SAATCHI GALLERY

This time i when to saatchi gallery, which is a free entry gallery.
And there are some work that i really nice.

The "Old Persons Home" by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu.
13 life size sculptures and 13 dynamoelectric wheelchairs.

I goona say that is the most creeping work i have every see before, the sclptures is really alive and they move it very slow. It make me think of some scare movie, they just quiet and close to you while you were doing other things.

Another work that i like is "Conitnent" by Jacob Hashimoto.

And "Nine" by Guerra De La Paz.

VCT - cut and paste workshop

In this workshop, I try to work out with the title “handmade” these two words.
The concept I want to present is: a good design is basic on satisfy human desire.
Therefore, I used the image of car to combine with the title and try to make a nice image. Also try to make the car personification to support the idea.

I used lots of football player’s foot to replace the tires, shows the speed. Also make a face for the car to make it personification. In addition, I make a monkey driver and cover its eyes with text “we make it better”. The reason I use monkey is that I think, if we can saw things with different vision, than we can really see a foot ball team carrying the car, just like to make a car need lots of people and their hands.
All the functions of car are satisfying people’s desire.

By using the title handmade to shows it’s not an easy thing to make a good design. Also the impression of car is opposite to handmade; it is interesting to put those contrasting feeling together and catch people’s eye.

Typography workshop

In this workshop, we need to choose a typeface that can relects about our personality. And than we draw a baseline and trace our name.

I was using "Helvetica".


The secound activty we done is that we choose the part that interset us from a letter, after that we need to using our way
to show how that part different in various typeface and fonts.



I am using the letter "R" to start my work, and I like the leg of the letter R, it is curvy and romantic. I try to use the shape to mak a image, outline the Bodoni R and make a text image.


In this workshop we were force to using our hand to trace each letter not like the easy way just type it on.
Therefor, we can know the different between each typeface and we got more time to think and understand a typeface.

This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.

Anish Kapoor

I when to Royal Academy of Arts today,
Anish Kapoor has an exhibition untill December.
It says Anish Kapoor is internationally regarded as one of the most influential and pioneering
sculptors of his generation.

I try to understand his work during the time, because all his works are so amazing.
And i think the most interesting one is the "shooting into the corner" , the cannon is fired at twenty-minute intervals from the Large Weston Room through a doorway into the Small Westion Room.



Another work that I like is "Svayambh", a vast block of red wax moves very slowly, along tracks. Squeezing itself through the classical doorways repeats its insistent journey.

Secret Place

'Secret Place'

This image is of a hidden area behind a pair of cupboards that we chose as something interesting. The image uses contrasting colors, and gives a very simple, but mysterious feel to it. After we took the picture, we felt it had a deeper meaning to it. It reminds us of a journey, that will take us to new and undiscovered places.

2005

Whilst looking through 'Tactile', these images caught our eye for several reasons. The images are based in a forest area, surrounded by greens, browns and blues, but the patterns stood out against this, showing very vivid colors.

From these images, we felt that every tree has its own secret and own personality that each has their own story to tell.
