Week 6: 1-minute sound piece

                                                                  1-minute sound piece




    "Music shall fill the air"(McLuhan, 111). It is so true that musics actually come from the air and fill the air. To me, music comes from a simple thought and fill my brain with numerals of great ideas. The audio I made was about an emotional transition from sadness to happiness. There are four parts in my sound piece.1️⃣The audio I recorded was on a day that I went back to Ormsby from the conservatory, and I recorded the sound on the sidewalk. 2️⃣ I remembered the day was cloudy and chilly. When I walked across the avenue, I noticed that everything was turning yellow. The wind blew heavily and messed up my hair. I felt winter was really coming. 3️⃣HOWEVER, reading period was coming too. I planned to do this project on the first day of the reading period, and I had a plenty of time. The sadness suddenly flew away, and the wind was even no longer cold. The happy notes were jumping to my head so this was the third part4️⃣ The last part was like the ending part, and I put my own voice in it. I made it sound like the broadcasting, and I am the narrator to introduce the song writer, which is myself.

    I really like your melody and the idea of "yellow lights are flashing"! That's so amazing to use the sound in our lives.

Week 10: FINAL!!!

     This is exactly what we want to talk about! ZODIAC!! Sally and I came up this idea since we both read the quote "Ours is a brand-new world of allatonceness" (McLuhan, 63).       Our brains are used to use stereotypes to identify new people. We stick labels on them and those labels sometimes determine how we treat others. Although Sally and I both agree that "stereotype" is actually not a bad thing, what we have now are too serious. We do not want gender, races, ethnicity, or colors to speak for us.      Zodiac signs are also ways of using stereotypes, but they are much more mild than what I have mentioned before. And the most important thing is that this is not what we can get at the first glance of a person! If we know the zodiac signs of new people, we will bring more expectations to them, and it will really make the communication more interesting. If you have read Sally's blog post already, you will know the differences in these ...

Week 5: REFLECTION BLOG2

Gina Adams I really appreciated Gina Adams's Lawrence Installation. I enjoyed it very much. I really like her work of basketballs. I remember what she said that each basketball represented historical trauma. It really is. I was surprised that she connected identity with a specific thing, like basketball. This makes me think about how I could relate my creative work with my real life. I did not see the image on basketballs clearly, so I looked up her portfolios . I like the color of symbols and marking that she used on the surface of the basketball. She used many light colors instead bright ones. I was thinking about why she did that, and I think I got the answer in her words. These basketballs included the stories of "unidentified Native Americans whose identities being culture, name and homeland have all been lost". The colors are telling the sorrow, and I also felt sad about those stories that have been faded.  I took this picture outside the Wriston. I saw the shadow b...

Week 9: Art Show!

My First Art Show      It is so cool to hold an art show! This is my very first time of participating in an art show, and I felt very proud of myself. They all look so good!! Honestly, when I stepped into the empty room, I didn't even know what was going on and how it would be looked like. However, when we put our pictures into the frames, and hanged them onto the wall, they were suddenly different. Especially when the lights were on, and I was like "woooow". I am really an artist!! I will always remember this feeling whenever I will have art shows in the future. I really appreciated that!      Also, I enjoyed the entire process of taking pictures, editing them, making photo book, and printing my favorite pictures, although it took a very long time. I met many problems, but my friends helped me a lot. They gave me so much support. This art show gathers everyone's fantastic ideas. I read through all of my classmates' photobooks very carefully, and I deeply a...
