Weekly overview
I spent Friday and Saturday of the previous week visiting France, visiting the Pompidou Centre and some museums. I was a little behind on my project this week as I didn’t attend Monday’s session due to a bad stomach on Sunday. During this Thursday’s session I actively sought advice from other students in the class to understand everyone’s project ideas and progress.
Artworks in the Pompidou Centre
Architecture exhibition called “”An Italian lesson: architecture 1950-1980”.
During the exhibition, I visited and appreciated the architectural drawings and models of many masters, which gave me a deeper understanding of the techniques of drawing expression and modeling.
A small model of stage design
After I saw the watercolor three-dimensional manuscript of the stage design, it gave me great inspiration and shock. Foreground, middle ground, perspective, from plane to three-dimensional expression, very interesting.
Palais Garnier
Models
I was shocked by the complicated structure and exquisite workmanship of the Paris Opera House model I saw in the exhibition hall. After seeing this model, I have confidence in my physical model. Careful and persistent, no matter how difficult the model is, it can be made.
Some naming ideas
For this Thursday workshop, I need to give my project a good name to go by.
The best name I could come up with was FOODIE, which means foodies. I wanted my project to bring ‘foodies’ in the community together and for many people who cannot cook to learn some cooking skills and become ‘foodies’. I didn’t come up with many interesting and innovative names in class other than this one. But I discussed the name of my project with other students in class, and I received a variety of responses from students from different countries with different cultural backgrounds. I searched for more root words in English in class to come up with a vibrant name for my project theme.
