I walk form my drom to my art education 2520 class every week. I used to focus on the buildings when using the campes map to guide me. However, when it turns to my own maps in my mind, I tend to focus on some specific scenes, such as street view or chairs and funnels added in my own image. I love the chair picture best because for me it is the same as other land scape in campus. Every time I see it, I would realize that I am really close to Ohio Stadium. I think things like chairs are my own land scape in my map, which might never be noticed by other people. And those things do compose my own map from my dorm to my art education 2520 class.

Response to Yoko One: Yoko One is a Japanese woman. Like most of the people, Yoko One has two sides there are positive side and negative side. I found it pretty useful to remember that every one has two sides in our daily life. For example, sometimes one may make some mistakes, but it does not mean one is a bad person. That person might just feel pretty uncomfortable today and he or she might not be intended.

I found it difficult to figure out author's attitude to Yoko One. It is really difficult to find out that if we should love or not love a person like this. I can feel author's respect to Yoko One, but author's attitude to Yoko One still seems neutral.

     The most different experience for me between taking the first ten and then the second ten might be my attitude to those pictures. I took the first ten pictures because I think they are actually really fun or I just feel like taking them as a picture. But when it turns to the second ten pictures, I start to focus on the construction of the picture like symmetrical or asymmetrical.Actually, both two sets of pictures cheer me up because I find something I did not notice in the previous daily life. 

     Take my fist picture, which is one of my favorite pictures, as an example.I was considering take this picture into a symmetrical one at first, however, it is really hard for me to make it a symmetrical one since its in the corner. Finally I made it into a asymmetrical one and those words in the picture are really good for me. The image from point view of ants and the unstable picture are also my favorites. I covered a leaf on  the camera and put the camera on the ground to make it like the point view of ants. And it is really interesting and I really enjoy taking this picture even though it was cold outside! I also spent a lot of time creating unstable things and that is also really fun. 

      The experience of taking all those pictures are actually so enjoyable for me in a net shell.

Response to The Walker: this article talks about the relationships between big ideas and art making. Big ideas are not that concise to be used for art making. One should make big ideas more concise so that they could be made for art making. This engages me a lot.

My question to this article is the difference between theme and big idea. Although author does discusses this in the article, I still think the difference between theme and big idea is quite small. Sometimes theme could be big idea while sometimes big idea could be theme. I don't think we can clearly distinguish those two that easy as in the article.  

Response to Barrett: This article talks about the relationships between interpretion and connotation. Which interpretion related to something inside and connoation talks about something outside.  I feel it really useful to be careful with the message carried by visual culture. As is known to all, there are lots of difference between eastern culture and western culture. It might cause some inconvinence if one do not pay attention to those details.

My question to this article is that why author uses an single paragraph to talk about linguistic message. I think author could put it into connoted message and denoted message. It might be more easiler for some readers, like me, to read and understand the theme of the article.

Response to the Kidd, Hickey and Weschler “Uncanny Valley” articles

Response to Kidd: The author talks about the question of "true or false" by listing the example of "enemy". The author talks about Left or Right later in the article. I am actually not sure what author is talking about by only reading the single chapter, but I feel like two men in the article are talking about their attitudes. Each specific attitude makes a specific life.
Response to Hickey: the author talks about the exciting and fair basketball starting with a game between Lakers and Seventy-Sixers in 1980. He then talks about how amazing and exciting this game could be and tells us the history of basketball. He finalizes the article with five guiding principle of basketball made by James Naismith in 1891. I really enjoy author portraying the basketball game at the beginning of the article. I was attracted to the article first time I read that.

I feel like that the ending of this article is really difficult. The author uses five guiding principles to end the article. Actually I am not sure with what he suppose to sending to readers by these five principles. I perfer the author point out his attitude at the end of the article so that I won't misunderstand his message.

Response to Wsechler "Uncanny": The author introduces to us how complex smile could be by listing the difficulty of making a digital human face. Later the author further talks about the reaction of eyebrows, ears and nose when emotions are expressed by face. In the end of the article, the author asks if a absolutely human character is possible to make and send his confidence about this to the readers.

This article express his attitude clearly and I don't think I feel something difficult with it.

Hi my name's Hongyi Shu.
I am now in finance major and I am a sophomore student here.Although I am not in the art major, I am actually really interested in arts.I take this class because some friends of mine told me that this class is actually really fun.

I'd like to play video games and work out in RPAC after class. My favorite place to eat is Ohio Union because I live near school and I did not find any better place to eat yet. My favorite brand is A.P.C. but I can hardly found a place to buy in Columbus. My favorite food is salad in the Union market, addicted to corns there.My favorite animal is probably dog and I used to keep one. My favorite drink is green tea.

Glad to have ARTE 2520 lessons this semester!
