10/3 2D Project Collaboration

The unicorn is Katherine's and my starting point.  We all like this unicorn and want to cut it out. Our plan is to make a collaborative collage project.

This is my image:



The unicorn reminds me, my favorite animation character when I was little. 



Final Work 

10/2 seven thoughtful comments and take away

Seven comments:

1.         Zhenzhen 8/3 lesson plan hot to become a thing

     This work demonstrates intense creativity of teaching, I I appreciate with this lesson plan because I believe that art is not only about painting and drawing, but also is more about how to express yourself as an artist. Art technique it is a skill, the important part in the artwork is how to demonstrate your ideas.

2.           Steph’s 3/3 On/Off experiment art project

    I really like your work, because, for my on/off project, I felt that I have nothing to do without my phone and computer, but your works are unique, because you provide a new way to express the feeling of on/off experiment, not just sharing your thought, these likes not only show people's life style nowadays, but also express that people are spent much more time on their digital devices.

3.          Seung’s 8/1 Stop Motion Animation work 

I love your stop motion work Seung ! it is very interesting work because you use a different way to show your works. The reverse way to show a plant-growing period it is very creative. Also, you work very simple, it is very minimalism, I like it, and I believe less is more in artworks, it is very strong to show your ideas.

4.            Regina’s 8/1 Stop Motion

I love this stop motion because it is not only about stop motion work, but also it will be very helpful for kids, they can know that how to mix colors, I think this is a very interesting way for teaching students about colors and stop motion; it is very creative combination.

5.             Katherine’s 4/1 Part 2: Pursued Photography Idea

These works look like a story. I feel like it is about the different weather and combine with photography is a good idea, makes it looks like something different. I think you can base on this concept to build up more; it will be great to put all those works together.

6.            Sophia’s 7/1 Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen

I really like your sound work, when I listen to your work, I feel like I am a food in a monster’s mouth and this monster is chewing me, I know its sounds like very weird feeling, but I really enjoy it, and I feel like sound a re very interesting, it give you lots of different and unique experiences.

7.             Avery’s 6/1 Video Project

I love this video work a lot! It is very amusing and artistic. I feel like the original work, and your work is using an irony way to judge some woman. They are to desire to be loved but show too many-wired behaviors. I think if you can ask more people to do this together it will be very interesting.

Take-Away:

Looking at other's coursework it is very helpful to me, because I can build up more ideas and rethink about the previous coursework, also based on other's coursework, I can learn a lot, I can know that some of my understanding are too simple, but others think about more deeply, it can help me  to be more professional. 

10/1 My Dice CREATIVE CODE—JUSTICE—PERFORMANCE

9/2 programming (Scratch) experience and 2 connections to the art classroom.

This is my first time designed a programming work; I spent 2 hours to finished this work. It was hard for me because I've never done it before. I downloaded the Swift playground to my iPad to practice more about coding. It is very interesting App and easy to play with it. For me, I think coding it is very different with traditional art because it is more like mathematics, you have to make sure every single part it right unless it will be chaos. Also, I feel like the design a coding is like the math formulas, I am not like coding because it reminds my mathematics and I never pass any math class when I was little. When I am working on my coding work, I felt very frustrated, because I have to think a lot and make a pre-plan before I start it. Also, I have to make sure everything is followed my coding design. It is very different with making art, when paint or draw something, it always by spontaneously. Overall, I like this experiences, because I got new skills and after I had finished it, I felt I can do it and it not that terrible as I thought about it before.

For art classroom, I think it is very important for students to know, especially for kids, because “An understanding of computer science is becoming increasingly essential in today’s world. Our national competitiveness depends on upon our ability to educate our children—and that includes our girls—in this critical field.”By Sheryl Sandberg and she is the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook. I very agree with that; the coding class can help students to build up more knowledge. Also, I found a very interesting website for kids to learn about coding. https://studio.code.org/s/frozen/stage/1/puzzle/2 
This website teach students to know what is coding and how coding by themselves with Disney Princess, I think this is very good example for my future teaching, especially for girls and kids, because it is very easy to know, and kids will think this is an interesting way to learn a new skill, they won't feel boring in this class. Secondly, I think coding will help kids to explore their potential skills in the future, because everybody is different and we all good at in the different fields, so teach them some new skills will help them to be more professional.

8/4 Two take aways from readings: section III

1. Kylie Peppler (July 2013) has claimed that although creative coding can be used to create a wide array of genres, including animations, digital stories, music, simulations, and interactive art, one of the most well-defined uses of creative code it to create video games. Immensely popular with today;s youth, game design is the relatively recent addition to the field of arts education. I very agree with that, one of my favorite video game is called Minecraft.  Brain Hught (2016) has claimed that Metcraft is the first step in developing the Minecraft gaming platform as a teaching and outreach tool. It is intended to serve as a proof of concept that shows Minecraft can be a useful tool to create fun and creative educational museum experiences. /Metcraft's ultimate goal is to foster a spirit of independent exploration and experimentation in young museumgoers both before and after they visit The Met.Minecraft is a popular multiplayer online gaming platform. It enjoys roughly 27 million players worldwide, 43.7% of whom are between ages of 15 and 21, and 20.5% are under 15 years old. It's a bit like virtual Legos. I like this idea. Also, my favorite part is the open-ended "creative mode," I can create a lot of interesting artworks in this mode. Also, I feel like this could be a new way of teaching new media art in the class, especially for students who don't like painting and drawing, they will explore more interesting ideas in art.

2.A new culture of learning.
In this book, it talks about a lot of different way of learning, the click here to start learning part gave a strong impression because I can know that learning is not only about get a technique skill. In the forums, Tom found support among fellow diabetics. In my opinion, this online chat room can help people to know the knowledge of diabetes, also they can make a lot of friends in this web. I believe this is a new culture of learning, learning is not only in the classroom, but it can also happen in everywhere.

             • Evaluation

·      I don’t want them to feel like it is so hard for doing art, as long as they are working on this and work hard, they all will get A, because I believe it is hard to distinguish what is good art and what is bad art.
