crazy at the moment.It provided a ridiculous answer.Arts were made to d decision by the famous people.Someone was pupolar,other ones changed their mind immediately to agree him.Is real Art?How do you think?

MOMA Oxford :Lynn Hershman Leeson

I discussed Lynn Hershman Leeson artwork with my classmates in the class today.She is a creative artist.Her produtions include arts , films and also focus on the changing relationship between the body and technology.Now she has an exhibition in MOMA Oxford.

This artwork named Breathing Machine IV in 1968.There are butterflies,feathers,face and black yarn.butterflies looks like strong vitality .The black yarn represents breathing machines.They symbolizes to combine life and death and never separate.

This artwork is a series like Roberta Breitmore series.She used black color as background.The woman worry about something and feel anxious.The artist doubted issues about agibts,debts and death.She didn’t believe that train of diseased and self image greed in the contemporary America’s culture.

I will go to MOMA Oxford on Friday and really look forward to see the exhibition.If you couldn’t wait,you can watch it on website.
