Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision

          A film which elaborates the career and of a young Chinese American architect, Maya Lin.
          It commenced with an existing start of her career as an architect with the designing and creation of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in the United States.
          This film focused on the arguments that surrounded the architectural design of the War Memorial. This elegant design, a national memorial honors U.S. service members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War and all other issues circulating the war.
           Maya Lin then goes to embark on the creation of several other special pieces including the memorial for Slain Civil Rights workers, a house, the Civil Rights Fountain Memorial commemorating women at Yale City, and a variety of sculptures including a self - portrait made in lead and beeswax.
           Despite the controversies surrounding her design and creation, Maya Lin goes through a fascinating process of turning her "strong clear vision" into substantive form.

1. Repeat : we went to the cultural center to visit an exhibit of doors by Eugene Eda and Hey You exhibit.

React : I saw a lot of artworks and they all have a meaning. At the Hey You exhibition, I saw a train passing around an area and at the center, there were houses, cars, aeroplane, and many people. I loved it because it was so real. What surprised me was children on the television who can't talk and were singing.

Reflect : Most of the artworks are representational and just few are abstract. Some of the artworks are made with primary colors and secondary colors, some are drawn with lines.

2. The exhibits are representational. I like the artwork of the muslim woman with the scarf around the head and the neck, the artwork is representational. The scarf on her head is a form of pattern and is very nice. The artist should have made the background representable as well, although, it is somehow clear but not that clear. Why did the artist use more colors on the face.

Title: happy with American.
I pictured a person praising America for winning a football match. And I used the primary and the secondary colors and additional of black.

A cup: this is a cup made with lines. This image is representational  because anybody can see is a cup. I used three different lines in making the cup.














Delete image: this image is also made by lines. It is also representational, I made this image with light straight lines and thick straight lines.

    My favorite color is purple,it is the combination of blue and red. It is feminine and romantic, girly and sexy. Purple color is a special color and nice, it is very attractive too. It is real, is lust for a very long time and is rich and unique as well. Purple means loyalty, ambition, power. I like the image because it attracks and the diamonds are nice and lovely.
