I
think it would be a great idea to be involved in some image-making activities
in class, esp. sculpture making, which I have never tried before.
My images:
(1) an image of Japan that appeals to me
This is an image of Sakura branches sticking above a river, with a row of wooden houses built along the river. The two men walking along the road seem to be wearing traditional Japanese clothes and all these form a harmonious picture of a traditional Japan that I like.
(2) an image of an art work or some other cultural product that appeals to me
This is an image of the world-renowned woodblock print Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. I saw this work of art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was attracted by it immediately. It depicts huge waves off the coast and the boats seem to be struggling not to be destroyed by the waves. Mount Fuji is not far away. I like the colors white and blue used in the print.
(3) an image that I took (a photo) or made myself (for example, a drawing) that I can share with the others in the class.
This is an image of a canvas painting that I drew last semester at a painting activity. I needed something to decorate my dorm, so took part in the activity and drew it. It depicts several orange flowers, that is because I like flowers and I like the color orange. Thus this painting.
