Did I achieve what i set out in my proposal?

Technically I don't think I finish my entire Part 3, cause I forgot what my starting point is for a while. By discussed with classmates, and re-read my PPP again. Although I know its too late, owing to it was getting to the end, I still try to do more outcomes that was originally envisioned.

Has my project changed from my initial proposal? if so, why and how successful were these changes?

My project changed form my initial ideas, I didn't intend to make so much paintings; However, I hope I can be high capacity so that I can do more research. It takes a week to finish a sculpture, a painting on the other hand, can be finished in a day. Thanks to its high capacity, I was allowed to know more about myself, understood what to fix, and next action.

what breakthroughs occurred during the project?(Breakthroughs are incidents and experiences that stand out as having had a major impact on your approach/thinking)

The video I developed can be said as one of my breakthroughs, although the videos do not contain much of technique, I still think the videos make success. Three of them are ranging from 1 to 2 minutes, and it cannot said as films, cause these are all came from the same angel without zoom in and out, either, just a camera standing right there. But the vocal is where I wanted to highlight, I made my lens distance, angel, and every filming technique vocalised. A change in stress , pitch , loudness, or tone of the voice, bringing the different viewpoint by its sound. Standing right beside the waterfall can listen some of the raindrops, then walk served steeps back, in that way we can hear the small waterfall with water running sound. Proceeding in an orderly way, we can hear the waterfall draining out in the end. And the last but not least, ending.

How have I developed in technicals terms?

For my final piece, I made an installation, and it is my only installation in Part 3. Pastel color tone as the body colour, which sharps contrast with the green at the side. The abrupt three-dimension paper ball is creating an ill feeling, trying to convey its neurotic. The violet, purple, pale yellow circle, and the red circle line seem to create the depth of the space. In conclusion, the beautiful floral cloth background, the hanging painting with the neon green ribbon, and the indigo blue fabric fabric on the ground form a triangular relationship, organised a visual space, an aesthetic installation.

How has my research influenced, informed and shaped my proposal out come?

I have a love-hate relationship with doing research, doing research helps me know more what do I like. Solid my thought, but takes time at the same time. I was planning to develop my project like Anicka Yi, but ended up like Robert Rauschenberg. It is fine, I love Rauschenberg thought toward art.

What is the most successful and what is the least successful aspect of my project?

I was trying to connect the contemporary art with traditional Chinese painting, which I think it did not came up really well. Due to I did not do completed research about traditional Chinese painting, I used to paint a few pieces back then; However, I cannot find rice paper here, and I've already went to a few art shops. They don't have it here, its quite pity that I did bring the pigment here but did not have a chance to do it. Not only the lack of rice paper, but also I chose a really thick paper. I've never painted in the traditional way is another reason as well, cause I wanted to paint with the traditional skill.

If I could start my project again, what would I do differently and how would I go about it ?

If I can re-make project again, I think I will spend more energy on research, especially on science and physics. Because that was exactly what I set out to do. My Part 3 has become the same with my Part 1, and Part2. In other words, I did not making a bigger breakthrough. I still have a few ideas that is combine little experiments with art, and I would love to make them into practice in the summer.

How well did I organise myself and manage my time?

I normally do physical on the school day, and go to exhibitions, researching when its days-off. But I was not productive on weekends, and I think I should work on those days as well, these time are important as well.

Description

For my final piece, I made an installation, and it is my only installation in Part 3.

Pastel color tone as the body colour, which sharps contrast with the green at the side. The abrupt three-dimension paper ball is creating an ill feeling, trying to convey its neurotic. The violet, purple, pale yellow circle, and the red circle line seem to create the depth of the space. In conclusion, the beautiful floral cloth background, the hanging painting with the neon green ribbon, and the indigo blue fabric fabric on the ground form a triangular relationship, organised a visual space, an aesthetic installation.

This installation is between abstract and figurative. And by its colors, it gives a dreamy, comfortable, but odd feeling. The comfortable part is from the painting's body color. Dreamy is because its background, and as for odd is because its abrupt figures on the painting. Colors can give people huge influence. Due to color can be a important to one's artistic perception, I was even more focus on the painting. These whole thing cannot let me felling out of space. Actually i did not plan to present it like that, i was planning to hang it on the ceiling. And i thought i have ceiling, but it is only a corner. And that ceiling is quite weak i do not think anything can be hang there. It is a pity, if i can create the space of the background and the painting is apart from each other it would be have more sense of space, dangling. It helps with my outcome by what i wanted to express to people.

The video I developed can be said as one of my breakthroughs. The duration is from 1 to 2 minutes, in addition,  it cannot said as films, cause these are came from the same angel without zoom in and out, just a camera standing right there with different scenes. The vocal is where I wanted to highlight, I made my lens distance, angel, and every filming technique vocalised. A change in stress , pitch , loudness, or tone of the voice, bringing the different viewpoint by its sound. Secondly, imagining standing right beside the waterfall can listen some tictok sound from the raindrops, then walk several steps back, in that way we can hear the small waterfall with water running. By proceeding in an orderly way, we can hear the waterfall draining out in the end, everything loudly and mix everything together. And the last but not least, the ending.

I want to study the art that is accessible to the five senses, vibration (sound), fragrance, tactile, feeling, and vision. So I want to study some biological knowledge to get my concept completed. By some simple physical knowledge, I want to make a sort of interaction art installation.

These are what I wrote in PPP, but after having a assessment with classmates, they say I'm sort of like forgot what I've been wanted to do in Part 3.I think my pieces now has not express these out yet, I can see that as well. So I want to push myself to do more in these few days, to see what is the best I can do.

So today I painted the last textured paper, it is just a tiny collection of Part 3. I used black first to demonstrated every dark side on the photograph, I used it generously, I think that side can be whole black then I paint black. The paint is not watery or dry, its just like it normally. Secondly, I put green to depict plant, but the green did not work out as the green I wanted it to be. So I paused and paint the water with white first, I used right amount of water with the white. By the way the white throughout these three paintings are actually acrylic, cause acrylic is covered than watercolour. And if I want to put white I want it to be white enough.

To expend the painting I did yesterday, I used another texture of recycled paper and this one has something like little tiny branch throughout the whole paper, and the texture is even more rough. The colour I chose this time is more pink more clean. The part which is warm colour tone on the photograph I chose cold colour tone to paint it, vice versa. I painted the background first cause I was not sure what colour I want to use to my main part. I put the paper as the photograph like this time, I did not twist or turn it. The skill I used this time is tapping as well. Although I use the same pen like my former painting as well, which is a flat pen. I used front side, the formal side to tap my formal painting ; However, I used the side face to tap my painting this time, which the brush I tapped out is more narrow. so I have to do more time to make my painting cohesive.

To what I mentioned yesterday, I want the wave looked more clearly, I think I do pretty well this time, but I don't like the colour, this is a little bit dull the colour, the layering does not come out. I used strong colour at the two sides so that my body can come out as well, but its only the edge of the waterfall, the gap between water and the cliff. So the colour of the waterfall is quite similar with the background, is because I want to create the whole painting with almost same colour tone.

I drew a painting today, I am not sure whether did I been affected by Bernard Schultze or not, cause I was doing his research last night. But I think the style I painted out is from my sculpture as well, maybe both. From the paper I said before I used a special texture, it may be a recycled paper, which is quite thick, so I thought I can use a lot of, I mean not a lot, more than before, I can make my paint watery. And putting masking tape is another study as well cause I want my paper to be fully painted this time so I did not put masking tape all around the paper, instead I used nails and nailed it onto the wall. Four edges so it became quite rough, it was rough and after the water it becomes rougher, so maybe I will put it under something heavy so it can be even more flat.

From the technique I used is tapping as well just like my canvas, but I use brush this time. and as for the colour I don't want to restrict myself. It is just that I don't want my painting look gloomy, too dirty, that's the only thing I concerned when I was painting. I rotated 90 degrees when I was painting it one the wall, cause I thought if I made my brush watery, it will water droplets and I want the drop from this side; However, the paper is good at absorbing water, so there was no water droplets, and since there is no water droplets I just took this action as a another way of seeing. Maybe my horizontal and vertical will change through the way I putting like this. 

I put stronger colour on the two sides, so that my main body can be distinguished between the tow. I did not only tapping, but also lines to make an expansion, which I think it made my painting look more tension, the whole painting looks really clean, leaving the brush texture on the painting intentionally made this painting looks more interesting. 

I want the wave of the waterfall looked more clearly at the next painting, I don't think this wave this time look understandable.

Since I've been in London for half a year, went to a lot of galleries, which helps me gain a lot of knowledge about art and gallery. I want to know more about how the business work in the art world, learn about how to make an exhibition completed, every detail associated with this world, so I was thinking about having a summer intern. So I've been writing my CV, Resume, autobiography since easter break, and I just sent it out not while ago. I don't have any work or intern experience, and since to me I have learned so much about art, I would like to put everything into practice. That's my intention to apply summer intern, actually the gallery I applied to does not have any information about recruiting summer inter or even intern, employee. I think is because of our culture, not much of student will apply a summer intern in my city cause is not capital city. Famous galleries are normally in capital city and, Hong Kong value fine art the most in Asia countries. Although I already sent out my application, I can tell there are still a lot that I need to make up. I don't consider my application a good one, but I do know my frankness can get a hundred. If I get another chance to do it, I'm sure this experience benefit me a lot. Not only how to make a better portfolio, but also how to make it completed and how to write proper letter. 

Yesterday I went to an building, which is an antique market. Cause things are antique, they are quite exquisite. They made ripple on the containers, plates, or bowl. And they made the ripple differently, every one has its own characteristic. I was quite inspired from it so today I want to paint some paintings with different ripple, different waves. I brought four papers with its own special texture, and these papers are too special, I want to paint on it and leave some blank at the same time. I used a black paper as my first painting, I paint wave with white, and a little bit gray in the first place. then apply some green to black as the surrounding, and blue also as the sky. These are so normal, everyone understands that but I want to make some experiment how 

I bought three canvas last Saturday. After the exhibitions I went to, they sort of like encourage me to do more paintings. I think oil paint is going to be the fastest way to express myself, thats the reason why I use it as my paint. Even I made a mistake, for feel like the outcome does not suit me. I can always change whenever I want to. Three of the paintings are using the same formula, I write words by hot glue first, and apply paint after it. I wrote “a series of steep drops”, “Natural river formation”, “Stream flows over a precipice”. Although they are not a complete sentence, they are just another way to express waterfall. I paint with pen first actually, yet things just don’t come with what I thought, I don't like the outcome of the colour. I used paper platte so I simply just use the platte as my pen, apply paint on the canvas then mix them with paper platte. I used the way of tapping, and it just came out as what I want. It does not mix too much and still have each others original colours.

Although the paint I used are same colour, but each canvas had its different proportions, the first one is mixer than the others is because I used pen. So I prefer the other two, but it is just my first layer, I'm thinking about putting the second layer, I want to put blue on it, but with transparency. Thinner, but blue can be seen easily.

This morning I finally be able to talk to Emma, after our discussion. She does not think me want to use toothpaste as a paint is doable, i still can give it a try, yet she wants me to do something with acrylic too. Moreover, she thinks I'm more like in a experimental process rather than making my own outcome, especially I actually don't have much time to waste. Since both Emma and Hannah like my concrete piece, Emma suggests me to further it. Have a conversation with the tutor in workshop, the tutor said maybe I can try Lentex, after applying it, I can peel it of just like a skin. The tutor said I don't have to apply a lot but I think I will break easily if I apply it thin, so I applied quite thick. The outcome is quite good, but I shouldn't apply that much, it let my texture looks smoothly, I think I will try again on Thursday or in the future. When I was waiting for the Lentex dry I made another concrete, and this time I want to color spray on it than put acrylic before I pour concrete. These two types made different one is clean, another one is retro I think. I believe I will prefer my first piece than the second one, but still want to try it in other way.

Today I wen to Van Gogh Exhibition with Synchar and Lily, light sensitivity, strong lines and swirls of colours are instantly recognisable, Van Gogh has his own strong and heavy characteristic thought his painting. In the exhibition, they contain not only Van Gogh itself's pieces, but also those pieces or people inspired Van Gogh during the time he was in London. For instance, Sorrowing Old Man (At Eternity’s Gate) is actually based on Sunday at the Chelsea Hospital by Hubert von Herkomer, which is an early lithograph. And Van Gogh did a collection and study, including Prayer Before the Meal, Peasant Sitting by the Fireplace, Worn Out, Sorrowful old man, Mourning Woman Seated on a Basket, and Weeping Woman. Although I went to Van Gogh Museum last Christmas, to me the whole feeling is incomparable. Maybe is because this exhibition demonstrate the Relationship between Van Gogh and London, that is more specific. And from this exhibition allowed me to reevaluate Vincent Van Gogh. 

I walked along the Rhein River to sculpture park, I know there is a sculpture in London and I've been wanted to go there. I just don't have the chance to get there, so I was looking forward to visiting the sculpture in Cologne. It was neither a big nor a tiny park because the sculptures are quite huge, what is nice that it is open to the public so people can get in for free. There was a few cactus at the door, then a really huge egg yolk, which I think it is interesting. It is normally hot in the summer, some press in my country are in love with making themselves a fool. I remembered it was so hot in a day, in order to show the audience how hot is it outside. The journalist put an egg on the road and was waited next to it for thirty minutes. The conclusion is "After thirty minutes the egg became a half-cooked egg" It is really nice that an art piece reminded people of what they experienced, their feeling, everything.

I walked to Museum Ludwig after sculpture park. They have a lot of Pablo Picasso's pieces. And just like every other art museum, they have an area to put POP ART pieces. I really don't like pop art, I think it is too cheesy, but I'm quite confused with some pieces here in pop art zone. and here is what I saw Robert Raschenberg's piece he combines painting with a chair. If alter an object, it means it alter people's perspective of what that object is. I was really enjoy in this pieces, he is really brilliant, after doing his research made me like him more.

Emma told me she is going to have a conversation with me about my project today. I went to workshop and finished my frame, but I'm still wondering what can I put in my frame, there's already something that I think I can put into. For instance, soil, grass, stone, something associated with the surrounding of the waterfall I think. Since I can have a talk with Emma, I just leave it. After finishing my frame my pieces in classroom have sort of like can be stop just for now and I'm the next person to talk with Emma, so I paused and had been waited. During these time, I just kept thinking about what to do with other senses. Then ASMR came up with me, it is like a trend now. filming the sound of the water maybe connect it with something that has nothing to do with the water might be interesting. I googled the nearest waterfall, Holland Park. I had been waited for a lot of students came to Emma and talked to her, when one gone another came immediately. I did not think I can talk to her so I left earlier around 4 to the Holland Park, the garden I went is Kyoto Garden. That is a really nice garden, they even got a peacock, the waterfall is quite small compared to the real one. So I stand there and recorded for like six minutes, it is kinda pity that there are too many people around me. But it just like an experiment, to see what is it like. And I found something, that is a scoop catching water from a faucet. but it made a sound like “dong" and continually. So I made these sound into my plan, too. It is actually a nice experience to be in the Kyoto Garden.

Due to the designer I want to write down today is not associated with part 3 so I don't want to put it in research. I just put it in reflection, this, Drake/Anderson, led by award-winning designers Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson, creates sophisticated interiors that are luxurious, refined and always have a touch of the unexpected. When I see interior design normally I don't have much feeling with it; However, every result in their own website impressed me. It gives me a delightful impression, how they choose the colour is fearless, is quite bold to be honest, but you won't get bored with the vivid interior easily. The reason why I fall in love with his interior is because in one project he put a Macintosh chair, and I love it. Jamie Drake's design is normally edgy and modern, leading the trend, setting the base of the interior design trend. Adding vitality and energetic to the busy city and the real estates. Actually my dream when I was a elementary school student is to become a inter designer, I read a lot of books, although is just picture, it did sort of enhance my feeling towards interior design.

I signed up a workshop induction that is about concrete, workshop induction always allowed me to learn more. And it turns out helping me a lot, I learned another skill to make my art into practice. it is quite easy actually, first of all set up a box, and the box can be in any shape if it is a container. Later gather the material I would like to put it in, that has another possibility. I saw a girl bring hair and it may suits her theme, which is quite creepy and cool. Cause I want some water like texture, so I use clay, after we shaped our clay we can bring it to vacuum or we can just leave it in the box. Mine has too much texture so that I can not vacuum it or the texture is not going be obvious. I just leave it in the bottom, it is quite heavy, I don't even have to crew the two sides together. I shaped the clay from high to low, like ocean it has sea cliff, berm crest, low tide terrace, longshore tough, and longshore bar. I used two different tools to make my wave, one is just a slice of a flat and short steel, another is a tool borrowed from the tutor, its name is ribbon tool, it has two holes, one is bigger maybe 25mm, the other is smaller like 8mm. I was planned to put a plastic bag in it but it doesn't help with shaping wave. It will just stuck with clay so I did not use it afterwards. We can add acrylic with concrete, so I added blue, red, purple, silver, even some yes sly sequently so that my surface has colour, which make it more visualised. The last but not least mix concrete and for them into our containers. Today is Thursday and the tutor said we may gat make it solid on Monday, I'm looking forward to the outcome.

As a proverb goes "Man struggles upwards; water flows downwards." The waterfall is the most intuitive expression of "water flows downwards." A river trekking through a cliff becomes a waterfall. 

Today when I was reading the article about the six human senses, it says "The five senses traditionally ascribed to humans are vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch. A sixth "sense" could be proprioception, the perception of body position, which is important for balance and agility in movement. It could also include perception of stimuli from within the body, such as pain, hunger, or thirst." So something stroke me, what if I do something that make people feel pain, hunger, or thirst. I went to an exhibition last week, a video impressed me the most is a woman was delivering a baby. At the meantime, there were two more video playing at the same time. What made me confused is that why do people allow to keep their eyes only on this screen instead of every others, I think it is because it made people feel pain, or maybe this is our fist time to see how are we been delivered, we have connection with it. Moreover, Lots of people these days in love with recording videos about them eating, what made this video become a bomb is the microphone they use, the crunches sounds made people feel. "I can relate to your situation." "I feel the same way as you do.", something that we will feel related. I think I will go forward from this sense.

I had an interview with Slade today, I was quite nervous and asked people about their advice. They were so nice and gave me useful advice. Even I arrived at Slade, I met Adam, he told me how's the interview like and gave me some advice, too. I am always so grateful how people treat me here, so I always do my best to be nice to everyone even strangers. Anyways, I hope the interview went smoothly. In the end they asked do I have any question, and I asked can you give me some suggestionAfter today I think I finally realize the difference between CSM and Slade. I think I prefer to stay in CSM rather than Slade. I mean they are both good, yet, I don't know if there facility is as much as CSM's or not. They said normally they don't have actual classes, so we just stay in our own studio when we want to have a talk with tour, email the tutors, set up the schedule. I quite like the atmosphere in Slade, it looks like between students they are all having a really nice relationship. From the research I did about Slade is that this is much more competitive compared to CSM. I do need some stress, but I still prefer CSM a lot more than Slade. The offer has not come out yet, I don't think I will get in anyway, there are too many excellent people applying this year. I wish everyone can get into where they want.

After the reading week, I believe people know more about what do they want to do. We were separated in groups, and mine is with Viola and Ben, we  lost a person, I can not find him anywhere. Viola is going to do something associated with LGBT marriage. Breaking the traditional ways of wedding photographs, trying to get another way to present it. Changing rigid and stiff into one's own individual way, I think it is just like Taiwanese keep saying the shop signs in Taiwan is hideous. Traditional old people want their signs to be huger and brighter than the ones next door. So in Taiwan you can see from shops to shops, the sign gets higher and higher. Although, we have laws about the size of the shop sign, they still give people a really good amount of length and width. And Ben wants to do painting associated with landscape, he said he was kind of inspired by Hannah, our tutor. After talking to the tutor they said he should be more specific, cause it is too wide. So he did a lot of reading, trying to know more what he wants to do. I asked him does he want to paint it in a classical way, depict the details? He said maybe not, it is a little bit too difficult for him to do. And I shared an instagram account to him, it is an artist name KangHee Kim, this person took picture from nature, like clouds and moon. Unlike most people he find the moon in the middle of electrons pole, or a hole from a broken wall. His photograph is funny, it has a highlight on it. When you see it you will be like "Wow, this is so cute"

I went to a place where you can create your own perfume by yourself. This is my first time doing this, a nice staff taught me the basic and then leave myself to it. I have to choose my own top tone, middle tone, and bace tone. Since I want to do with a feeling of waterfall, I imagined the smell I want to have in here has to be include water (smell like blue like nature, and neutral neither masculine nor feminine), the smell of this has to be the major part, and I would like to put something smell like green inside (smell like plant, fresh) and last but not least, I want a little bit floral smell in it, not much but add a little bit so that it can truly smelled like mother nature.

  This is the proportion of my scent I chose six different smell

The blue part is the smell of ocean, fresh, summer, and the purple part would be the woody and oriental, the pink and red part is floral. I put quite a lot of floral in the end, that was not in my plan, I did not put this much in my first version finished outcome. The smell of the ocean combined together is not good enough, BX47 smells kinda pungent, not pungent, I don't know how to describe it perfectly, its not a smoothy smell but it gives people a strong feeling of ocean, so I reduced it into 10%. By increasing the floral, I think this made this perfume sweeter than before, more smoothly, and I chose a oriental smell is because I think the waterfall I choose is from my country, so I put that in it to introducing people it is a waterfall from Asia.

These are the adjective I came up with after smelling the perfume: Fresh, summer, ocean, breeze, Grassy, Wooden, orchid, beach, clean, Easy, Refreshing, Light Sweet, Azure Coast, Light, Morning grass, forest, Light floral, Comfortable, lily, Sea

It is really nice knowing another artist doing this form of art, cause it is not easy to find one. Tomas Saraceno does a lot of interactive installations and sculpture, his works describe the delusion of how the transportation, housing, and their daily life work in utopia. Moreover, He has been recognized as an artist who can use high-technology fluency in his art work. He desires to put up a bridge between arts and science, that is why he always trying to incorporate technology into his artistic creation. Tomas Saraceno says they are pursuing a clearer, sustainable future. While showing his works, he is also reminding people of their symbiotic relationship between the planet and other species. Looking forward fulfilling the communications and interaction between species, is exactly what science, sociology, and anthropology collaborate and generate communication. I can not wait to watch his interviews listening him talking about his works.

I watched three videos by Anicka Yi, talking about visualised abstract, trying to render the source of human's discomfort, anxieties, and intolerance. If you ask who is your favourite artist, most of my classmates can name one for sure. Before Anicka Yi, if you ask me I can share those who I actually learned things from. Maybe one's attitude toward arts, or his style. Now, I think I can finally name one person that can be my favourite. I am not good at oralizing my feeling out, I need time to organise why I love her. She is smart, she reads tons of book to backup her work, self-taught, didn't go to formal fragrance or art education, cooperate with biologists then produce art piece. Her bacteria art pieces are brilliant, I would love to do something like she is doing. mature In my research, I wrote down sometimes I will confused about what am I doing right now is a fine art piece or a design. Now I have a little conclusion that art is just for appreciating, it is not for any particular people; However, I am in another fog, which is the fog that I wanted to ask. Cause since I know (or to say remember) the difference between fine art and design, I am quite disoriented of designing fine art, is not it a way of design. Due to my background was trained to become a designer, and I am here in London right now is because I want to learn fine art instead of design. I think can not get rid of the design tag away from me, it became my weakness.

People talk about how their family do as a career or interest effect their next generation, I strongly believe in it. Jean-Claude Ellena is an example, he also influence his daughter, and he was influenced by the environment as well.

And now I am thinking about the risk assessment: How can people do it without harming the fruit/ trees

I want them to really smell and touch it, is there any way that I still can let them understand without hurting nature?

Maybe leaves on the ground, means I have to find the pictures of the leaves so that they can now what is it look like. And it occurs to me that I love mash leaves when I was young. My kindergarten' s teachers taught me to mash the leaves and then smell them. Probably I can do something with it by the sense of smell. 

 Hearing

Color Vision

1. Feeling (Return 5 senses to original nature)

2.Rethink (Resonating with nature)

3.Action (Sustainable growth)

These three is going to be what we learned after the 17 trees.

17 different actions to nature

5 sense 1.Visual (color) Vision   2.Hearing   3.Smell   4.Taste   5.Tactile

I should go to the waterlow park again to see the orchard that I want to do research with it, cause I'm going to meet my family during the reading week, I should done more before I meet them.

According the list of trees, there are some same type but different variety

I organised them with type
