      Architecture plays an important role in movie designing. Different architectures can create different atmosphere. Most of architectures in movie can show the background of the story, skyscraper is the same.     In movie   Metropolis, skyscraper is only for rich and potent people. Workers and poor people should live in the place which is underground. Skyscraper becomes a symbol of power.     In some modern cyberpunk style movie, skyscraper can show viewers how developed the city is.

    There are four main constructions' styles in Chicago, cast-iron construction, ballon-frame constrution, steel-frame construction and reinforced concrete. In downtown, the style what people see most are steel-frame and reinforced concrete.       Chicago  Architecture has its own special charateristic. We went to the Architecture Center this week. We saw a movie about the development of Chicago Architecture there. For me, the rebuliding of the city after Chicago Fire makes Chicago more modern and beautiful. Of course that fire was horrible and destroied everything, but because of that fire, Chicago has a opportunity to rebirth.     Walking on the street, I can feel that there is a morden atmosphere around Chicago. In addiction, there are few buildings in different styles make this city more colorful. They look so harmonious even though they are not in the same style.  

      Many years ago , I went to Guangzhou City for travel. In Guangzhou City, there is a populars building calls Canton Tower. It is the highest tower in China and it is 600 meters high. As a lanmark of Guangzhou City, its has a very amazing appearance which looks like slender waist of women. I was so excited when I first saw Canton Tower.       We had a cruise in West River of Guangdong Province, so that we could appreciate the whole scene of Guangzhou City. When I saw Canton Tower  in the first time,  I just considered that how tall this tower was. There was a light show at the Canton Tower's outside.Because we arrived Canton Tower at night, we took lots photos of it.        Canton tower is not just famous of its appearance, but also because it has so many commerial facilities of the tower inside. We have a wonderful night that time. I will never forget the lighting power when the night comes.    

          Public art is areflection of how we see the world- the artist's response to our time and place combined with our own senses of who we are.      In TED talks, like Otis Kriegel talks, public art can let people remember, reflect and share.  Public art is not a simple art which is for us to appreciate, but a sort of art which needs artists and viewer to finish it together.           There are so many forms about public art, such as mural, graffit and mosaic. Different forms public art will show people different thoughts of aritists.      In the Public Art Walking Tour, we walked around and saw some public arts in Chicago. In fact, we can learn something from art when we appreciate them by ourselves. Some of public art will offer a special way for deformity to enjoy artistic charm. This special way proves that public art is for everyone who live in the society.       ...

  (Wrigley Square)      In Millennnium Park, we saw some arts there. For me, it's a wonderful trip to feel the power of art. Public art is a sort of art which can be appreciated by the public. Many people think that art is a very obscure thing for public to enjoy. However, public art is designed for the public though somebody can't feel them. This is the subtlely of public art, we can find those public artworks only when we see them closely.    (Jay Pritzker Pavilion)   Some glass stones and they have beautiful radience  

       This is my collage work. My collage's theme is about City. I use some scraps of colorful paper and hand drawing to create my collage.  In this collage, I want to show the scenery of city when the sun rise, so I use different color papers and make them from deep to shallow.

           This is one of my favorite artworks calls Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival . Its artist is Zeduan Zhang, a famous artist who was a ctive in the Northen Song Dynasty. Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is painted on a roll of thin, tough silk which is 24.8cm wide and 528.7cm long. There are 3 parts of scenery in  Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival as follows: outskirts, Shangtu Bridge and downtown streets of Bianjing.     In  Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival , Zeduan Zhang draws more than 500 people with different occupations and activities. They are so vivid that it seems we are stay in the real Northen Song Dynasty when we see this artwork ourselves.
