This European fashion show really attracted me. This is a part I have never touched before. I have been deeply impressed by the tailoring of the clothing to the color, from the shoes to the bag. Fashion design is my graduate major, so I recorded a lot of costume styles and embroidery patterns. There is a special story behind each piece of clothing. At the same time, each piece of clothing has a different occasion to match, which is very shocking.
When I first time seek some information online about Serpentine Gallery, I was shocking by Faith’s artworks. Because her colourful collection and special the material of paintings, even with rich political backgrounds. In my mind, art works with politics themes are always boring, and lack of colourful change. In fact, Faith’s artworks are quite the opposite. Each role that was painted in project has its own characteristics, amazing!
The two works in the exhibition gave me a lot of artistic inspiration. Careful observation, everyone is not the same skin colour and expression, although the picture is very delicate about the politics of the characters. Then, I tried to find out the characters and postures of the people around me by appreciating the works of Faith, and recorded them. I found this to be very interesting.
Use painting to capture and record life. She paid more attention on art and the race of human in her whole life. She said “I can’t get through the world without recognising that race and sex influence everything I do in my life.” In my opinion, painting and life must have the same beliefs and attitudes, feel the life with heart, thank life, then create a better artwork.
In this video presentation, KaylaBriët (an artist of many nationalities) describes how she built her heritage through music, and language culture. The speech effective me greatly because my uncle was born in Hong Kong. when he was child, Hong Kong did not belong to China, it is just a British colony. He often told his the childhood story for us. He said he did not know what the people do not even know which country’s language to speak. He think does not have sense of belonging. In 1997, when Hong Kong returned to China then he really found his nationality.
Art is common. It can help us better understand ourselves and other people, and even find our own status and social value in life finding our own heritage.
If I had to think of a key point to describe myself I think it would be “delving”. I say this because I am a curious person. For example, in the era of the global cosmetics boom, especially the lipstick, I am very interested in its production method. I often ask myself why a small lipstick has such great charm and how it is produced. So I try to deeply analyze its production process. Finally produced almost the same product, which is called “rouge- YanZhi ” in Chinese.
In the same way, I delve in cooking very much. Because no matter where I eat delicious food I will carefully researched its taste and try to match the closest taste with different ingredients.
This makes me both enjoyable and miserable. I feel enjoyable because this habit will let me find out more comprehensive and thoroughly. Although too much research could make many simple things complicated, and waste time on some useless things.
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
