a concert

Fiona and I has listened to a concert yesterday.

This is a cello concert. The performer is my good friend Lin, Gui Ru.

This is my first time listens to the concert. I think the cello only low and deep timbre before has not listened.

The cello's timbre change stems from my anticipation. Gui Ru moves her finger very fast. I had not thought a string can create so many kinds of changes. I most like the part is Gui Ruyan gathers the following part. She performs is a series of Chinese music of  the following part. When the foreign musical instrument meets the Chinese music to have the marvelous feeling. Then, Gui Ru puts out a small piece ball to collect the cello. It is very suitable with the small piece ball cello. Finally, I want saying that Gui Ru the performance is very good!!

If next time has her performance, not to miss.

A Comparison of Two Pictures

            Although left and right picture are describing same the themes, there are quite a few differences. The left picture is James Tissot's work. The right picture is Manet's work. The compositions of a picture are quite similar. There are four people taking a picnic in the woods. However, in Manet's picture actually receives a quite big controversy, but James Tissot's picture is not. Why are they so different?


One difference is color. James Tissot's picture is brightly colored. Manet's picture is darker than James Tissot's. For example, Manet's tree is brown. James Tissot's tree is green. Second difference is perspective. James Tissot's picture has space and depth, whereas Manet's picture does not show the sense of space. Manet uses the not clear way. There are causes around which the audience cannot see clearly, their positions to each other. I am unable around the resolution to relate. The third difference is manufacture age. James Tissot's picture is completed in 1870, and Manet's picture is completed in 1863.

The final difference is clothing. They are putting on the magnificent clothes in James Tissot's picture. In the Manet's work, the female is naked, but the male is dressed like gentleman. This is not permitted in the 19th century's society. The middle class emerges in the Industrial Revolution’s influence. The middle class starts to have ability to purchase the art work. Moreover, the Industrial Revolution brings the influence, that the labor opposites the middle class, so the middle class don’t like the artistic work which leads a life of comfort.

All in all, there are differences between the James Tissot's work and Manet's work, and their work actually faces the different destiny in the art history.

My classmate sends e-mail to me, she shares an interesting short film with me today. This short film has about the famous artistic work, the display creativity reorganizes. Now, many work inspiration originated from before great picture, simultaneously also utilized formerly had used the technique to annotate the work again.

My studio

             Be an artists needs space to wrok. I can read, creation and ponder in the space.  Many artists lack the space to work. I am so lucky  because the school provides to me a space to work. The space at National Taiwan University of Arst Cultural Creative Industry Division. (  No.28, Sec. 2, Daguan Rd., Banqiao City )

          The Cultureal Creative Industry Division  originally is the old paper factory. With the times passes, the paper factory loses it original function. National Taiwan University of Arts rents the paper factory to the Executive Yuan. The paper factory transforms the Cultural Creativit Industry Division. The Cultural Creativity Industry Division contains the artists studio, the glass workshop, the ceramics workshop, the lacquerware workshop and the NTUA art gallery.
        I can see a park in front of mine studio. There often has the populace to make the movement, dances in the park. There has a sculpture park behind in studio. My studio is a very special room, it has two gates. A gate which uses except me, another gate is leads to my schoolmate the room. I often want to open it secretly, looked that my schoolmate is making anything. I have a very big table in mine studio, but it doesn`t have many spaces to put the thing. Looks like woman's pocket, is forever insufficient.

       My work room looks like my little world. I fantasized willfully in here that creates the new work, the establishment belongs to my world. It is not disturbed in here and has the space to deposit own work. Thanks the school to provide to me the studio.

        Finally, our class held a new exhibition soon. An exhibition- Paper factory OS. Active period: On May 15,2010 to May 23,2010. Visits the place: National Taiwan University of Arst Cultural Creative Industry Division. ( No.28, Sec. 2, Daguan Rd., Banqiao City ) Welcome everybody to visit.

David LaChapelle's exhibition (MOCA TAIPEI)

       

         I went to Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei with my friend yesterday. We visit the new exhibition- David Lachapelle. David LaChapelle is a World-renowned American photographer. He is an accomplished artist in many fields such as fashion photography, documentary films, direction of music videos, contemporary art  and exhibition design.
       
          In recent years, the artist was named as one of the "ten most important photographers in the world".

           
 
        LaChapelle’s talent was already apparent in his youth. He was offered his first professional job by Andy Warhol to shoot for Interview magazine at the age of seventeen. Then, his fame as a photographer rose with the Hollywood celebrity culture.

LaChapelle’s works have a tendency to spread a dreamlike dimension over reality.


LaChapelle captures the brilliant world of celebrities to describe. His fashion photography is consume the public celebrities images. He used strange color. For example, Fluorescence color was uncommon in the past. This exhibition gives me many inspirations.

Meantime, other exhibition in  Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei is NINA Kovacheva and Valentin Stefanoff. They together exploration of the excess of desire.
According to Jacques Lacan, determines our relationship with and alienation from the Other.

Finally, I recommend everybody to look at this exhibition. LaChapelle’s works is good!

movie- Alice in Wonderland

I went to the movie theater with my friend yesterday.

We were watching the movie- Alice in Wonderland.

Alice in Wonderland is my favored fairy tale story.
Visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure Alice in Wonderland.

         A magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time.

The story about Alice returns to the whimsical world. She first encountered as a young girl, reuning with her childhood friends.For example: the caterpiller. the cheshire cat and the white rabbit.
     Alice membarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end Red Queen's reign of terror.





           Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter. Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice. Anne Hathaway as the white queen. She is one which of stars I like. Helena Bonham Carter as the red queen. She is the director's wife.

waitting for the bus

      

         I come from studio to the school last night. I was waitting for the bus. Beause spring is coming season, some of the leaf fall down from the tree. Then Iwas hit by the fallen leaf. Soon, I was hit once more by the fallen leaf. Finally, the bus came. When I seated at the bus, I comb my hair. I touch the fallen leaf on my hair. This made me embarrassed. Then, I chose a seat to sit. When the bus drived away from school, someone pat my shoulder. She told me: There was something in your hair. I was scared. "What?!" "It should not be...,a caterpillar?!" Therefore, I touched my hair again. "Oh! My god!" The fallen leaf suddenly came from my hair again. This made me embarrassed. I can't forget.

Qualities of a Good Artist

Many people have the artistic dream, wants to work as artist. The success person is minority. The populace often has thinks, the artist is born that way, actually artist needs some conditions. Being a good artist, we need to follow five steps. First, go to visit exhibitions.We it will have new viewpoint. The viewpoint will give us different inspirations and they can expand our mind. For example, I visited the David LaChapelle exhibition last week.


Second, reading famous artist's album of paintings. I always can get different feelings from the picture whenever I read it. For instance, I like reading Monet and Velazquez album of paintings. Every time I read, I often get different feelings.

Third, spend a lot of time on practice. For example, Vincent Willem van Gogh and Henri Matisse. They made many sketchs of their works. 2010 Vincent Willem van Gogh exhibit in Taiwan, I can find many sketchs in this exhibition. The succeed work are not finished at a short time.

Fourth, need to collect many pictures. I can find new ideas of my collected pictures. The new idea perhaps come from old works. For example, I collect the Middle Ages pictures. I has many different decorative design. I can find inspirations from that. After that, I will search for the Internet of the pictures. There are many kinds of pictures. I can find new ideas. I can use them in my work.

Moreover, have confidence. I must like my work. If I don't like my work, how to convince other people that my work is great.

To sum up, it is difficult to walk on this path of art. There are many fine arts department students graduating from school every year. To be very few becomes famous artist. If I want to succeed, I need to new idea.
