collection project(9.4)
At the first I want to find something in the street , and found the chair can reflect the whole street.So In collected something in the street which can reflect things such as convex mirror and bottle
And then I think in one way(or one thing) we can see many more, we can see the whole environment in the convex mirror.So I collected my trash can,I think MY TRASH CAN IS MY DIARY, the rubbish shows want I did, and when I put my rubbish in the I found I forgot many detail in my life, so I decided to record my trash can as my diary.
This is this first project in csm.I think the inspiration is ok, and the photos of the reflection in the street(the photos of the chair and mirror in the contextual) is my favorite part.
But I do think I really should find a better way to show my trash can diary, it's not enough as a outcome, but I can't figure out it immediately.I think I should read more about artist and do more research. I found a problem that when I doing my research about Tracey Emin, I don't like her very much so I don't have many patient about her work.
How not to be seen
contextual practice:How to be invisible
In London and in big cities in general, it is easy to put up a facade and make our true selves invisible. With our project, we are going to try to show this aspect of everyday life. Why do we change our manner and habit when we are in public? Isn't doing this just like placing a mask over our true selves? In a way, it's some sort of invisibility cloak. Being different is dangerous, it points you out from the multitude. Everyone has different ideas and habits, so we water down ourselves to be normal and not disturb any other people around us. But isn't this just like lying? Our true form is our weird side, our peculiar side and in a way, it is the deepest form of truth we can embrace as people. We are going to show this in our project to be able to show how interesting and beautiful it is to be yourself. We want to represent how we chose to hide our interior self in certain moments and let it out in other, specifically when we are in private.

The video playing in reverse states the process of returning to purity, which has been long forgotten and buried in such a crowded and hectic world. The white colour and canvas also intensify this idea. White, functioning as a metaphor, frees our bodies and souls from our saturated daily life. From this short video, I aim to create a fleeting moment that escapes from reality, which is completely blank and free.

place(2019.10.11)
This project is a painting about a men is sleeping in the tube. It's interesting to see what other people doing in subway, especially there's no single in London Underground. So people will not just use their phones. And the men I chose to paint is because I can see many people like him everyday, a men who is really tired and take subway to home.
During I doing the painting I think it still similar with what I'm doing in China, a little bit boring and dull. but I think it's fine, just keep painting because it's important to keep doing things to improve painting ability. I should try more materials and more different way next time.
place reflection 2019.10.17
place When I was doing the painting, I felt a little bite anxious, because other classmate was doing Morden art but I was just doing oil painting in a traditional way. Acttcaly when I decided to draw this man, all I was think is how to do the painting well, and stop thinking how to do it in a interesting way. Because I think it’s hard to do a good painting and I always afraid I can’t do the painting well.
pathway2019.10.15
notes about pathway:
Painting: painting is my first choice. paint with other materials, with light or something interesting. Expanded painting, towards video and sculpture. After I choose the pathway, it's also important to study ps and pr, to give more chance to be different from the past.
Sculpture: the physical nature of the world(object, matters, material) I also want to study the skills for sculpture. can do many experiment in sculpture pathway.
4D: is on the interplay between artist experiment, media and technology. RELATIONSHIP. SOUND. MUCIS. VEDIO.
Reflection of trem1 10.21
In the term one I really enjoyed try different materials to do my work, which I never tried before. Like just the white primer in the canvas and made a fake book. I think if I have a feeling about something I should try more way to express the feeling although I don’t have specific idea.
And I think I changed a lot in term one, actually I learned a lot in other students’s sketch book and their works. It’s the first time I do the sketchbook, at the begin I thought I should put many things in one page and just choose the good work to put in the sketchbook, but I found I was wrong. Sketchbook is the most important thing to record my thinking and the contextual with my works ,I could lose many inspiration if I just put the work that I think it’s good, and it just the feeling in that time, it’s always happened that we change our thinking in ours work. And I put many things in one page, it’s really in a mess. I should see more good sketchbook from other students.
I awalys think I don’t have many creativity, just know how to painting in canvas. And in the term one, I do things really slowly, it’s important for me to see other work in outcome day, I saw they do everything and use every material, I never feel so freedom to dp art, and in the NEWS MATERIAL, I finally began to do my work.
Although my English is still not good but I’d like to tell other my thinking about art work. I think I did less work in term one, and most of them is boring, I still don’t know how to promote my work, and how to judge the quality of modern art,if I can figure out the better maybe it is a huge change for me, and I show get more thinking and do more research about different artist.
It’s important to let the audience to be a part in the art work, how to get the attention in the whole exhibition and how to let the audience to engage with the work is difficult. Sometime the art work will annoy people, sometimes the art work will heal people. I’m eager to get the reflection of others, because I think it’s always has the distance between the audience and the artist, also there has the distance between the art work and the artist. So it is important communication and get the reflection in everywhere.
Altered space(9.9)
This project is about the art collage test in China.
Since I was a middle school student, I was always drawing sketch like this, and many art student do the same thing many years. Because all the art collage test is drawing in the same way, the same size, the same still life, the same material to drawing all the time.And I think this the only thing the most art students are good at.
When we go to the collage we be told to create oil panting, be told the best art is from Renaissance is the best, and many people want to draw like this.But I think it is impossible to draw like that, because we don’t live in that moment.Nowadays time is different for us, it is normal for them to spend one year to do a painting, but it is really hard for us to do this. And it is the reason why I choose THE LAST SUPPER to do my college.Because of we only do the same thing, it is really hard for Chinese student to create, so do I. If we only learn the realistic art there’s no creative ability in Chinese art.
The reason why I use the rectangle shape for the sketch and to fold some part is I want to say that every test paper is the same.Every student do the same panting in the same way.
reflection of altered place
I think it’s wrong to chose the last supper, because there are too much meaning in the painting. So I changed another panting to do the painting collage. Maybe modern art’s work is better in here.
And I still think I don’t have the complete outcome. I always afraid to do things and I don’t know why.
painting
I was trying the new materials to draw, when I was using the roller I was thinking about the messy graffiti in Hong Kong street, I 'm not care much about politics. I lived in Shenzhen and my friend send me a pics a overpass with many leaflets and graffitis. Completely in a mess, he said when he was young he walked by the overpass everyday, the mess made he really upset. For me it's the same, I think there are many people are upset about what's happened in HK, I'm not to judge who is right or wrong, I just want to show the riot really hurts everyone, it's in ours remember.
material news
At the first I want to express the fragment information, nowadays we get information in a fragment way. So we always see the one-side is something. And I think it's easy to misunderstand the truth. And many information we get is useless. We can't and we don't want to pay more time to see the news comprehensive. Seems like we read news everyday in Internet.
1.make some news box and broken it.
2.put some small pages of information in the corner in a room, if someone want to read the whole story is not the easy thing. And I think it's important to choose the information. What kind of information is interesting, and they will misunderstand the information if they don't reading the whole information.
3.Take photos in bed, everyday when I wake up, the first thing for me is check the phone, but I really think many daily information is not valuable.
4.I 'm thinking about the fiction of newspapers, i think sometimes people use the newspaper to cover something or put them in the box more than read it.
In the outcome I made a fake book, there don't have any English word in the book. And I put some beautiful flower , dink and croissant. Made it looks like in a great café, and take a pic with the book. It just like a beautiful girls instagram's photo. I think many people are pretended to read , and maybe many people don't notice it is a fake book.
3D project reflection
news nowadays sculpture is not just Plaster and clay
, every 3D work can be sculpture maybe.
I made a fake book first, and then I buy some beautiful staff put in the table like a wonderful café. I just made the book but whole table is my work. It’s important about composition. Dradymade
2019.10.6
That has been a month seems I came to csm. We did 3 three days project and one week project. At first and second project I didn't have the mature outcome. I was
always didn't know what I gonna do,
sometimes didn't have any idea when we doing one day project. In the materials news presentation day, I finished my work in the morning, made a fake book. That
is my first outcome in com, I think that gives my lots of confident. So I did
some more after that, some panting about
HK problem, and some sketches for the
oil panting.
I think many student here is really great and good at computer, my only strong point is painting, so I don't want give up painting, maybe I will chose painting for my pathway.I going to attend the ps and ai class next week, actually I think I'm stupid and it's hard for me to learn
a new thing by myself, so I have to go to too much class in school as possible. I really like csm, my English is really bad and at the first I don't talk to anyone, but now I will talk to people about my work, although sometimes it's hard for
me to explain but everyone is patient and nicely. At the first month there are not many see in my workflow, because my writing is really bad, and wrote like baby's work. But it is impossible to improve if I don't practice.
