Miss M:
When I went through my last work this : http://bccsc-drawing.blogspot.com/2009/03/little-story-from-what-i-see.html I do not pretty sure about your comment, is it u don't know who I am or something else? Well, I study in your elective class and I am in class 2 grade 11.
My name is Honey(Wang Yu Chen).
Anyway, now comes to my work for this week. I go back to the BLU again and in my opinion, compares to the royal art lodge, the Blu presents a more bloody and execited picture to us. His work really shocked me when the drawings appear in my scream abruptly.
It remained me about my last week's history class taking about ancient Greece. Bulls symbolized holy and inviolable. Besides, many bull-head and human-body patterns were found by the modern scientists and archaeologists in the anicent Greek palace' walls.
But obviously, this bull does not a good boy. He hurt animals and human beings and pretended under a holy veil as if he is doing something great. Although, I do not excatly following the right purpose of the artist, I think this strange man in the drawing is extremely hypocritical and bad.
In life, most of us may associate with sham guys--they prentend themselves as gorgeous friends and be very frankly, however, they just living in their lying camp and conceal their real faces.
Despite I think any kinds of art should not associate with a "deep ethic", since I am almost totally poisoned by the Chinese education system that everytime we read an article, we shoud use our "deep thinking" to illuminate, for example, if the author mentioned about a tree which is really strong and can withstand tornado, it means that the author wants to say the fledging party will finally win the war. I always think that is ridiculous but I have to obey that role, otherwise I will run the risk of failing my tests. However this time I get something to say from my sincerely will. From this drawings, I really feel empathetic that we should not judge others by their outward-appearence, we must rely on their inner qualities after get to know each others better.
Confucius, the greatest philosopher and educator of ancient China, commented,"fine words and insinuating are seldom associated with the true virtue." From uncountable real people from the history, fictions and movies, personal experiences and furthermore, this drawing, provide the perfect lesson we should bear in mind that appearences are highly unreliable.
honey, "where have you been all my life?" is an english expression for when we really like someone. I know who you are, i just didnt know how well you were able to articulate your thoughts about art and images. good job.
ReplyDeleteI have been curious about the "moralistic" aspects of chinese education, everytime I ask my students to write an essay or give their personal opinion there is always a moral that they give me. For me this is very strange and not at all what i think about when i consider 'the deeper meaning' of artwork. I do not think artwork should be used to educate, I think it should be used to ask questions and to turn conventional thinking on its head. This is obviously NOT the same as not-thinking, I get very angry at the idea that artists are stupid and unable to use logic, symbolism, and their intellect when creating work. In the west, artists are often ridiculed as being stupid- for just drawing a pretty picture or put on a pedestal as the being "talented" . Artists to me are not talented, they are workers, they are intellectuals who use any means possible to get expose their ideas to the world.
