  I am a big fan of basketball game on computer and I also like to play basketball with my friends in reality. So in picture 1and2 I just combine the real basketball court with my computer, I think this couldn't be better to represent my identity. In addition, there is a defect that I cannnot choose OSU basketball team in the famous basketball games. So I put a OSU basketball logo in each picture to make it look like a game, you can also see loading bar, the scores and a pause button in the pictures.

  I hope the viewers would be interested in my idea and intend to play the game if it is a real game. But if you engage in deep thought, you may find the world we live is also a big game and we may be controled to walk, to ear and to study by somebody, like the god by a little controller. Because the universe is too big and humans are too small and we still have lots of unknown today. That is the significance of image3. The white controller stands for the administrator of the earth.

  The author talks about life and art in this article. I agree with his opinion of the relationship between art and life very much that we cannot break art away from life. This makes me recall a story when I was in high school. We were asked to write a 600 words essay in the last part of every chinese writing exam and it was wroth 60/150 points. In china, exam scores are even more important to students and their families than their lives. So we did our best to avoid losing every point. And how to get a high grade in that essay in a big part of our lessons. Basically there are two opinions, one is to use huge numbers of rhetoric in each sentence to make the essay full of flowery ornate terms and another one is to write a true story simply but we will put more of our emotion in the essay than the first method. I prefer the latter one, I do not like to decorate a essay much on rhetoric and what I want is to let the audience feel what I feel and get touched by my story. I think that is art. But the ones who use the former method would get a high grade, I think that is exactly the disadvantage of chinese education. Anyway, this article just let me recall the experience again, I like it.

The Bible: I put it on my night table and read it everyday. If my house catch on fire I will grab it the first time because it is small, light and it stands for Jesus Christ and God.
The glasses: I have a high myopia so I cannot live without my glasses. Everything becomes fuzzy when I pick them off and maybe I cannot find the exit of my home. They just make the world clear to me.
My cell phone: I am not living alone. I have friends and families. So cell phone as the connection between us is important to me and I need to keep it alive or they will worry about my safety.
The portable hard drive: Another world we live in nowadays is composed by computer and internet. And virtual data is as important as my life in a way. I have 10gb pictures, 10gb movies and 110gb songs in the hard drive. It is hard to collect all of them, which takes a very lone time. So I must take my another"life" with me.
My wallet: All of my bank cards and identity cards are in my wallet, it is most valuable and significant to catch. 

When I finished the image and the explaination above, I stop moving forward and go back to view my work and think it over again. I find that the objects I choose are common and ordinary, everyone have them and they are important to everyone, which means I am not a unconventional person and I am very practical. Then two of the five items are electronics, it shows that I rely on internet and computer life very much. Then I catch a book, a religionary book, though I am young and I am interested in many different things, I have my faith. I think these items show my identity well.
Maybe they do not show my interest detailed and classified. And I have many things memoriable and meaningful but I cannot take them with me because of their weight and volume, so the viewers cannot know more about me.

  Every coin has two sides. We cannot live without electricity in everyday lives, it is the source to generate all the power we need. But it is also dangerous if people touch it directly, which will let people die. The article "The feet in smoke" written by John Jeremiah Sullivan tells us a story about the author's brother gets an electric shock and revive from death. From this article, I realize that people should be careful when they use electronic devices. And I am moved when his brother wakes up after hearing the author's whisper, a miracle happens due to the power of love between the brothers. And I like the way the author records the recovery of his brother day by day, which makes the experience more truly.

  I usually walk to class every morning. Path is shown above in the picture. The idea of my product is I just put the google map on the bottom layer and choose 5 five unique pictures that I pay attention to on the way to class and put each picture beside their corresponding point on the map and give each one a explanation. I love the smell of the lawn of the academic breath sel brings to me. And I love the sunshine every morning, it makes everything fresh and lovely. At the first day of class, I was confused of the position of the entrance of the stadium, because osu map just tell you where the stadium is but it will not tell you the entrance of the building. I just walk along the stadium for about half circle and then see one get out of the stadium. This is the first time I take class in osu stadium,it is a good experience.

complement: I just put the google map on the bottom layer shows the path from my home to the class. Then 　Ｉ　ｃｈｏｏｓｅ　ｆｉｖｅ　ｍｅａｎｉｎｇｆｕｌ　ｐｉｃｔｕｒｅｓ　ｔｏ　ｍｅ　ｅｖｅｒｙ　ｍｏｒｎｉｎｇ．And　Ｉ put each picture beside their corresponding point. The number shows the sequence of the pictures.　Ｆｏｒ　ｔｈｅ　ｔｏｏｌｓ，Ｉ　ｃｈｏｏｓｅ　ｄｉｆｆｅｒｅｎｔ　ｓｔｙｌｅｓ　ｆｏｒ　ｅｖｅｒｙ　ｐｉｃｔｕｒｅ　ｆｒｏｍ　　ｆｉｌｔｅｒ－ａｒｔｉｓｔｉｃ－ｃｕｔｏｕｔ　ｔｏ　ｍａｋｅ　ｔｈｅｍ　ｍａｇｉｃ． I have descriptions beside each picture that explain my feelings passing each scenery every morning.

Wexner review

  I went to Wexner center this Sunday with my friends. When I first came to OSU as a freshman, I was interested in the shape of the building. It brings me a feeling of art. But I do not know it is like a art museum until I visit it this Sunday. And there seem to be a show for an artist called David Smith that day, almost all the artworks are made by David in the center. Unfortunately I cannot understand the artworks, maybe that is why I cannot become an artist? I think the artworks are too modern and too abstract for me, I cannot tell what are they and what are the main ideas they want to express. Maybe there are not correct ways to understand them, everyone will get his answer from the products. Like the words said"There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes". There are notes besides every artwork to show the name of it, the father of it and the meaning of it( not exactly). One of the artworks impressed me is called box, it is a room with no light but just a screen playing movie. I like the feeling sitting in the room and watch a movie, it brings me inner peace. Though I do not gains much from the visiting, I think it is a good experience which makes me think much.

 The same of the two experience: When I see beautiful and memoriable scenes, I take pictures to record them.So the things in the two group of ten pictures are all lovely in my view.

 The difference of two experience: When taking the first ten pictures, I have no idea about how to posit the scene in my camera, I just try to include all the things I like into the picture. It is a very simple way. But in taking the second ten pictures, I have got some knowledge from class, and I try to take pictures in different ways.

 I like the second experience because it makes my pcitures more formal and looks better. When you follow some rules, you will always make things better. 

 I like the ant view picture most. Because in the process I photograph it, I see the world in a new angle which I never did. In that moment, I feel like I am an ant and I can realize the life of an ant. It is a good experience!

  It is a excited experience to read the article called"Nipple Jesus" written by Nick Hornby. When I begin to read it, it is bored at first, but after someone who tears the picture and make it up by breast of women from old magazines, I find it is an interesting story. I like one of the opinions of the artist of that painting, a painting that makes people angry, in another word, a painting that someone dislike is a good painting. And I like the trope the author use to describe the sex and Christinity by "Censored  Artwork". To sum up, it is a good story, I like it and I learn many new written skills and reading logic from it.
  For something I dislike, I am a Christian and I feel uncomfortable about the event happens in the story though it is just a fictive one.

  Big ideas are important in lives. When we do art works we should consider something different from others to make audience surprised by our products, and the "something different" means the big idea of your own. In this article, I like the way the author talks about big idea. He compares it to theme and subject matter, two closed concepts to big idea, and make the meaning of big idea more clearly.
  I enjoy reading use of big idea in the last part of the article, but that makes me interest in how to generate a good big idea? How do we know if our big ideas are good enough to use?

  I am in art 367 this quarter, and we just discussed visual art last class, about connotations and denotations. And this article helps me understand there two concepts deeper. I think artist should make an interpretation following their products to explain the connotations he wants to deliver to the audience by the denotations. And I will make good explaination after my products.
 This article is pretty straight forward, I have no questions on it.
