Response to Art Which Can't be Art

Sometimes, when people mentions art or art works, I always feel that they are far away from my daily life. In the article, the auther ask a question that can our daily life become a part of art. After reading the article, I belief the answer is definitely Yes. As we all know, art comes from life. Some ideas of the artists is so simple and normal. However, most people do it as a repeat movement.

According to the article, the author gives an example of brushing tooth. Before the article, I won't consider that brushing tooth is a different kind of art. We get up hurried in the morning and brush our tooth in a sleepy state. I try to observe the movement of my eyebrow and my arms and find the frequency and rhythm are amazing. I always keep the same rate when I brush my tooth and the eyebrow will move up and down freely with my different movement.

I was curious about the idea of the artists. And now I find that they have a good discovering eyes. And I remember the photo I took in the view of a bird or ant. It might be my discover of life and art.

Response to Wexner Center

I went to the Wexner Center to see the exhibition of Annie Leibovitz. There were many interesting photos taken by her. Most of her pictures are focus on portraits such as the politicians, the stars and someone I couldn't call the name. What impressed me most is the different expressions of the individuals. President Obama and his wife were smiling confidently in the photos, while on the other side of the wall, Queen Elizabeth was standing there gracefully and seriously in the photo.

And my favourite photo there is the one called Soledad Prison which was took at the Chritsmas Day. Although the photo is a black-and-white photo, I could imagine the rain drop fall on people's clothes and hair. However, nobody cares that as there all kissing or hugging their lovers and families. It might be a precious chance for them to meet each other. The conflict at that moment between the prison and the warm scene gave me the more intensive feeling about love. I stood at that photo for a very long time. I thought I would miss my families much after that. In fact, I felt that my homesickness was crued a little. I don't know why. But I should see sometimes art has its own magic to me. And this experience is so meaningful to me.

MP3

My sunglasses: I love it, especially in my summer term here to protect myself from the sunshine. Maybe most Asian don't like the sunshine in the summer and we think skin whitening is very important to women. What's more, it can not only protects me from sunshine but looks very cool. Nowaday, the sunglassed is considered to be one part of the fashion. It is now become my necessary accessory.( cool accessory )

My ipad: Ipad is useful to me as sometimes bring a computer is so heavy for me. I usually use it to see the slides of the course in my class. To be honest, ipad is very convenience, light and handy. What's more, using the interesting APP or watching a movie is a good way for me and my friends to kill time when we are waiting for someone or something.( multifunction electronics )

My iphone: I should say I may have the mobile phone addiction. I remeber one day I leave my Iphone at home and I felt so nervous and I even wanted to go home to take it. And I found many friends of mine have the same problem. It seems that we can not live without our phones. It may be ridiculous to somebody. For me, every morning, I used the alarm in my phone to help me wake up. Then I may see the whether from the app of the phone. When I am waiting for the bus at the bus stop, I usually chat with my friend or twitter to kill time. Meanwhile, I will use to google map in my phone to see if the bus is coming soon or not. What's more, the phone is also my camera, my notebook, my dictionary and the large number of apps make my daily life much more convenience than before. I love it. ( essential tool ) 



My pencil case: It is good for me to hold my pencil, eraser and eyedrops. And I love the color and the cat logo so much. Orange gives me more energy and make me fell warm and happy.  Someone tell me that it looks like a smartcover for ipad. It's so interesting. ( a good humor )

My eyedrops: As I use the contact lens everyday, I need the eyedrops to keep my eyes comfortable. It helps me protect my eyes. Sometimes, I feel it is a good way to release the pressure and refresh myself between the coures. It is cool and refreshing when dropped in my eyes. I love this feeling, which make me much relax. ( moisture drops

For me, these things may show that I like lovely things and warm color. As you see, the pencial case and the cover of my iphone are all in orange. I find I love orange so much and I haven't notice that before. I thought I love green or blue much. How interesting it is! And I also notice that the mobile phone becomes such a necesssary things to my life. And I should say that I always take many snakes to school as I have an early class every day. I always forget my breakfast. So that might not show in my pictures.
