Today, I watched the final show of Graduate Diploma Art and Design course.
In exhibition, I was impressed by 'On Reflections and Revelations' which is installation by Ariadne Sevgi Avkiran.
There were six sculptures and one mirror. The shape of sculpture is like human face, but not definitely. The main concept of this work is emotion. Avkiran was inspired by relationship with her friends. She said when she communicated with others, the many emotion flow and she can named these emotions with the word.
The main material of these works are glass and plaster. Avkiran said that she used these material because of her emotion. Plaster is easy to flew, but solid soon. It is easy to express her feeling directly. Moreover, glass is difficult to control. She cannot expect correctly until she complete the final work.
There is a sculpture I was interested most. This work made from plaster and put some plant put in the mouth. Plant looks like appearing from mouth, but mouth looks like choking on these plants. I consider that this plants mean her word what she wants to say her friend, but she chokes on that.
In addition, I think that a mirror on the wall is interesting. She said that it means make audience look their mind. For me, it was interesting that I could see her face sculpture and my own face together. I could see the situation of me surrounded by many face sculpture.

Grayson Perry
I went to the Margate Museum.
There is an exhibition about Grayson Perry.
Before I went there, I wondered why he use ceramic because his work looks like just draw picture on the ceramic pot, and the shape of pot is normal.
However, I was surprised at his works when I looked them with my eyes.
I realised he has great talent at choose material. He understood well what emotion comes from texture. For example, carpet remind us the old carpet with myth or something old stories and etching remind traditional etching for describe important things. Moreover, the some of 3D texture on the pot likes iron, or there are gold texture with feeling some special. Furthermore, there is a work shaped skeleton. The teeth of this has deep cleavage so this likes really old teeth and this skeleton becomes grave. I think he use all material what he wants.
A key aspect of Perry's work is cheep. For example, he made the work that made from cloth and draw the humans life from born from women and go to the hell like Hieronymus Bosch.
There are a lot of names of famous brand in the world near all characters. There is no connection and no reason between what character and what brand. He just put names. It show these names light as the name of human. We remember brand name as it has huge power in this society, but he ignore the meaning of brand's name deliberately. Some girl named Nokia and Some boy named Chanel, but the importance of the name is deal with the same in his picture.
This feature is same on another picture. He draw the map of his body and there are lots of name of appetite or emotion. For instance, there are words like love, money, sleepy, envy, and angry. However, there is a no connection between each emotion! Usually, people deal with those emotion as it is really important. Some of artists connects contradiction emotion like love with hate, envy, but Perry drew the names just it is a name.
In addition, on his ceramic work, he drew very personal opinions like 'I hate the man who doing soccer'. He deals his personal emotion with the traditional technique. There is a gap what I look at moment and when I look carefully and read words. I think it is really interesting attempt, and it is new way of thinking what is the important of the world.
Moreover, I am impressed at the film work. I like this because it is really hand-made. The act of actor is amateur and the technique of edit is not high. In this film, there is a chicken and rose petals come down suddenly, but the movement of flower is really human-hand. Audience can understand someone sprinkle petals from outside of screen. However, I like this tendency. Nowadays, film is made extremely high quality but Perry tried to make film with his hands as his other artworks.

Building the Seed Cathedral
I watched the presentation of Thomas Heatherwick in TED Talk.
He creates a lot of interesting architecture. For example, he constructed Seed Cathedral in 2010. The concept of this monument is biodiversity. He always thinks the combination of nature and architecture. His work has variation, like temple, cafe, bridge, and so on.
Architecture is fundamental instrument in our life. Therefore, designing architects mean design human lifestyle.

I think that I can contribute to keep cities eco-friendly. Keeping roads and public space clean is important role for citizen. Personally, I can grow plants in the garden, or make birds house.
Nowadays, birds, fish, and all animals are affected by human. I think we have to coexist with them and architect is necessary to make the world sustainable.

Maker Movement
There is a third industrial revolution. It is mean people can work together regardless the place. The development of technology and the cloud service enabled this situation.
One of the artist said that some people asked 'what's art for?' but he think these kind of question is meaningless and the process is most important. He also said that the material that he uses is garbage if it is just put, but for him, it is treasure.
I was impressed by the girl named Sylvia. She has strong interest for technology and science and creative many things.

Project3-Introspection
I finished presentation of project3 on 8th August.
My group, J&C did performing art. The title of our performance is 'Introspection'.
The message of this work is 'self-acceptance'. I wrote this meaning more detail on proposal.
We want to let audience think themselves through our performance. From project3, I learned that all of us have different background, but we can find common with talking and respecting each other. I reflected my experience on my proposal part. We don't need to be afraid to be different.
In presentation, I was a pitch coordinator. I look carefully about our proposal, and reconstruct this for presentation. I tried to make all research easy to understand, and distributed time for to be satisfied for ten minutes.
However, artists commented for our presentation on Friday. They said they expected to see our process and performance more, and not need too much information of research. We considered our presentation again and make this simple to just forces on performance.
Actually, group work is really hard for me because I'm not good at tell my idea organized and combine others idea to make result better. Sometime I forget to think about work and just listen others. It is difficult for me to understand others idea at moment. Fortunately, my group members listened carefully me and atmosphere was always good. I know it is difficult for everyone to do group work about art because all people have strong opinion about what they study a lot.
I think my speaking has improved during this period even if I make a lot of mistakes. I learned that the most important thing is that I think a lot and keep motivation to tell my opinion.
I appreciate to all my group members to try to understand each other and make our work better.
