Cell Phone- Now, I am the costumer of Sumsung Galaxy 3s. I changed my phone recently. I am very interest in technology. One thing special for me, I do not like iPhone. the biggest reason for this is almost everyone owns one. In addition, the system of iPhone is quiet close. This phone indicates that I want to be different from other.
Different,Special.

My iPod Classic- This is a kind of thing I never put at home. I always carry it all the time.  I choose this because I love to listen music. I enjoy music very much. Greenday is my famous band. I can feel some emotions from the songs which they sing. When I study I like to listen some light music, when I clean my room I like to listen punk music or some rock music, because light music can make me feel quiet and punk music can make me feel energy. Music can influence my emotions, which indicate I am a emotional person.
Emotional.

Cigarette- Usually I take 3- 4 cigarettes everyday. I brought  many cigarettes from China.The cigarette I brought is the same that I used to smoke in China. I choose cigarette because is not only I feel sick I smoke one, when I feel a kind of homesick, I smoke one. I believe it is can reduce missing.
Homesick.

Memorandum- I choose this because I do not have a smart brain, which is the main reason I must carry my memorandum. There is not only some I should do on memorandum, also has something I want to do, even next 3 years or 5 years. Sometime I feel a kind of specific feeling I also write it down on my memorandum. The sentences I wrote maybe did not have any meaning. Which prove I am a kind of organized person and like to fantasy.
Organized, fantasy.

Bracelet- I have three bracelets. I choose one of them. I choose this one because this is the symbol for me. All my friends know I wear this all the time. Even when I shower.This bracelet if from a mountain which named Tai locates in north part of China. This bracelet also has some religion meaning. This Bracelet is from Taoism. This is a traditional Chinese religion which address kindness and nature, no one can change you, you are what you are. Although I am not a believer of this religion, I think the belief is excellently correct. I believe people should be kind and think about other people.
Kindness, nature.

Lighter- As I already mentioned, I smoke, so I should have a lighter with me all the time. However, this lighter is quiet different. It is from a movie named Constantine.I love this movie very much, I enjoy this movie because it mention some points I cannot agree more. To be specific, it mentioned that people must think about others can have a good ending. To be selfless to good people always is a good thing.
Selfless.

Wallet- I choose this wallet because this wallet is my brother gave to me when he knew I will go to America. I use this wallet more than 1 year. This kind of situation is vary rare to me. I never use a wallet more than a year at before. I used to pour water on this wallet and gums also stick on the wallet. However I still use this wallet. Nostalgic always be one of my personality.
Nostalgic.

The background is my favorite color blue. You also can see there is a Chinese sentence on the screen of my phone.   In English is mean that greatness is very hard to achieve, however there are many ways to achieve. I love this sentence very much, and I use this sentence to courage myself. When my friend see this sentence they think of me. This is belong to my personal identity.This picture only shows the surface of those things. This picture cannot show what the inside of my memo or what is in my wallet. There are buck ID and my diver-license in this wallet.All these things are my personal identities, however we cannot see from this picture.To sum up, I want to be different from other people, and I try my best to be kindness. Sometime I feel homesick because I am a emotional person.I also try to be selfless and organized person and sometime I did successfully. Nostalgic always be my personality. The final picture shows my favorite sentence, and it cannot show specific context in things.            

Response to Kaprow “Blurring of art and life”

          This passage talk about the art from daily life. Writer talks about some conception on what is the truth of art. She provided when she brushing her tooth, she feel some art feelings. She started to  observe hers elbow and fingers. She also to feel the passion from her arms. Try to connect these series of motion with art. It connect with art because developments within modernism itself led to art dissolution into its life sources.I agree with this point of view. From my perspective, if a kind of art do not have real life as for support, this kind of art is fake and cannot make the viewer feel it is real. 
          This passage focus on the process of brushing tooth is too specific. There are many things can provide inspirations of art. Because brushing tooth is too far away from art in normal people 's mind. So, it is s little bit hard to explain clear. I think she can choose biking. The acting of  brushing tooth is kind of light. In addition,  the scene is boring when people brushing tooth. The example she choose is too small

Micro-Assignment 2, Identity/Mapping

      On the first day, I walked here. First of all, because my teacher sent me a e-mail said classroom is very hard to find. So I choose some symbols architectures to help me arrive the classroom. This is my first time live off campus.  All the scenery is totally new for me. So the first things for me to do was I went back to my dorm, I used to live in campus for a year. I know certain buildings around the dorm. For vision part , I feel very family for me to go back to dorm. People like the scene of familiar. Because the weather was quiet cold at morning. I went back to China during the summer break. As everyone know, China does not have good environment. So when I took breath, I can felt the fresh air into my lung. When I walk along the street, I heard the sounds of whistle of cars. I felt the first day will be a busy day. Because I had a class before this class and it is about 8 o'clock. Every thing is humid in the morning. I use my hand pick up a flower in order to feel the fresh dew. With walking along to the street, I saw many students on the street. There are too many just like shopping mall. When I crossed into fisher business collage, I smelt some one is smoking cigar. The universal map is a simple map and everyone can understand it. However, when people using it, the sense of distance is still hard to feel.  
     From my perspective, I believe every single detail makes the journey is unique. Maybe I cannot see anyone smoke cigar at exactly same time as I saw at first day. During the journey , I also listened music because the distance is so long. I paid attention that first day always be the busy day. There was so many people around me, and the sky is much blue than China. I maybe missed some sounds from nature, like windy sound, because I were listening music at that time.

     This is the map I made in order to find way get to the classroom.  

Response to “Cardiff, Miller and the Power of Sound”

This passage talk about the power of sounds. Sounds can make people feel peaceful, nervous and any kind of feeling. Sounds also can convey people's feeling. This article introduces two artists, Cardiff and Miller. Sometimes they feel they were filmmaker, even they deal with film, however, they are not making film at all. This passage teach me that the effect of sounds is more direct than video. It tied to memory,and to dreams. I agree with this point, I like listen music, when I listen music my brain starts to memory things that used to happen to me. 
This article is more like story happen around these two artist. It provides too much details for readers. I do not like this kind of passage. This article is beautiful but is a little bit unclear. Especially for me, it is very hard to learn something from story, from the process they making sounds art pieces. 

Response for Nipple Jesus

This article talks about the perspective of painting from a person who  is not too familiar with contemporary art. These series of opinions is more honesty and original.  The main character of this passage did not have any experiences of art. He even cannot tell the differences between different galleries. I can see where he is coming from in a way; all the galleries are the same. However, in some ways, non-art perspective sometimes is better than the perspectives from someone who deals with art.   After all, not every can know all the details of painting. Most of people have similar opinion with the main character of this article. 

I do not like the attitude of him, if he takes time to enjoy the painting which on the walls of gallery, he should know differences between different galleries. From my point of view, we can be ignorant at first, however, about some new thoughts, we should learn and be open to them. Then we can improve.

Responses for two articles

This article talks about the big ideals in artmaking. How to make art close to the big ideals you already set? What is a good big ideal? This article talks much details of this kind of question which engage me a lot. All we can see this passage is a teaching plan of artmaking. It includes many interesting activities and summary of knowledge points. For instance, it gives guide lines for developing essential questions of big ideals. Because it is a teaching plan, for a student’s perspective it is very easy to understand.

Because it is a teaching plan, it covered many aspects. However, it is too general to go deeply. It also provide student’s big ideal of artmakings which is not very useful for me to learn something in detail. In addition, the activities are in teacher’s perspective. From my perspective, I cannot figure out why teacher does this. In a way, it makes this article too general for a normal reader.

The second article is about interpreting and culture. This article talks much about how people learn or know something from visual culture. It says all learners can learn things from visual culture. I know visual culture is the easiest culture to understand. This is why history left many painting on the walls. However, there is one thing shocked me, any ages of human beings can understand visual culture.

In conclusion, it say any ages can understand visual culture, but in this article, it only do some experiments in kindergarten and pre-school children. Could elder learn something from visual culture? From perspective I believe about the experiments can choose width ages and then reach the conclusion.
