Final!!!

In this term, I learned a lot from seeing others' blogs and giving comments to them. At first, I didn't know what should do. But after reading first chapter, I have a flash of light. The first blog I wrote was about Chinese characters, and I really like to use the knowledge and aesthetic angle to do some art project combining with Chinese elements. Recently, I saw an animation made in China, Heaven Official's Blessing, and I really like the art which has traditional Chinese elements. I really want to do some art like this. And I'm major in film, so, if I have chance, I will add some Chinese elements in the video. 

Actually, I feel really comfortable to put my work in the public digital landscape. I like to share my opinion to other people, and if someone give comments to me, I really appreciate about that. Also, I saw a lot of excellent blogs and learned a lot from them. For example, in the last blog, I draw a process of uploading to describe the motion in my mind. And I saw some people used real photos to describe it. And they described implied motion accurately and excellent. So, I can get more knowledge or different angle to see the world. 

To be honest, I know some knowledge before I read the book, but they are scattered and uncertain. So, I collected those scattered knowledge together when I read each chapter. And I pretty sure that I opened the way to see the world. In the pixel art chapter, I got an ability to use small grids to draw a picture. And then I found that when I see the flash light, I can see it as a pixel art automatically. That's strange but interesting! I know that this is not a big change, but knowledge always slowly penetrates into our brains. I believe that one day I will use the knowledge I learned this term to see a different world.

Pixel and Grid

  “Grids function throughout society.” (p. 187)    Pixel art is interesting. There is a game named "Minecraft" which is made by pixel art. In our lives, we can see a lot of things made by pixels. Like the QR code. And when our website was bad, the pictures that we upload are very vague.  http://xhslink.com/fOfxP  http://xhslink.com/Z4exP In this two picture, the pixel Pikachu and Snoopy were painted by hand. And it used the grid to finish a round thing. In my opinion, all living creatures are composed of round things. But we can clearly see the square grid and we also can see the images. That's so funny! Using eyes as an example! We can see the facial expression on Pikachu's face. The right eye was painted by using four little grids and it looks like a round eye. The left eye was painted by using two grids and it looks like a closed eye. And the Snoopy's eyes are ellipse, so it used two vertical little grids.    http://xhslink.com/KldxP Those Disney Princesses are

Figure/Ground

“Building on memory and experience, the brain fills in gaps and filters out extraneous data.” (99) What I'm interested in this chapter is the figure inside of figure. When I saw the figure inside of figure first, I'm really surprising about that. I thought that was amazing.  In this picture, the question is "what did you see at first sight in this picture? A dancing woman with dress, two people are kissing, or nothing." Right, it is the test for psychology. I always love to do such tests. Actually, the reason why I like this kind of picture is that it is not only just a picture, but also it is a tool that can help psychologists to get more information from others. For example, just talk about this picture, answering the question I said in the first sentence. And here is the result. If you choose two people are kissing, the result is that you are a persistent person and your six sense is not bad. If you choose a dancing woman with dress, the result is that you are a pe

Diagram

  “Diagrams allow us to see relationships that would not come forward in a straight list of numbers or a verbal description.” (p. 215)   The Diagram usually shown as a chart. And when I think about the chart, something appears in my mind is cubic function, which is the function that can make a heart.  It's interesting for couples to use this to say love, right? I'm also really interested at the chart trends by using maps. It is a really useful and interesting way to draw a website trend. It is true that I prefer to read diagram than a paper of reading. Thinking another way, if that website trends chart was printed by a whole page of reading, do you want to read it? And the baby books were always designed by using beautiful and interesting pictures and colorful words. We can know that It's a good way to attract babies. As we know that adults can concentrate their attention longer than children. So, this design has effect. Link:  https://www.tumblr.com/blog/xiyue-zhang
