I traced this image in illustrator. I hope that it is better, however, it has some problems about shadow. I will try to fix these problem next time.

Cheer!

Wonderful day!

This week, I went to suburb to enjoy my day. I woke up early, came to my friends' home to go with them. However, that was a rainy day:(. We had to wait about 2 hours for the rain to stop. And, when we came there, it still rained:(. But, we had really funny and great time there because it rained, so just we were there:D. Hehe!

Look this image, the sky was so grey:-s.

After raining, the plant was really fresh. I took this image, but when coming home, looked at it again and felt that was so so beautiful. The raindrop was still on the leave. Wow. Do you feel hungry?:D

And, you see everything was really quiet. The rain still dropped down on the surface of lake.

We also took lots of our photographs:D. And, when I leaned on the leave wall of the house, it was pushed in immediately:D. Hahaha! We did not think that the house was clocked at the door, but we still came in by the subdoor:D. Hahaha! And, we observed to make sure that nobody saw us, after that we broke into the house:D. Inside, the house was so dark, actually it had electricity, but if we turned on the light, they would see us:D. After coming, we closed the door:D, and kept silence:D. Wow, this was so adventurous that I had never had before:D. We still were there, and listened to the activities outside:D. Then, I took the image from the indside dark house to look the outside through the clocked door:D.

This image shows that the door was clocked:D. And, when I leaned on the wall....

It was pushed in:D. And, inside the house:D, looked outside the house:D

After that, we waited until nobody was outside, we got out the house as fast as possible:D. And, when we were outside, there was a woman who was sweeping was suprised at us:D. Maybe she wondered that she had not seen us 1 minute before, but then there were three girls there. Hehe, Maybe she thought we were ghost:D. Haha, crazy ghosts:D

Later, we took some photographs before coming home. And, when leaving, we saw a couple who was tooking their wedding photographs. They were so nice, and I just took their photograph for souvenir:D, I did not think that the bride looked at my camera. Hehe! this was really wonderful.

PS: I had a awesome day:D though it rained whole day. Love all my friends so much, muoahh. We will have another day with much more fun.

Artwork of Edward Tufte

I would like to choose three of his landscape artworks to discuss in my report. They are so interesting and beautiful. I hope that i will not change it:). All of them are the sculptures of his work.


1. Spring arcs:





2. Petal

3. Millstone

The landscape artwork

I searched information to prepare for my report, and I founded that this information is really interesting. So, I would like to share this to everybody. Hope that it has something to you:).

"Rocket Science" is the landscape artwork of Edward Tuftle:

Rocket Science is ~32 feet (10 meters) high and ~72 feet (22 meters) long, andis constructed from ~48,000 pounds (22,000 kilograms) of rusting scrap steel.The picture above shows, for scaling purposes, the artist (6 feet, 1.8 meters tall)standing inside the spaceship at upper right.










Below: Mike Nitowski, the welder from United Concrete who worked on Rocket Science, crawled 72 feet (22 meters) up the hollow tube in the fuselage and spacecraft emerging to see the fine view. The picture resembles a 1930s Soviet workers-paradise poster:

Rocket Science casts amazing shadows down on the rolling land, shadows that flow acrossthe land and move up the sloping hillside as the Earth rotates and the sun sets. Here areshadow pictures taken from my spacecraft perch looking down to the ground.
Note the distortions in the shadow shapes. In creating the piece, I expected some good shadowsto show up, but these exceeded my expectations. The distortion of the human form isan especially happy result.
The shadows formed by the 3 legs should be interesting but shadows cast by nearby treesmasked the leg shadows during this photo shoot. Eventually we'll make a time-lapse videoof one full day of shadow-flows (as Andrei Severny and I did for Larkin's Twig here).

Following an afternoon atop Rocket Science, I called for a rescue mission. Conducted byCommander Andy Conklin, the mission arrived smoothly in due course. As seen in theshadows below, Andy climbs aboard the spacecraft from the rescue vehicle:

PS: If you want to see more details about this artwork, and how the project works, you can check the Edward homepage and take a look

Sun & Moon exercise

I creat this logo based on the idea follows:

The big circle is the shape of CD, and the sun is as the roll of film, and the moon is as the old CD player, and the ray of sunshine is the waveform of sound. Hope that all of you enjoy it and are not confused about meaning.

Cheer!
