Manifesto Art Project

Week15

I like a part of it. In fact, part of "abstract art" is very direct, returning to the shape, line, and color of the picture, it should be easy to understand. Feeling difficult to understand may be that you have preset a goal of what you want to achieve before watching it. Whether it is modern art or contemporary art, it may not be as easy to appreciate as classical art, because part of the latter is to be painted like, and many people have critical standards. When facing modern art, the standard of evaluation is aphasia. In fact, people should not be blamed for not being able to understand, because viewing these works requires aesthetic experience. There are relatively few domestic related exhibitions, and there are many in Europe and the United States, so they have aesthetic experience. If you like art and want to understand the future story of modern art, you need to learn to speak again, at least learn to be obedient again, and then slowly form your own views and opinions.

What art is most challenging for you? Why?What makes an artwork good or bad?

I think it is abstract art. Abstract art is the most difficult to understand in all kinds of paintings. It does not express the objective image of the real world, nor reflects the real life. It is not a scene or a portrait, which makes the true meaning of the picture elusive. We are seeing those lines that have no shape, only seemingly messy lines, and we really don't understand the artistic atmosphere inside.

First, judging the quality of an artwork is largely due to its artistry. And this judgment requires the appreciator to have an artistic vision and cultivation.

Second, there are trends in every era. Whether an artwork meets the trend is a big factor in whether an artwork is valuable.

Thirdly, the integrity of the artwork is the most important evil compared to a piece of artwork. If the best artwork is broken or damaged, its value and appreciation will be greatly reduced. Of course, things like Venus with a broken arm are exceptional.

Love the Art, Hate the Artist

Love the Art, Hate the Artist, the video shows that an artwork appears in front of us. This artwork becomes very valuable or perfect, but we don’t know the process of making this artwork. What is it like? In the video, it is said that the appearance of some artworks will be some insults to women. This seems very bad, but the speaker in the video keeps saying that we must understand what we are consuming, so we must know us How the things being consumed affect our lives or the lives of others. Where is the art of hurting others.

Just as we complain in our lives that it is not harmful to our mental health. Complaining is like the rubbish produced in our daily life. We produce a little bit every day, which seems insignificant. But when it accumulates bit by bit, it becomes a big problem. We need to provide a special storage place for garbage, and it will even "invade" our normal living environment.

What types of art are you most drawn to? Why?Has an artwork ever changed your mind about something? Explain.

Auditory art, visual art and audiovisual art. Fine art is a kind of visual art.

I think that artwork is the presentation of the artist’s thoughts. If we say that an artwork will change our minds, then I think that if I am appreciating an artwork and make changes to some things, I think my The thinking is to agree with the artist's expression. It is not that he changed us, but that we accepted his work and the idea of his work.

"The divine love shown on the cross embraces my soul. No painting or sculpture can comfort my heart anymore"-Michelangelo

Since Roman times, the stories in the Bible and the deeds of Jesus and his apostles have been important themes of artistic expression. With the changes in the humanistic spirit, social environment, and church power in each age, Bible stories have different interpretations.

In addition, the personal life experience and life process of each artist also makes their works different in their expressions. Most artists make paintings or sculptures according to the preferences of the church or princes and nobles they commissioned. Only a few can truly grasp the spirit of the Bible, plus their broad minds, delicate and sensitive sensibilities, and rich experience. Life experience, creating moving works of art.

During the Renaissance to which he belonged, because of the renewed interest in Greek and Roman art, he paid special attention to the description of the human body. With the prevalence of Neo-Plato's thought, people are full of self-confidence in themselves, believing that using their own wisdom can penetrate the truth in the universe. In particular, the artist believes that the creativity given by the gods should be used to pursue the ideal and perfect spirit of ancient art. Michelangelo is one of the most representative.

His famous works such as "The Statue of David" and "Genesis" are all based on the Bible, but they also incorporate Neo-Platonian thought, emphasizing the perfect combination of reason and emotion, spirit and body.

However, on a "Mr. Virgin and Child" carved a few years before his death, we see the most moving hope for salvation. At this time, the proportions of the human body and the power of the muscles are no longer the focus of performance. He once said in a poem written in his later years: "The sacred love shown on the cross embraces my soul. No painting or sculpture can comfort my heart anymore." This verse may tell him the most. When creating the mind!

Regarding the video that the teacher asked us to watch, the video was shot at the top of the dining table from the beginning. The mother prepared the utensils for the tableware, and then asked the children to eat. Let’s move on to the prayer before dinner. Although I don’t quite understand the meaning of this art video, the name of this video is called Manifesto. I think this is a kind of ritual manifesto in life?

What makes art successful?

1. Market

2. Provide something new. For example: new ways of looking at the world, new concepts...

3. The artist himself

Week 12

In reading, I saw a question, are you confused by technology, entertainment and/or consumerism? I think this issue is a very important issue up to now. The article also said that people spend 20-60 hours on the Internet every day, they no longer desire to live in real life, they try to escape from life, they don’t want to develop their cultural manufacturing talents, they just want to stay in their own room Playing on the computer. They became mentally useless people.

Therefore, since the birth of civilization, the behavior of entertainment has been developing from beginning to end. Take art as an example. Literature, painting, sculpture, drama, dance, music, architecture, movies, including current video games. The first seven were gradually developed in the long history of human civilization, and mankind has never thought of abandoning them. The history of movies is only a hundred years, while video games are only 77 years old, both of which have grown and developed value for human civilization. The nature of the nine great human arts is not divorced from the category of entertainment, and they all provide means to reflect the most natural state of mankind. So from the bottom level, from the genetic point of view, entertainment to death is a choice of human beings, a result of human pursuit of their own instincts, and a pursuit of the human self. This kind of desire itself exists in our genes, and the science and technology mentioned in the subject only inspires it. In other words, like a patient with congenital diabetes, his or her ability to metabolize lactose is very poor, and practical sugars are like eating a life-saving charm. But is the sugar itself wrong? There is no problem with sugar. The problem lies in human metabolism. If you don’t realize that the problem lies with you, you will blame the foreign objects...Technology leads to entertainment to death, because genes want us to entertain to death. The entertainment brought by technology to death proves that it is not advisable to completely obey genes and act instinctively. By the way, I can also sing the commendation of the human spiritual world and the commendability of free will. We should be grateful to science and technology. Without it, human instincts have catalyzed a large number of anti-intellectual behaviors, and human beings do not know how to place their instincts.

How can art be made “to the glory of God”? What does that look like? What doesn’t it look like?

I think this art needs to express love and peace. The influence this artwork has brought to future generations truly expresses Jesus' care for all people. An artwork created by an artist from his own beliefs.

For this question, when I first considered my identity and the image bearer of God’s creativity, what I thought was that I used an ipad to draw it.

In the picture I divided the square into four parts, work, study, rest, and play. Each is a different color. I think this will be a very cool thing. Maybe people’s life is just like this. In these four squares, I think it’s impossible to lose one. What is life? Know how to survive, stay strong. People are busy running around every day, just for a bite to eat, not for not worrying about life. Working hard is to give yourself a better chance to learn and let yourself have the capital to play. Unless your work can continue to provide you with energy, you must have a playful life. We will find that play is our necessity. Every day we will play, play games, watch movies, and go shopping with friends. Rest, when we are tired from work and study, rest is necessary. These four parts are equal, and I believe that God also approves them.

It's really cool, the answer I received at the end of the test was that I was The "Visionary". After seeing the explanation, I am more sure that this fits me too well. It says that you live in a world of infinite possibilities, and you have a strong interest in the world around you and a desire to contribute to society. Charismatic and expressive, you like to share your ideas, conceive with others and create a community around shared values. I like to get in touch with new things very much. After I was in high school, my personality was not very outgoing when I was young. I always liked being alone. After I entered high school, I became cheerful. It was because of a friend of mine. She was especially able to socialize with others and was very talkative. I wanted to be like her so we became friends. I have learned a lot from her, and let me know that sometimes we should not close ourselves because of the fear in my heart and not communicate with others. The process of communicating with others is also the time for us to improve ourselves.

Week11

Emerge is really an interesting book. There are too many truths in life. It says that people’s time and productivity are limited, and my mother often tells me that, so that she is still the same now. I understand that I will live to grow old and learn to grow old. Just like me now, I find that I still need to learn a lot before I can make myself richer and more meaningful. This is really important. Sometimes we will suddenly stimulate our new ideas because of the messy surrounding things. Just like some people need to be very quiet when creating, some like to create at night, and there are also "villages". I believe that behind a successful person, there must be some people who have always supported him. Just like my mother, she has always supported me. I never tell others about my difficulties. I always feel that I will get better after a while. I remember one time when I went to class at night. Feeling that I can't hold on any longer, I was sitting at the door of my mother's room and crying. I wanted to open her door and tell her that I wanted to give up. But I have been hesitating, I feel that I am very cowardly. But in the end I pushed open the door. She asked me to sit on the bed with her, and she hugged me. I suddenly felt that we hadn't embraced for a long time, and I cried in her arms like a child. My mother did not comfort me, but told me a lot of truth. Thank you very much for giving me a warm place when I am in trouble. There are my friends, when I am sad, when I need encouragement, when I sigh for life, when I need them.

How should art be used in church? What should that look like? What shouldn’t it look like?In what ways does God “renew” our minds?

I think the church should use art according to its historical elements, which can be reflected by some paintings and sculptures.

How God refreshes our minds. I think everyday things in our lives are renewing our minds. These things are supposed to happen. He makes us think. And The Times, the society, are always progressive.

Week10

After I read these articles, I found that I have gained a lot. Starting from the first "idea" every day when I see different things, I will have a variety of different reactions in my mind. When people and their thoughts collide, new topics, new ideas and new things will come up. Because every day is a new day. Every day we wake up from sleep is a different day. For learning, when we think about a problem, when we ask a question about this thing, we have already produced new ideas, which proves that we are thinking. And practice is not perfect, only practice makes perfect. I like this sentence so much. At the beginning, I didn’t understand society at all. My mother always said to me, "You can protect you at home." When you enter the society, you will know that you are inferior now. You are not the perfect one. Someone will work harder. Just like when the epidemic first started, because I had to stay up late for class, although I thought it was okay at the beginning, but later, I felt that staying up late for class was really exhausting. I need to sleep during the day. When I wake up, I will find that I didn’t open my eyes during the day, but at night. Sometimes I cried secretly in class and felt that I couldn’t keep going. But I’m very thankful that I can stick to it now, because many international students are there. Staying up late for class, everyone is insisting on me. Why not stick to it? I may not be perfect, but persistence will definitely result. The book also talks about habit. I think habit is a very important thing, a good one. Habits can affect the formation of a child’s character. Whether in life or in learning, we should consciously cultivate our own habits and learn good habits. I remember a sentence "The most important thing in life is to be polite, it More important than the highest wisdom, more important than all knowledge. "Politeness is a manifestation of a person’s self-cultivation. It can reflect the level of a person’s quality. Therefore, it is very important to focus on cultivating polite habits. For example, teach children to use polite terms in their lives. "Please, hello, Thank you, I’m sorry.” Over time, we learn and use flexibly is the beginning of good habits. In addition, we are also a good habit of getting along with others, because as we grow up, we need to meet all kinds of people. How to get along with others in harmony.

How is the art you make different than the art you like to look at or engage with as a viewer?

Has reading the Bible ever provided you guidance about looking at, thinking about, or making art?

Our own artwork is derived from our own innermost thoughts, which is very different from visiting other artworks, because everyone's ideas are different, and each individual's life and experience cannot be copied. of. This is the trace I have accumulated and experienced in my life, and I show it in a way. It is my own personal thoughts and feelings.

The Bible gave me different ideas. I learned many good principles in the Bible and taught me a lot. Sometimes, some things don't have to be hidden in your heart, and it's better to say what you think in your heart.
