Reading Week 2

  1. Not all of the things I am interested in will appear in my art, but everything in my art must be what I am interested in and like. I am not good at drawing figures, so most of the elements that appear are elements that I often use and like to design in my artworks, such as animals, plants, or daily necessities.
  2. My life has affected my art to a certain extent. First, my older sister likes to watch animation, and my mother loves to play Disney movies on television when I was a kid, which directly affects me. It can be said that my sister inspired me to draw. When I was a child, I was very interested in art. From kindergarten to high school, I continued to paint but did not learn to paint orthodoxly until I went to college. In addition to origami, my favorite thing when I was a kid was designing various greeting cards by myself. I spent my childhood in China, so I especially like some design elements that represent China, such as square patterns and auspicious cloud patterns. Thus, the most influential thing for me is the animation I have liked since childhood, and the painting style I want to learn most is also biased toward animation.
  3. Personally, reading and expression affect my painting. There is no problem with my reading ability. The reason why I can link reading and painting is the illustration. When I was a kid, I read a book with a lot of words, and occasionally an illustration appeared. However, the illustrations still played a great role for me. When I read that book, I felt like playing a movie in my mind. Sometimes my imagination is going another way, but the next illustration would pull me back to the right way. It was amazing and I still can’t forget it. My expression ability is very ordinary. When I cannot express myself clearly, I would like to borrow some simple paintings to express the information I want to convey
