In today’s lessons，we produced to saw some example for art activism. I feel the art might is the best way to help people think about serious reality problems. There are many art works make me impressive.

  I was totally attracted that these artworks can lead the people into some questions about reality, because these artworks can bring an intuitive taste to audiences. Not only they can shock audiences’ eyes, of course they can produce some contact to people life.

  What I learned from these artworks is that different artistic form can bringing different experiences to the audience. For example, interactive art can contact audiences because thinking arises through interaction.

We believe that this way allows everyone to understand each other and refer to each other.

On my experience, what is most impressive is apple company’s Environmental protection policy. They use recycled materials, and do not put charger into the product box. Customers must buy a charger on other ways, in this process, it might be boring more waste environment. I complete understand with this policy, because companies are important part of human, should take care of relation of human and natural.

Now I can see the environmental problems is not just one way to fix it or make it better than before, companies maybe do not the perfect that can make everybody be satisfied on products. Even customers can do something to care about environment policy. For example, reduce the frequency of replacing electronic products.

I really loved the story that le seed introduced to us. The whole artwork biased on this historical lovely little pome. And Banksy's works are highly iconic and have had a significant impact on society. , mainly pointed to social issues and phenomena.

What I learned about these artists is, I should input more thinking more about social issues, culture issues.

From now on, I will try to integrate painting with my thinking, artwork is not just about things on paper.

I'm thinking that if they don't remain anonymous, it could lead to personal attacks, because there will be many people in the world who oppose artistic expression. People's response to guerrilla girls is positive because their art advocates for feminism and various forms of social change. They will act thought posting posters on the street. and giving speeches to resonate with people.

I am thinking that the art world can choose to join in response to this exposure data, or use them to Support for Gender equality.

These lessons told us we should be honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility.  I think we should follow the academic community.

It wasn’t as easy as it looked because the unconscious in life can lead you to violate these rules. You should take attention.

Honesty means we make sure the ideas come from ourselves; fairness means you don’t use others work; trust means other people can believe you work and your values; respect means you need respect everyone around you; responsibility means you must take attention of you study and various academic values.

What I learned is that to prevent your academic be misguided, students can do many things to make confirm. Join exam honestly, following research policy, doing the “right thing”, if you tough the thing that make you do not understand, you can ask tutor.  

From now on, I will try to follow these guideline start at myself.

John Lennon hopes he can see this world. I feel dream world are wonderful and lovely. I believe that all artist imaged a various utopia world and hope them become to reality.

Peace! No wars! no pain!

If heaven, hell, religion, countries, possessions are all gone, what a peaceful equality world, I can not stop thinking about these imagines, everyone are kindly and lovely to welcome every beautiful day. Maybe it heard little terrible, but I really like utopia world. I believe that if this world exists, it will be better place.

In my opinion, this song is little idealistic, because of the fact world always are complex than imagine.

Nowadays, <imagines> still very popular, I think it because the fact world does not get better and better, the war still happened, people still lack freedom and happiness.

I really hope world getting better and better.

I shotted this picture at 23. octember.2023. at that time, I saw a beautiful reflect at the subway station class, I used my camera captured it, after that I back to home, I try to though the Adobe photoshop software to change the color to respect the Edward. As you can see, I try to get a green and red color bias. And try my best to keep high light part and dark part contrast. I don’t want to

Edward was told a lot to audience about something happening at his paint, but my artwork did not try to tell something. The nighthawks have a cold overall tone and warm light tone, however, I try to make a same atmosphere on the photo, highlight the light source and turn to warm feeling, make dark visual turn to green between the blue. The high contrast is also one of nighthawks characteristics, whereas, I try to make the same effect on my photo.

so, I wonder why public art are not popular in my city. Where I am living is native place Hebei. I tried to analyze why this happened, in my opinion, there are the following reasons. First, with the rapid growth of China's economy, the cultural development of some areas cannot keep up with the economic development in time，As a result, people's art appreciation level has not been effectively cultivated.

Second, public art has not attracted enough attention from the government.

Third, due to the relative concentration of political power, the government pays more attention to political propaganda slogans than to art.

Even though China's economy develops rapidly and can achieve satisfactory results in a short period of time, cultural development cannot develop as fast as economic development.

I asked a lot of people around me, friends, and family. They all know little about public art and even have no concept of this art form. But on the contrary, there are a lot of political propaganda slogans in public areas, which I think is the country to better concentrate power become controllable, to have a subtle influence on people.

What I learned is rises and falls tone can make your presentation can gives people a sense of relief, it can help you work off nerves and helps convey message.

I try to reflective my presentation that I did before, I realized that I did not do a tone change, even audience cannot hear my voice, means that I must change myself in presentation.

I was so hurry in presentation that I did before, now I know “slower better than fast” is important thing.

From now on, I will try to exercise my tone and body language, try my best to use them in my future presentations.

First of both artists, Olafur Eliasson used a simple installation a solar LED lights which told people “People feel connected to the lives of others in places that are far away geographically.” (Olafur Eliasson,2020). When you hold this small installation, you will realize that the sun is indispensable part of human and connect us. (Olafur Eliasson, 2020). This artwork shows Olafur Eliasson can change world certain extent, not only just a little sun, but it can also make people together spiritually.

Second artist, El Seed used Arabic calligraphy creative a new art draws. He believe his artworks can prompt questions about contemporary issues (Bengoechea,I. 2016),  “eL Seed’s art seeksto celebrate communication, open-mindedness and freedom in opposition to such restraints on art. “ (Bengoechea ,I . 2016). He just uses a simple word he can change the people imagination at the world.

In my opinion, the Olafur Eliasson is most effective artist, because he lead people “more tolerant of difference and of one another” (Bengoechea,I. 2016).he make us rethink about global challenges, and connect people together just a simple installation.

In conclusion, both artists are effective of the world, but I think Olafur Elisson is most effective at worldwide.

There is no doubt that artwork cannot change the world. “Art is not meant to change the world, enable you to change the world.” (JR, 2011). When people saw the artworks, they will act inspired of artworks, the world that make up by people can changed.

In conclusion, artworks change the world indirectly, that is arts effective.

On my way, I saw a woman stand here, and I be drow attention on her aim.

I knew that an early morning frost had destroyed their crops and generate 3,000 workers had lost their jobs.

I feel very unfortunately，It's not as easy as it looks.

I decided to take some pictures of them.

I tried a lot of different angles, but all of them are not enough to express emotion.

I took photos, but it took some time to get the perfect shot.

I try to

I had spent too many times to get the perfect shot.

Luckily, I hit a perfect shot from the right Angle.

Even though there are some internet problems, but everyone completed their presentation perfectly. There are lots of thing that I learn from their works.

First, I learned is I can do more better on the sketch. When I saw other’s design, I realize that I can draw on the picture directly. And paint some color on it, it can make my design more visible.

Second, when I was in presentation, I feel my speech is not fluent, I must practice many times until I can lead my audience into my presentations. Or I can prepare some sticky notes, write some key words to remind me what I should to speak.

At now on, I will practice my expression skill, prepare more perfectly.

This is not the final design because i will take more cpmplete.
