activism by 2300241 Yue Ying https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb Betty‘s work en-us 2023-07-19 08:23:58 UTC 2023-08-23 02:43:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f607.png week 1 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2648272750 At present, our course is undoubtedly aimed at improving our English level(especially oral English), exercising our independent learning ability and dialectical thinking ability.These two days of classes have brought me a very novel experience. Firstly, the all English course has made me feel a bit exhausted, making me feel confused and even unsure of what I should do. Secondly, unlike my previous teaching methods, we use different learning software, so we need to slowly explore. In terms of teaching methods, the teacher encourages us to actively speak up and express our opinions. I really like this kind of course that combines language and personal ability improvement. Finally, while familiarizing myself with the learning environment, I also need to familiarize with my classmates. I think it needs some time to transition from strangers to friends.
But now I have some doubts, what form is the final assignment in? Is it similar to a defense? What kind of thing should I showcase?
In the future, I am not sure what will happen. There may be group presentations and groups confrontations? But there will definitely be some interesting experiences waiting for me.]]> 2023-07-20 02:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2648272750 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2649052507
I found that my homework was sent incorrectly, and instead of clicking on "add", I should click on "create". No wonder the teacher couldn't open my homework...I feel a bit anxious because I don't understand English, but my friends say it's not a big deal and I'll go out and play tomorrow.]]> 2023-07-21 06:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2649052507 what is activism and activism art? 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2649620811 When I searched on the Internet, I found that a large part of the things about “activism”were negative, so I was a little confused. But later I found that my translation had some problems. Activism was more inclined to behaviorism than bold and defiant aggressive！

Then l found the real meaning of words from "baidubaike".

[n. 1. Positive spirit 2. Initiative 3. Positive Activism] and synonym is
direct action,political action,social action, involvement,engagement.

Then l searched it in "microsoft bing".

[Activism, a philosophical term for activism, holds that the human spirit has a spontaneous and dynamic effect, which is the fundamental cause of the material world, and denies the claim that material comes first.]

Then I want to find the source of this word, and I found it on the English Dictionary website.

[activism (n.)
1920 in the political sense; see activist + -ism. Earlier (1907) it was used in reference to a philosophical theory.]

The next, l want to know what activism art is. I found the illustration in douban.

[As the name implies, art Activism refers to making the art field a medium or place for political resistance or Social action. The reason why this phenomenon occurs in our present era is that it is a "new phenomenon" - it is quite different from the critical art that has been known to the public in recent decades: art Activism are no longer willing to criticize art, politics or social systems only when they are still playing their functions, but hope to change these inherent conditions through artistic means - outside the system, Operate in the real world.]

As I delved deeper into the research, with the help of AI

[Activism art refers to the art form that expresses concern and criticism towards social, political, and environmental issues through artistic creation. It emphasizes that the power of art can be used to convey political and social injustices, and to encourage the audience to think and act. Activism art often focuses on political protest, social change and environmental protection, and involves social justice, Racial equality, gender equality, human rights, poverty and other major issues. This art form can be presented through painting, sculpture, Performance art, photography, Video art, music, drama and other artistic media. Activism art aims to evoke social awareness and participation through emotional impact and ideological motivation, in order to promote social change and progress.]

 I realize that activism art is just useing art creation to express the focus and criticize with society, politics and environment issue.

Goethe wrote in Faust,"in the beginning was the deed".I accidentally saw that and I believe we should strive for freedom and life in order to enjoy the rights of both. In my opinion,this is activism. And use art to express, that is activism art.

I think of a documentary I once watched - Black Whale. It showed me what practical impact a movie can bring. Instead of just making people feel a little sad or laughing off the topic.
Black Whale is a documentary about animal performances, as well as people and animals. On February 24, 2010, a tragic incident occurred in "Ocean World" in Florida, USA. During the performance, veteran whale trainer Dawn Blanche was suddenly dragged into the pool by a male killer whale named Tirikum. In just a few minutes, the woman with a bright smile was killed by her constant companion killer whales. 
This case shocked the United States, but it was not an accident. "Black Whale" revealed the chain of interests and cruel truth behind it.
This movie has given me many deeper thoughts. Do we need a zoo? Should we watch animal shows? Even if we grow up and live with animals, will animals harm humans?
Fortunately, this film not only caused a small number of people to think, but also caused a shock to the entire society, causing everyone to think and reflect.After the release of Black Whale, the public strongly resented the practice of capturing and imprisoning Marine mammal and forcing them to perform through abusive training. Because of this documentary, society has truly changed.After the BBC finished filming the movie, they announced the termination of the killer whale breeding program, saying it was in response to public attitudes.
In my opinion, this documentary is a great work of activism art that truly achieves the goal of using art to change society.]]> 2023-07-23 07:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2649673590 a song touch the soul--activism performation 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2649685557 In modern society, people's psychological problems have become a difficult problem to solve. Psychological problems are invisible and easily overlooked. But there is a song that has reduced the suicide rate in Japan. This song also once brought me a lot of energy.
And this song comes from Mika, who was once the super star and couldn't hear her voice due to illness. In the end, she couldn't even make a sound. But she never gave up. Mika Nakashima, who has always been strong in looking for hope, finally met the  Akita Hiroshi's "Once I wanted to die". In 2015, Mika Nakashima once again walked onto the stage, dressed in a wine red dress, and sang "Once I wanted to die" with all her strength. "Why is everything always going wrong, and why isn't there anyone to help me?"
Everyone who has watched the video will be shocked by this performance! The first time l saw it, l even crying. l think her performance is real activism art. And it is her singing that has comforted many people's hearts in Japan with a high suicide rate. It is said that this song saved many Japanese people who were in despair at the time, and the suicide rate dropped to its lowest point.
l think Mika Nakashima is a truly artist, and in the process of redeeming herself, she has also redeemed others. The unyielding mind conveyed by her singing has been conveyed to everyone's hearts.]]> 2023-07-23 09:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2649685557 Art in sky --activism art 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2649692345 Cai Guo-Qiang is a famous fireworks master and an artist. I really, really like his works.
 In 2014, he held a large-scale fireworks exhibition in Shanghai called "Nine Wave", symbolizing the largest and highest wave. The exhibition faces the environmental issues of the Earth, including China, and tells the relationship between humans and nature. His fireworks carry traditional Chinese aesthetics and poetry, as well as his reflections on nature.
We all know that ordinary fireworks are harmful to the environment, and cai's fireworks use biodegradable toner. In the first act of "Elegy", the fireworks have a heavy color, like gunfire in war, and I can feel sadness and solemnity; The second act "Remembrance" simulates the nebula of the universe, and then all things recover; The third chapter "Comfort" showcases a rich and vibrant color, just like people's expectations of life and nature's tolerance for us, everything returns to tranquility. Without language, we can see everything the author wants to say through the constantly blooming colors in the sky.
As l say, his fireworks art is a truly beautiful Activism art. It has made us realize the importance of the environment and the inevitable symbiosis between humans and nature. And regular fireworks are gradually being banned from use in cities.

At first, I thought it was a profound concept, but it was not. Activism is everywhere in our daily life, ranging from a massive parade, a revolution, to a comment on the Internet. I am shocked by every determined activist who will take proactive action to fight for their own benefit and authority. As long as we fully utilize our subjective initiative, we have the energy to influence others. Activism also has a variety of rich forms of expression. We can give full play to our imagination to think about how we can make our world beautiful, make our society fairer, and make our future brighter.
 
I think we should all become Activism and people who can influence society. Because when there are many bad things happening around us, we always ignore them or underestimate them. Because those negative impacts did not directly affect us, but I believe that if we do not react or resist those negative impacts, they will become stronger and directly affect ourselves.I believe that our personality and humanity are determined by the surrounding environment, but we can react to the environment around us.So we must become a Activism, and if there are more and more Activism in the society (pursuing positive influence), our society will become an extremely beautiful society.

This Collage draw lessons from the images in popular culture, and use image dismemberment and reorganization, which is very consistent with Dada aesthetics. 

Hoch's works aim to eliminate the old  opposition existing in the concept of "new women", and explore the themes including androgyny, political rights and the transformation of gender roles. So l think her work is very conform to activism art.

The brief artistic installation (with a total performance time of 80 seconds) happend on the early morning of June 15,2015, artist Cai Guo-Qiang completed his work "Ladder in the Sky" in his hometown Quanzhou, lt is a really fascinating show. He lit a ladder about 500 meters long made of gunpowder. The half kilometer long ladder was suspended in the night sky by Hot air balloon, and then ignited to burn from bottom to top and extend to the depths of the sky. This is a gift to Cai guoqing’s 100 year old grandmother and also a present to his hometown.
l think the purpose of this project is to create a ladder that extends all the way to heaven, connecting 'Earth and the universe'. The concept behind it comes from the artist's childhood gazing at the starry sky, dreaming of a dialogue with the unknown world.
I was deeply attracted by the visuals in the video, with a deep blue background and the sky blending with the earth. A little flame lit up and slowly spread to the sky. His art is abstract and has a sense of ceremony. The ladder rises towards the sunrise, with hope, and it is also a new journey for artist.

It involves using a brand's influence, resources, and platform to address societal problems or advocate for certain causes. Brand activism goes beyond just corporate social responsibility or philanthropy, as it involves taking a public stand and using the brand's voice to create positive change. This can include supporting and promoting causes, creating campaigns, using advertising or marketing to raise awareness, and aligning the brand's values with those of various social or political movements.
 
Synopsis：Brand activism refers to the practice of companies or brands taking a stance on social, political, or environmental issues. It involves using the brand's influence and resources to support causes and advocate for positive change.
 
In my opinion，brand activism is how brands find ways to promote change in all aspects, and use their influence to promote consumer groups, so that each other's values have a deeper connection.

This is one of the most destructive and unforgettable images in the painting. On her right is the head and part of the body of a large white cow, which is the only calm figure in the chaos. Underneath her, a dead and injured man had his arm cut off and his hand dismembered, holding a broken sword. In the center stood a frightened horse, screaming in pain with its mouth open, its side pierced by a long spear. On the right are three other women. A person rushed in and looked up at the bright light bulb at the top of the scene. Another woman poked her head out of the window of the burning house, her extended arm holding a lamp, while the third woman seemed trapped in the burning building, screaming in fear and fear. All their faces were twisted with pain.
 
Although the composition of this painting looks very chaotic, it is not difficult to see the composition of Picasso's classical school of painting. Picasso balanced the composition by grouping three vertical groups, while the central image remained stable in the large triangle in the middle. This painting is colorless, but in 1937, all the news reports people saw were in black and white, which not only reflected his inspiration, but also hinted that this was an objective fact.There is almost endless debate about the meaning of Guernica's image. When asked about its possible symbolic significance, Picasso said that it was just an appeal to people about the slaughtered people and animals. Some people also believe that the bull is a symbol of fascism.
 
When this work was exhibited at the World Expo, it received mixed reviews. It's too avant-garde for Spanish officials. But then its fame grew, and it traveled around the world to raise funds for the cause of the republic. No works of art in the 20th century have ever left a far-reaching impact like Guernica. It has become a universal symbol of indiscriminate slaughter and a symbol of peace.

But I am very grateful for this course because it taught me how to think deeply and allowed me to view problems more dialectically. This is obviously different from the learning mode I used to have in school. The current mode is more free and abstract. At first, I had some discomfort, but gradually it improved. We also got to know many paintings and learned how to analyze them. Regarding my shortcomings, first of all, I realized that I don't have enough time and I need to constantly balance. Secondly, my vocabulary accumulation is still insufficient. Finally, I still have doubts about teamwork. Regarding my solution, I have decided to abandon some daily activities and focus on vocabulary accumulation (synonyms, conjunctions).

1. Regarding homework, although I can complete the general content, there are still many issues with the details.
2. Although the class content can be roughly understood, there are always some words and what the teacher says that cannot be understood. 
3.The efficiency of homework is very low, and it takes a lot of time to do homework. 
My solution: 1. Be more serious and pay more attention to grammar and other details. 2. Do more listening exercises, including extracurricular time, watch more English videos, listen to conversations, and focus on word accumulation. 3. Plan homework well, arrange time reasonably, and remember the highlight points in class.]]> 2023-08-14 11:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2661439389 HedgingLanguage 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2661489405 2023-08-14 13:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2661489405 essay practice 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2663158886 2023-08-16 06:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2663158886 reflection on presentation 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2664323545 After comparing my demonstration video with the standards provided by the teacher, I found that I have the following issues. 
Firstly, pronunciation. There are several unfamiliar words that are often mispronounced and not fluent.
Secondly, there is too much content in the slide, which can make people focus on words rather than what I say. 
Thirdly, there is a lack of literature, bibliography is incomplete.
Fourthly, I've talked too much, i need to controlling the duration.
My solution: 
1. Practice pronunciation more and practice what you want to say more. 
2. Delete text other than keywords and focus more on the content being told.
3. Improve the literature. complete the bibliography.
4. Pay attention to the topic and the key points i want to talk about.]]> 2023-08-17 06:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2664323545 task 1 final work 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2666545226 2023-08-20 02:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2666545226 week 5 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2666548534 The last week made me feel that time passed really quickly, and I felt that my English proficiency had improved in all aspects. The final task 1 was finally submitted after three changes (there were too many formatting errors), and I am glad that task 2 does not require too many changes. In the process of learning, I have learned the importance of integrity. The cost of cheating is high, and we must not cheat. The course is about to end. Thank you very much for your guidance. The teacher is very responsible and serious, l very like her!]]> 2023-08-20 03:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2666548534 my design 23002416 https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2669530268 2023-08-23 02:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/23002416/qnt9j2m759juj4jb/wish/2669530268
