Final Project：London trip~

For this project, I went to London to visit the exhibition again. This time I was very excited, because this time the exhibition has the content that I am very interested.

Free time is in the morning, I first visited the famous Tate Modern Museum, saw the place aiweiwei works site and I saw the works of many contemporary artists, such as Picasso, Dali and so on. Then I walked in the streets of London to feel the scenery of Thames River. Along the Thames River, we went to the famous Tower Bridge of London. In the afternoon, we gathered at the design museum to see the design work I have been longing for. The design museum in a modern building, located in the river thames. 

When I entered the exhibition, I immediately began to look for which is a game design，named Monument Valley. Its designer is a Hongkong people, I am a big fan of this game. The effect of picture and sound are fantastic！I even voted for it, and I hope it will get good results in this exhibition.

Big Eyes

Last week we watched a great movie, named' Big Eyes'. it is based on a real story about a woman who has the strength but the personality is to strive for personal rights and freedom.From the very beginning, the protagonist Margaret in the control of the man, she took her daughter and a pile of paintings drove to flee. May in the sixties of the last century, a woman to do so requires courage. It also shows that she was not a good communication. She was married again with a liar. The man took a fancy to her painting talent, and he took it as his own.The heroine often draws big eyes of the doll, so it becomes a sign of her. But her husband took up her position. They had a lot of money, and the heroine was only at home every day to paint, even her daughter did not know. It was until ten years later that the heroine had come to her senses, and she took her daughter to escape again, and accused her of her husband's crimes. The final outcome is good.

 

Although I have been very angry with her husband in the process of watching the movie. But there is no denying that her work is likely to be neglected without her husband's sales, and she may not be so famous. In my opinion, people can not easily compromise in particular about their rights，Especially as an artist~

Ted Talk：Building the Seed Cathedral

British designer Heatherwick Thomas has always been known for its odd ideas. For design of Shanghai World Expo UK Pavilion he aches in full 60000 root hollow, and each part had different kinds of seeds. Such design, the British Museum has become a spectacular 'seed cathedral'.

How do you think the connection           between aesthetic design and eco-friendly implications can change architecture and the world?

Absolutely, it can beautify the environment around us and more to ensure our future. Creating an eco-friendly home can start small, with just a few easy steps. When thousands of people do some actions, you may be surprised to learn that saving the planet can also save our life!

What kinds of things can you do in your own life that can help cities become more eco-friendly and more sustainable？

Green, sustainable, energy-efficient...there are so many ways to say “eco-friendly” that it can feel overwhelming to consider making some environmentally friendly changes. I will choose the most simple way to support this thing - walking. This not only can make my health and the health of our planet！It is very important~

Maker

Last Thursday, we saw a movie called maker. This film tells the story of a group of people who have a passion for technology and love to practice. They believe that their hands can create evrything. These makers are good at digging new technologies, encouraging innovation and prototyping. They are more than just thinking and they have their own work. One of the maker in the film impressed me very much. It was a 12 years old girl named Todd Sylvia. 

“I want more people to become less focused on success, and more on just trying new things outside their comfort zone.”

Sylvia's interest in mini-science projects was sparked by Maker Faire in San Mateo Sylvia's, Calif. When she was only 5. So two years ago her father film some of her experiments for Youtube. 

I think she is a very cute girl, very smart, she knows exactly what she want to do, what she can do? She always use both hands to meet their curiosity！It's amazing！

For a maker, no matter where you are, as long as you are willing to make use of existing resources, you can become a real maker！
