This week we learned a lot of things, such as how to make a good presentation, how to make a good poster and academic photo reference. I felt very tired and very difficult because I had never written an academic paper or academic reference before. I often didn't know what poster I should make, what topic I should write, and how to make a good presentation.

However, this week, under the guidance of my tutor Jamie, I still learned a lot of skills, such as how to distinguish the quality of a poster, how to correctly reference to it, and we need to find an academic website to find the real information. We also found three links to help ourselves make an academic poster. I found that under the guidance of the tutor, we can clearly make an academic poster that is neither good nor bad.

So, I still have a lot of things to improve. For example, in terms of presentation, I am often too nervous. I must find ways to improve. In terms of posters, my own posters are far inferior to those of my classmates, so I add more information and interesting pictures.

This morning in class, each of us practiced presentations. I felt particularly nervous because I was afraid of speaking in front of people.

However, this also allowed me to see other classmate‘s presentations and I found that there were many things I could learn, such as confidence and poster design.

So I think my poster needs to be improved. I should add more reference materials. I think I could have done better as long as I was not nervous during the presentation. Next time, I will try to make my poster as perfect as possible, memorize my article, and make more eye contact with my classmates.

Mini Presentation: Research Journey So Far

# data[].attributes.body
I think the UCA course is very interesting and I look forward to the class every day. I think I need to master more words to improve my vocabulary, which will be helpful for my future study. I think I need to work hard to improve my seriousness in class and the practice and application after class. I think the class I am taking now is very helpful for my oral communication and listening, because I have been lacking this kind of practice in my daily life. I hope that after the course, I can smoothly enter UCA to study and improve my language. I will be more proactive in communicating and learning in my future studies.

this website discuss about MUJI identity

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
MUJI was founded in 1980. Its origin was a thorough rationalization of the manufacturing process with an eye to creating simple, low-cost, good quality products. Specifically, we reexamined products through three lenses: material selection, inspection process and packaging simplification. For instance, if you omit the bleaching process for pulp, the resulting paper is light beige in color. MUJI used this paper for its packaging and labels. The ensuing products are remarkably pure and fresh. In notable contrast to the prevailing over-embellished products in the marketplace, MUJI’s products both won great appreciation and sent shock waves not only through Japan but across the entire world.

There are more than 1,000 MUJI stores around the world, carrying more than 7,000 items ranging from clothing and household goods to food and even houses.
But the foundation of our ideology hasn't changed since the day we were conceived;
like the compass that points due North,we continue to orient ourselves to the basis and universality of daily life.

Last week we learned how to find a correct article and how to find a real article. I found it very difficult because I have never written a real paper and used the correct search tools.

The papers searched without using the correct tools are not authentic. The teacher told us that we need to use UCA LIbrary and Google Scholar to find available materials. This is very difficult for me because I find it is not easy to find an article that matches my ideas. The number of group discussions increased last week. I feel that I am more and more confident in group discussions and speak more and more.

I think this is a very good change for me. I need to find the source of the paper and eliminate the wrong information in the future. I have spoken many times in class. I hope that I can express more opinions and overcome embarrassment in group discussions in the future.

PCA – Referencing for Beginners (I).docx

Today I shared with you my favorite place, the riverside. At the beginning, I was very nervous and forgot the words and got confused many times, but when I finished speaking, I was very happy to see that the students applauded me.

I think my presentation was very bad because I didn't arrange it well. I will improve it next time.

I think Clara's speech was very good because I think she was very confident and fluent in her speech. She was also very patient and explained very clearly when answering the students' questions. My favorite reflection is Flint's because I think her introduction to Qingdao is very interesting and makes me want to go there to play.

Identity is important for artists and designers. Do you agree or disagree

# data[].attributes.body
Identity for artists and designers is very important. However, I think Identity is important for artists and designers.

In the first place, I think when a painter or designer has a good and recognized identity, their popularity and works will be liked by more people. Because identity gives meaning and social value to the work. Such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol they all rely on their likable identities and unique artistic talents to gain fame in their respective fields.

Secondly, Identity helps artists and designers create original and personal work. Because when you understand you identity well enough, you can more efficiently create your own unique style and ideas in your future works. Moreover, identity recognition can help you better control the ideas you want to express during your creative process, and it will prevent you from making unnecessary mistakes in your work.

All and all, I belief identity is very important whether you are artists、designers or Ordinary People because it can let more different.

The second week passed quickly. I am still looking forward to this class because interesting things often happen in class and I can learn knowledge that I have never known before.

We discussed identity, how to use artificial intelligence, and how to take notes correctly in class. This week, I spoke more frequently in class because tutor Jamie told me that I need to become more confident.

Secondly, I found that I have many shortcomings. For example, in terms of notes, I usually record a lot of unimportant content and ignore the important content. There are still many contents and words in class that I don’t understand.

From now on, I will change my note-taking habits, strive to write short and easy-to-understand notes, and strive to learn more words so that I can understand and take notes efficiently in the future. I also need to speak more actively in class to improve my shortcomings in speaking.

Today I made two paper airplanes, one in class and one after class. I tried this method, such as changing the nose of the airplane from sharp to flat, and from a small airplane to a large airplane.i wanted to see whether why changing the nose and size of the airplane would have a greater impact on the stability and flight distance of the airplane.

The result is that the airplane really flies more steadily and far, this was just what i wanted.

This makes me think that I can change a method to complete some questions that I don’t know or things that bother me after class. I found that most of the time it is possible. For example, when I don’t understand the questions in the PCA homework after class, I can listen to the listening materials several times or slow down the listening to let me understand the words one by one.

So, I wonder what would happen if, I will repeatedly understand the places I don’t understand in the teacher’s class and the questions I don’t understand in the PCA test. Therefore, I may have to spend more time than usual to learn English, but I think it is worth it

I understand that this project is about identity, and I find it very interesting because we discussed a lot of different opinions and insights in class. What I find difficult in class is my thoughts. I think my thoughts are still not very brilliant. It is difficult for me to think of some interesting ideas. Also, my language makes it difficult for me to understand what I hear in class. Next, I need to open my mind so that I can express my ideas.

I chose Alphonse Mucha, an artist from the late 19th century, who is a representative of the Art Nouveau movement. He created many unique works and is famous for his unique decorative painting style. The elegant and mysterious female images in his paintings are combined with natural elements to form a unique and gorgeous visual language.

Mucha's works are a unique memory of my childhood. I remember that when I first saw Mucha's works, I fell in love with this unique style of painting. The winding curves in his paintings are like plant vines and women's hair. The female images are combined with the moon, stars, and mythological elements, making the picture transcend simple beauty.

In his works, I saw the mysterious part of his identity. Mucha joined the mystical society in Paris in his early years. The frequent appearance of star halos and religious symmetrical compositions in his works revealed his yearning for transcendental spirit. This attitude of regarding art as a "bridge between the secular and the sacred" is similar to my need to find inner order through creation.

Looking at Muxia’s works reminded me of some things about my high school training. Muxia’s works are very different from the painting style I learned in high school. He does not pursue three-dimensionality and eye-catchingness. He uses flatness and decoration to highlight the center of the picture. Every time I copy the vines wrapped around his paintings, I am dissecting the spiral structure of my own cultural genes; every time I plagiarize his star halo, I am smuggling a beam of light confirming my existence in the black hole-like self-doubt. His works are my salvation during my high school training.
