Reflection
Value exchange is the first course we have learned and it is not only about the changes in supply and demand in the course of transaction, but also about people in the process of trade and how to obtain the interests of the business moodle. In addition, the different business models created a different business exchange and value. Sales and Marketing, sales is for selling goods, while the market is closely related to it, no market, no matter how excellent your goods are, they cannot be sold. Besides, brand is a key, a right brand and correct sales concept is to enter the market and even occupy an important place. How to attract people rather than make people confuse, because of exaggerated sale way make customers feel strange, feel uncomfortable. Finally, a picture with a pyramid form makes me interested, which clearly explains the meaning of each part.
We learned about “Next up”, a good e-commerce sales site, where many artists and designers sell their work there and the site design is simple and does not make people get tired of looking for different works and asking for trouble. After that, we were divided into five groups, I chose the social media group. I am interested in social media, basically every day I cannot do things without looking at the Facebook, Insgram, Pinterest and so on. More importantly, I would like to learn more about posts and how to design and edit a good post through subsequent research, exploration, summarization and so on. In the next group discussion, we were responsible for different research, and communicated with other team members. In the process of communication, we encountered some trouble, some groups did not complete their work, which led to the emergence of contradictions, and even many people were still tangled in the end, did not know what to do. In fact, I understand this, because both from the English communication skills to me or my understanding of the task have some deviations in the beginning. In my case, I did not want to hinder others, some of the mistakes led to other team members fail, which affected their final results, I also hope that my team members have the same idea with me. The manager issued the order I hope is clear, in fact, things are as I think of the development of ….. Although we have encountered some setbacks and cannot take the next step, but fortunately every time we overcome it, in the coming discussing with other panelists, we know that we had to work together to get the job done, and that the regular communication between the team members and the managers, that she had given us a task to let us know exactly what we were doing and in my part, what is making the post popular is the main project that I am dedicated to developing. I have found some URLs, such as every year there are many successful posts and popular posts made in Facebook, Insgram and any professional studies posting online in each website. I interviewed some friends and other teachers and asked about their experiences, such as how they sent posts in social media, and so on. I have summed up some of the key information, applying to my task. Everyone within my team is responsible for the project is also orderly.
Shape of things (Week 1 – 4)
In the first week, we all did two types of works. Firstly, we were divided into different groups by the lecturer. In my group, we rolled the printing paper up, and then we used packaging tape to stick them together. In addition, we put a brick on the rollers, to make sure the brick would not fall down under this condition. Secondly, I did a mini flash flip book, the main material was a note pad attributed by the lecturer which had about 30 pages. After that, I used a rubber band to bind the pages together, and drew different process of the cell face on each page by pen. The first page was a cell, when we turned the pages very quickly, the cell would gradually become a face. And then, another cell would appear and become another face, the two faces collided. Afterwards, only one face existed. Finally, it turned back to one cell on the last page.
Shape of things：
For “Shape of things” first week,we were ask creating 3D paper model and I also made a “paper shelves”

In the second week, I used two processes in my work, the first one named wire, which was consisted of making lines and soldering. I used electrode holder to create the sense of movement in my work, which could be seen as an ebb from the shore. After that, I did three more exercises and things. Another process I used was wood, it was a wooden fish through cutting and sanding. At first, I found a long piece of wood, then I calculated the length and width that I needed to draw a fish shape. After that, I used the cutting machine to cut down the shape and sanded it by a sander. Finally, the wax oil was necessary to preserve the wooden fish.

In the third week, our subject was casting. We need to used a mould and cast with a range of substances, so that I used a piece of clay and two moulds to create many different types of things, such as a wine bottle, toothpaste and ring. For me, I feel really interesting in the creative process, as the works are vivid and lovely, and I just need to press the clay into the appropriate mould, and the moulds are very convenient to use.
More clay works (Self directed)
In the fourth week, I learned about the relationship between space and light, and my form was related to it. In my group, the materials we used were balloons, plastic bags, a packaing tape, scissors and knife, to make a beetle. Firstly, we cutted more than 20 plastic bags along the middle line and flatten them. Then, we wrapped the plastic pieces up and tied up tightly, to make the shape of a beetle. From the drape of plastic bags, it could show the vein of a beetle. After that, we cutted its arms and legs as well, and sticked them to the body. Finally, we drew some circles and lines to show its head and vein. Another work my group member did was a smile face balloon, he blowed about 9 plastic bags, then sticked them together, and drew some different types of emotional face, such as smily or sad face.
At last, in the fifth week, I did a chocolate ball by using Indian ink, a paper cutter and a white foam ball. Firstly, I used the Indian ink to dye the black color of the ball. And then, I poked many small holes on the ball by the paper cutter, so that it could look like a white chocolate ball inside with some nuts outside.
During the first mid-semester, I am really enjoying to learn the skills from this paper. In particular, my favorite work was making forms by clay in the third week and using plastic bags to make a beetle in the fourth week. For me, our whole class was active and interesting, it even did not like a classroom, the creative process was funny and the things we made were vivid and lovely, I really learned a lot.
C&D – ?SCAPE Presentation
After I got feedback, I thought I didn’t 100% understand the request, and then I was re-identified and I hope Emma to give me some advice. Emma gave me some useful ideas. She introduced some of the designer’s poster works to me and suggested that I needed to focus thinking on graphic design. For example, do some posters, graphic design, these are based on my use of Photoshop. Make a series of edits and make changes to each photo background color, so the picture will be more attractive, “what happened in the end”? For positive stacks and text editing, these are the directions I need to target. And do the right to use the font and can be more clearly displayed to the people. For these ideas and ideas, I have sorted out and made a series of works.
For the output of the works, I intend to print the A3 size and buy some frames to mount them up and put them in the room as a memorial.
The following is the work I think is quite good output, I put my “mood” into it, because here (Coyle park) is my favorite place.

First of all, I will talk about how is feel about each teacher’s speech and some of their career experiences.
Benefited from Gina’s speech, whether it is a series of works and personal feelings for her touch activation, body sculptures, or the bay sculpture, which attracts me and gives me a deeper reading of art and understanding. As to make the sculpture, it is her most successful creative experience, they created this outdoor sculpture “wool track” or “cashmere road” for a long time and the meaning of which is thought-provoking, it is about colonial discussion. The discussion of land ownership, this is to let them understand the meaning and power of this project. Knitting is the main production method and is wrapped with licorice.
“Architect” and sculptor, Emma, her judging of the art has a unique personal view, she likes to go with the audience to communicate and interact. In this way, the art works are closer to the audience to get more inspiration and more exploration. She discussed some of the works such as Daniel Richter, Archimboldo and Henry Darger, Archhemoldo’s works, they are vivid and the artistic creation and full of whimsy and alternative fun, which attracted me. And in the presentation and elaboration of the individual works, she is excellent, those graphics and style are seemingly messy, strange and distorted. In fact, some of the natural phenomenon of feedback have strong contrast, such as rotting wood, natural and non-natural phenomenon, these are the moment of inspiration, in order to find the feeling of her dream.
A very interesting person, William, he thought that he was not a real graphic designer. In his early career, he liked comic heroes. He had a lot of examples of graphic design, such as Roy Lichenstein, his comics were in a famous, vivid style and had production skills, and most importantly, he made comics into art. In addition, in the early graphic design, he had a unique record of the news text and images of the war, when people felt the darkness of the war and the terrible situationand laid a good foundation for graphic design, and the use of symbols and signs is representative.
Then I will talk about my experiences and insights. I have been fond of painting since I was a child. I wanted to explore and show the scenery of life on the paper, but my previous art teacher was inspired me in art. He once told me that I had artistic talent, my paintings revealed a vivid and interesting aesthetic. From the encouragement of this art teacher, I tried to learn the basic skills of painting, gradually forming my own creative style. I like walking in the landscape, walking can connect the creation of inspiration and real life, which makes me feel about life in a calm state of mind, and inspires me between intentional and unintentional context, I think that inspiration is not deliberately sought, or even in a unconscious state, it is deliberately pursued, in the relaxed and unconscious state, when the understanding of life is more inspired.
Many beautiful sceneries I cannot imagine, experience of the shallow limit the source of creative inspiration, cannot expand the wings of imagination. Therefore, inspiration is derived from the deep understanding of life and experience accumulation inspiration is only the leap and sublimation of the understanding in creative activities. It not only provides a solution to the problem, the chance of success, play a catalytic role, and cannot replace the entire creative process, but also pays creative labour, the growth of the painter must undergo a painstaking apprenticeship process.
C&D Contextual statement （EBB）
Verb: EBB
Figure 1. Vibrant Glow (Michael, 2013).
I will elaborate on what I have done in this four weeks of work, to explore, and to understand the “verbs” in the process of creating a series of works.
When I used Pinterest to search for resources, some of the works by an American photographer Michael Chase gave me inspiration, because of his exposure to adjust the exposure and shutter time, which makes the photo looks like a color ink painting. This also makes me more “EBB” has a lot of excitement and strange feeling, he should be misty, floating, like the low tide that scene. These pictures after I read Michael’s work repeatedly appeared in front of me ….. in my first week and the second week of the work which I used a lot of ink as my material, which is to see him After the work, I thought of the ink and in the later works, I extracted from Michael’s photography many of the elements I could use and put them in order to use the ink to “elaborate” my verb “EBB” The However, when I use some skills such as spraying, smearing and so on. I suddenly felt there was something wrong when I thought his picture was color and was photographed. He can find the place or through the furnishings to achieve the desired effect, but I can not, I have to paint to describe my thoughts and things to imagine. But when I saw another painter’s work, I realized that I had improved the quality of the painting and enriched my painting.
Figure 2. Ink Splatter (Jukka, 2016).
Jukka Korhonen, Finnish Digital Artist. I was deeply touched by his style, it was a free and ordinary. Seemingly flat, like in the ink, but the kind of hard and soft, all the style is my favorite reason. My style has been the same, this project makes me more able to learn from many artists and designers of the works and in the ordinary paintings to find extraordinary things, even if they are very abstract, even if I get the verb is very Abstract……..
