FTISLAND!

I have a project need to use metal on this week. I finish the project and left some wire, then I use them make some little person in a small black box. All of these little people have different actions, and five people come up with a band. One is play guitar, one is play piano, one is play dram, one is play bass, and the person in front is a singer. I try to not cut the wire, which means I work out every person in one piece of wire. It’s really challenge because some time I will make it to a wrong ship then I will change it again and again, and also some part of the body is waste wire because I want to try one piece of it to create person.

To make this creation because recent of time I was creasy about a Korean rock band. They are all 16 to19 age teenagers. The song they create and sing in a very pure way. When you listen the song, you can get very cheerful and happy feeling. For my self, I’m very interested in music and I play piano for a few years. I had a dream to create a music band when I was in high school, but because the academic study is too busy in china, I did not get a change to fulfill my dream. This little creation makes me so happy because I can make something is about my favorite music band. People may have a lot of dreams through their different age period. However, some times they can’t full fill every dream because the conditions in their real life. For myself, I was very happy and satisfied that I can do what I want to do right now which is study art design. There are a lot of challenges during the time I study it, but challenges the most important thing in my life to make me improve.

Self Drawing

This is a drawing I create on this week. It is based on a self picture that I took. The reason to take this picture because I bought a new shirt and a cap, I want to see what is looks like if I try it on. When I saw the picture, I I want to try to draw it. I like drawing or painting people, but I never try self drawing. After I draw, I think because the technique problem, it not exactly looks like myself, but I get the feeling about the drawing which is a little lonely. I was really like guitar, and I like the life people who get a guitar singing everywhere. I think that is so cool, but actually the difficulties they went through only these people knows. People who singing every place to make money is not an easy job, they must overcome a lot of difficulties and let their dream come true. Then, I drawing a guitar on the back of this girl which means I study art in another country is also not an easy thing. I will have a lot of difficulties face in the future. Drawing this just want to cheer myself up I must try my best to overcome every difficulties let my dream come true! This makes me think about the lecture of personality and creativity. It just likes professor said growing up environment can create different personality or change one’s personality. I always remember when I first came in Canada, one of my new Chinese friends told me that from talking, things I deal with can see the personality I have and what looks like about my parents. That’s true; I have a very peaceful home. I am the only child at home. My parents try their best to protect and educated their only child. I did not met lot difficulties, so I think every mistakes or difficulties I met will become very good experience and can makes me stronger to meet bigger difficulties in the future. Just like the drawing shows I try my best to fulfill my dream right now no matter how many difficulties I met, I will let my dream come true and be successful!

This week was a busy week. I finished the reading Personality and Artistic Creativity, and I was interested about this article talks about the idea of creative process between introvert and extravert. Jung pointed out the idea that inspired creator’s process extravert lies in his having objectified his unconscious. In extraverted process the artist is aware that he is subordinate to his work or stands outside it, as through he were a second person, or through a person other than himself had fallen within the magic circle of an alien will. For introverted characters, which means getting inside their point of view, indeed, there may sometimes be a need to assume a person with the opposite attitude throughout a story or novel. Just like us talks about the idea in Dr. Madeline’s lecture, the introvert need create things alone. They like a quite environment, and use their personal experience. They like to be alone and do not need talk with people too much. For extrovert, they prefer to get energy from talk with people and to be social. They need other people, also I think they need get other people’s experience become their ideas and put in their story or creation. The creation from extrovert, they will consider whether their story can be accepted for variety of people and different ages of people.
From my perspective, I think I was an introvert creator. When I think about things I like to be alone. I like put my personal experience and interesting in my work, even do not think about whether others can be accepted. For example, every time I doing my patenting project in painting class I will repaint after class. I feel very hard to concentrate or to thinking ideas in front of a lot of people. As a result, my friends tell me do not paint in class; do not waste your painting material. I am also afraid to do group project because not only yourself in this group, you must consider other people. There is a problem I often ask myself, is there any thing wrong if I only create things or getting ideas all by myself, never consider other people’s feeling or other people like or dislike my creation. Should I change the way for my creation process? In other words, if we do not consider audiences’ felling, is this creative project will be successful? However, some times I will think creativity is the way to express your personality, to let people understand you through your creation. May be not everyone can understand you, but at least some people can or some people will related their personal experience from your creation.

I have a busy week because this project. i must say i was very excited about what i have already down. this is a body go through object. my body can go through from hole of the top box, just like i come out from these flowers.
