List ideas about kites
- CONTROVERSIAL, For me, Kites are a toy but also a  symbol for free and fly on one side, on the other side, it represents chained.
- CREATIVE: because just make sure the structure is right, then pretty much you can do everything about it, you an draw, you can glue, you can cut and etc.
- BIRDS: kites for me it relates to birds because they all fly up in the sky and they all can be chained and restrained.
- Path to Heaven. When I fly a kit L always thought kite contains some wishes and words I want to say and express then I will deliver it up the sky.
List of artists
1) Tetsuya Kishida. A Japanese artist, his kites are huge, as tall as a strong man. Also his painting is really Japanese like.
2) 魏国秋 Guoqiu Wei, a famous Chinese kite artist. He had grown up in a traditional kite making family. All his art work is really Chinese like.

For this art work I mainly used acrylic paints to set the background and color pencils for the other small eyes. In general the painting looks like one side is black and the other side is white. This is because I want to express two different feelings on my painting, because if you look closely, you will find out that on the white side of the painting, eyes are quit peaceful and with happy or normal feelings. On the dark side the eyes are more sharp and fearful. I tried to build a obvious contract between colors and content.
As for why, we are say eyes is the window for hearts, in my opinion eyes some how represents ourself. We use eyes to see, to discover, more importantly we use eyes to express our thoughts and feelings. Also artists have different ways of showing and drawing eyes, that's why I used different style to represent each of the eyes which we could refer to the diversity of human beings.

This painting is about a girl with flowers around her. I won't really say that this girl is myself, but it is something that I created from my english name "flower".
The colors I choose:
For skin, I mainly used brown mix white, one reason is because I think this is more relates to the earth color which kind of represents soil.
For flowers, I used a lot of warm colors because I tried to build a contrast between the cold sky and the warm flowers. However I also used purple which is cold color for flowers because I think this corresponds to the blue sky.
Flower has been my name for so long, more than 10 years. Although people thought it's strange, I still keep it because I thought it would be me. As for this painting, this is the imaginary flower for me. Flower for me is a gentle, warm and peaceful woman. Thus I just paint this painting completely follow my heart.
I really like the process, because this is like discovery my self as well.

1) Personal: What connections can you make to other things your have seen?
Answer: When I was small, my father gave me black and white comic books which shows the Chinese history. This printing brings back my memories and makes me remember the comic books.
2)Theme: What is it about?What is happening?
This print shows a scene of Ancient Chinese story, it has real historical background but add the same time people add dramatic elements in the story. The print is separated in to two parts, the second one happens in 3 empire ages which is about 2000 years ago, when an emperor from Shu, married the princess in another country Wu. The title of the print is 龙凤配, dragon and Phenix.
3)Form: What kind of surface you see? Is there texture?
I could see imply texture in the print, such as the pattern on the clothes of the man and woman, also the rigid lines which draw the furniture and the buildings. I think this is like a contour drawing.
4)Context: Can you relate it to other arts of it's time, music, literature, film?
I could remember one famous book at that time, Qing density - The Romance of the Three Kingdoms(三国演义)

Printmaking is a process of making an artwork through printing. While this process may be wrongly associated with mass production, the printing process in creating these art masterpieces is still considered unique because of the intrinsic quality that makes every print different from each other.
1. How is the print image composed? (arranged)
The painting is about a short hair woman which to me looks like chimpanzee and her can't.

2. Does it use only foreground/background?

(figure/ground) (positive/negative)
It used the figures to fulfill her backdrop such as the cat and sticks, also the author used negative space.
ps: this is a historical example, because this counted as an early work.

His artwork unlike other tradition Chinese paintings I have seen before, his painting is consist of little parts individually. Looks closely you will find there are spaces between each parts which differ them with others. Also he add something new into his painting - Chinese characters. His lines are special, some of his lines are separate like the trees and crops but some of objects like rocks and small mountains are connected using one line. At first I thought the painting looks a bit messy, however there is a lot to discover if you look closely.

Etsuko Ichikawa's lines has lots of variety. Some of them are thick and heavy, some of them are light and thin. Most of her lines are curved and it's vary natural. Thus her painting looks not just combination of lines but more like lines are dancing freely and naturally.

Kiki Smith is a 3D and 2D artist, most of her work is about woman and children, so she is considered as a feminist, during my research I mainly focuses on her 2D artwork. The painting below is called hair. Seems like the painting is consist by hair! However this is a painting. Her lines are connected to each other they are smooth and seems like the painting is finished in one lines. The painting is confusing because it's so abstract, however if we know the topic it would be easier for us to connect the messiness to hair.

Daniel Zeller's style is so different from others. (To be honest I think his painting is little bit spooky because the lines are tooooo dense) His lines are thin but dense. He focuses on the details, if you look closely, you will find out lots of different patterns hid inside a shape. I think the most significant object in his painting(the painting below) is the yellow and blue thing. I feel everything are generat from this big blue ball. It feels like cells.

James Valerio's lines are vivid, to me they are like the camera who could draw exactly the same thing which he sees. The painting below is all about curve. The curly hair of the woman, the curves of the bracelet the woman wears, the curly pattern of the wall paper and the curves of woman body. His lines are thick and black or gray. The color of lines varies depends on the lights. (his sketch work are awesome!)

Zhi Lin (China)
Some of my feelings: Zhi Lin is famous for painting images about the great culture revolution. His paintings are remarkable, it has loads of details we could discover. His lines are smooth and dense. Actually in my opinion the best part of his paintings are not lines but the colors he used to vary different object. The most significant object in his painting(the painting about the great culture revolution) is the giant dragon dance on the street which represents the culture revolution happens in China.

Agnes Denes' drawing is very special because of her lines are consisting of dots. Her painting is abstract as matter in fact we even don't know what she was drawing but this gives us space to think to imagine what she was drawing. She doesn't like other artist, she only focus on one thing in this painting - trees. She used trees, make them as dots and use these dots to draw the mountain.
