Brainstorm possible ideas: My Chicago Trip


This idea is coming from my Chicago trip. I went to Chicago on Thanksgiving Day above five days. I visited five famous places, such as, the field museum, the art institute, Shedd aquarium, Skydeck Chicago and John Hancock Observatory.

At the beginning of the video, I want to show the panoramagram of the Chicago. And then introduce each place. Shedd Aquarium:  including 32,000 animals from aquatic habitats around the world. Sharks cruise overhead and stingrays swim below my feet. Skydeck Chicago: is complete experiencing the ledge- glass floor balconiews 103 floors over chichago. The 360-degree views of up to fours states from the top of the world-renowned Willis tower. The field museum: with 4.6 billion years under one roof, the field museum is our passport to travel the world and back in time. Come face to face with SUE, the T.rex. Descend into an ancient Egyptian tomb or shrink to the size of a bug in Underground Adventure.

This is a good trip in the Chicago. It is a great memory and experience in Chicago. I want to share my experience with others. That why I want to do this in my finial project.

Failure Paper


The biggest failure in this semester is I was using “GarageBand” to make a new song. I tried to add different style in the new song, again and again. But I failed, because I just add a new song, I didn’t make different style. After that I realized I was wrong, because my task is cutting a section and then make a style. Totally, I did eight times, and then I made a final project about “GarageBand” song. From this failure project, I learned that when I should do anything I must know what I need to do, I have to listen clearly and carefully. Don't just listen a half and then make it, it is not enough. I think I failed this due to my conceptual issue. Before I think I just need to put different song together and make style. But I know I was wrong.

The most successful project in this semester is Assignment 2, Identity/Mapping. I think this is my successful project due to I took lots of pictures and combined with map, when I did this project I used Photoshop which is the most perfect design tool in the art. The project 2 is talking about my journey to campus in the morning, how did I find the building and the classroom. Before I did this project I never think about what building it will be showing on the way and what building I can see when I was driving to school. I took lots of picture following the way, which is my route from my home to school. And then I was using Photoshop to make these together and make project more unique. I think my idea about this project is good, because I used some Luma Cycle and used the skill that teacher teaching us in the class. I learned from this successful project that use teacher’s teaching, add my own idea and make project more unique more clearly then it will be becoming a good project.

If let me redo one project, I will choose project 1, because I submitted the same picture with the first blog. So I need to change a picture.

Response to Carver Cathedral

I really enjoyed reading this article that it is talking about his experience with his wife's blind friend that he learns people should learn the world with their heart instead of judging the world simply by their eyes. At the beginning of the story when they meet each other, he doesn't know how to communicate with a blind man since he never had a friend liked this blind man. we can easily to know the author doesn't like this blind man, because he doesn't describe anything about this blind. For example, what is he looking like? how about his character? but finally, he tries to talk with blind man, and he found that the blind man has clear eyes in his heart.
In this article, I don't like this husband, because he is rude to the blind man. I thing people should teat each other politely even though this is a blind man. I think no differences between disabilities people and healthy people.

Project 5


My idea about this video comes from I played basketball with my friend every weekend. My project word is “Grasp”, so I think about what is grasp? What things we usually use our hand to grasp. When I played basketball this weekend, I found player uses their hand to grasp the ball. Then, keeping the ball gets into the basket. Generally, this source idea is coming from the ball. Moreover, I found that the balls, which people played, would use their hands to grasp and play. So I walked around in the rpac, I count the ball’s category, it divide into … Ping-Pong, basketball, squash, badminton and pools. Before I already made a video, it related with grasp basketball, grasp pools and grasp squash. But I don't know why my iMovie doesn't work. So I download some pictures, which are basketball, squash and pools. And then I use Photoshop to make it together. Finally, the most important thing is I download hands, which is ghost hands. Putting all of these together and using ghost hand to grasp the each ball. It will be more funny I think.
