In this moving image lesson，i drew lots of pictures of the situation to make a video of pictures. This is one of the situation when the tattoo boy buy the clothes to cover his body. He is looking at the mirror and smile to himself. after this picture is he goes to shower and takes out all of the clothes，we can see lots of tattoo when he take clothes out.

I felt really hard for me when i was drawing these work，because my sketching is not that good，so i didn’t draw it well. I can see there is no detail for the situation and the character.

However，i have lots of area can be improved in this project，even for drawing these pictures. If give me one more change，i will focus on practice my sketching skill. I hope next time i can do it well！

in this lesson i did the mannequin maquette of my u6. My theme is human body internal organs，so i made some staff about the internal organs. Firstly，i used lots of wire to make a shape，then i used plasma to cover the paper make an internal organs，and the staff on the wire. I also used fabric to make a brain which is stick on the wire.

I felt really enjoy when i doing this staff. Because i can create what i expect. I used the whole afternoon to make it，the main material i used is paper，because i think it is easy to dye the color. Gule gun is helped me a lot to connect the wire and the paper and fabric. I tried use something can connect them，however it’s not useful.

I made some mistake when i doing this mannequin maquette. I didn’t try to dye the fabric，so that is what i can improve at the next time.

We are doing the final sculpture in the last week. These are my outcomes picture. Because my theme is human body (internal organs). So i decided to use lots of plasma to cover the materials. Finally，i used in this outcome. I did a brain and some internal organs as the main items. And also i used wire to connect them together，i imaged the wire as the vessel. And also，i used red pigment to dye my fabric，the back of the item which is i dyed and spared lots of plasma to make them have two layers. And also i used transparent plastic bag to make a shape of an internal organs. After that，i putted lots of paper which are covered lots of plasma inside the transparent plastic bag.

I felt successful with this outcome，and also when i was making the outcome，i were really enjoying. Because this theme is what i interested，the outcomes are also what i expected. During the whole process，i never felt bored with this theme. Such as i went to the exhibition to do some primary research，i felt really impressed and i recived lots of knowledges without my theme. That broaden my horizon with art.

However，there are some details of the outcome can be improved. Such as the wire，i can use some red fabric to cover it. That will be fabulous. Next time i do this project，i will focus on the detail before start to making. I would like to make a particular plan of that.

In this lesson，we learned how to make shibori. It is quite complex work because it has lots of process and different tools to prepare.We need to choose a fabric which is made by 100% cotton，Then i folded it and using iron machine made the kink mark clearly . After that，i putted two plastic at the two sides of cotton. And i put it in the dye box for ten minutes. Then after ten minutes can take it out with gloves.

I felt funny at that lesson，and i producted my own outcome of shibori. I like my outcome，that is what i expected at the moment.

In the future，i would like to practise my shibori skill and i believe that can help me a lot when i doing development projects.

In this class, we start to do the body sculpture mannequin maquette，but i have not done my collage，so i did my collage design on that lesson. At the first，we have to take three sides picture of our partner. Then print it as the basis of collage. After that，we put some tiny bit material one the pictures to decide what kind of shape will we made. We have to make 3 different collage design for our project. There are two of my collage design on the top.

I felt really interest when i doing the collage design，because that’s a creative work so i enjoy the whole process. And also i felt extreme fun. I found some different materials which i thought can be matched with my topic. I got lots of inspiration from my primary and secondary research. Most of them came from the photo i took in the exhibition which is called body world. That exhibition gave me lots of impression and i hope i can develop the idea from the bodyworld art staff.

Next time i do collage design，i would like to find more materials can put into my work，and also i will try to make some more design by pen drawing. I am looking for my improving at the next time.

In this lesson，i have learned how to make storyboard. First of all，we had seen some outcomes from last year students. I felt it is really difficult because I am not good at sketch draw, I am afraid of my outcome is not good enough. To be honest, I don’t like to watch cartoons, I think people who are good at this project should be like watching anime. and my theme is tattoo boy be discriminated in China. So I decided to use zombie boy as my inspiration.

In the beginning, I had drawn 4 different casual character head. The first one I imitated by the photograph of zombie boy. Then I developed my idea from the zombie boy head. After that, I started to develop the detail of the head. I chose two of them to enlarge and color them. Finally, I chose one of them to develop a whole body character. I chose the last one as the character head and I decided his body is strong and covered by lots of tattoos.

I didn’t turn out the way I hoped because of my sketch skill. If I can draw it well, I think the character will be more realistic. To achieve a better result, I need to practice in my drawing skill. I hope next time I will see my improvements.

In this lesson，i learned what is motif. And I had drawn some motif in different ways. At the beginning of the lesson. I felt really difficult because my drawing is not good enough to make a nice motif. And also, I chose the wrong theme. Finally, I decided to take furniture as my theme.

We used different ways to make motifs. We have to imitate the artist style and draw or paint motif related to our theme. Unfortunately, I didn’t achieve what I set out to because I don’t really understand the importance of motif and I did the wrong way to imitate the artist style.

What I learned is how to avoid the mistake when I draw an artist style motif. The next time I do this activity I will focus on the analysis of motif of different artists style.

This week is trip，we went to different place for each day. We have been margate to see the beach and gallery. The gallery is really impressed me because it’s really modern gallery. I can see lots of technologies. This artwork is my favorite in this gallery. It looks like a universe and starry sky. It’s a nice place for thinking.

Then，we also went to London v and a museum on Friday. It is huge！i saw lots of countries culture in the museum. And also i found lots of furnitures in this museum. So i took lots of photos which are related my theme.

In Cambridge，there is also a gallery we have been. I found lots of furnitures in this gallery as well. It is a nice place，the interior design is brilliant. I love this style of atmosphere. I enjoyed stay in this environment，so i stay here until 3 pm. I also did some drawing of the furniture and skeleton model.

We also went to Oxford to do some life drawing and visit a museum. The museum is big as well. I found lots of interesting things in this museum，such as lots insect，animal，skeleton specimens. And also i went to an area which have lots of staff and information related to tattoo. I am so surprised.

However，this week i learned a lot. Especially，broaden my horizon. In the future，i would like to visit more exhibitions.

Performing movement.

In this lesson，i hace learned how to make a sculpture by ourselves. Because my theme is human internal organs，so i decided to make a pair of lung. First of all，i use red paper and white paper to cover the cloth. So i made it looks like a lung shape. I made a healthy lung and a damaged lung which can contrast and express the damage of smoking. So i made another lung which is black and brown. I used brown paper to cover the black cloth and put some red paper on the top. After that，i used red cloth to cover a long wire，i wanted to make a vessel to connect the two lungs.

However i felt really interested during making the sculpture. This is the second time to making sculpture. I felt successful during the whole process because i followed my idea and the outcome is what i expected.

In retrospect，if i had given myself more time and more choice of materials. i figure i will do it much better. I believe after this lesson，i basically realized how to making a sculpture. I think next time i will get better and i will see my improvement. From now on，i will try to practice more in the future and achieve a better result.
