ESSAY PLAN 2

ESSAY PLAN-"THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ART AND DESIGN
Title:
"Differences between art and design lie not so much in how they look as what they do."
Approach:
Consider how the designers' attitudes to both their audiences and their works have changed in a revolutionary way which is mostly same as artists.
Introduction:
There is a glorious period of design in the 1980s,"anything could be art", even a bed in a room. A pair of old shoes on the floor could be taken to the gallery. Why design could not be? Recently, audiences become more confused about art and design works of similarly how they look. Essentially, this has resulted in the attitudes of creators to both audiences and their works changing.Go back to the origenal reason of the works,what defined them as art work or design work is the atitude of the creators to both their audiences and works.
Thesis statement:Basicaly,I agree with Brady for the differences between art and design not lie only in how they look, as what he mentioned the popuse,how they made,cireria,audience,materials(what they do).But,the orignal way of distigushing a art work or design work depends on the atitude of the creators what have mentioned up of the plan.From the examples of the atitude of two architects can be boviously seen that architcture designers want to creat a work to present their conceptial idea to the audiences through an architecture ,then way of "what they do" of the architects will be changed to another way similar to an art wok.Under this situation,the work could be seen as an art work.
Paragraph1:
Main idea: Give the architect Mies for example who creat farnsworth house based on interaction to others(a feeling of light, openness, and freedom of movement at the ground level etg.) showing the atitude to his audience is mostly same as the artist Ernesto Neto.
Evidence:The well known architect Mies won all the audiences for the concept of without solid exterior walls, full-height draperies on a perimeter track allow freedom to provide full or partial privacy when and where desired. The house has been described as sublime, a temple hovering between heaven and earth, a poem, a work of art.

Sources2: Ernesto Neto's exibition guide of hayward gallary
Paragraph2:
Main idea: The attitude of the famous architect Utzon's work based on copying the his architecture project of Sydney opera house is the same as artists.
Evidence: Architect Utzon says his design was inspired by the simple act of peeling an orangeorange: the 14 shells of the building, if combined, would form a perfect sphere.which he want to use his own words to present a sphere of the building according to the require of the goverment.For this the thesis of him is like Heigeer said:“A work of art has a inner meaning,expressed its outer form,as the soul or mind is expressed by the body.”
Sources3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B8rn_Utzon#Opera_House_design
Sources4: A Heigeer Dictionary,1992,165
Conclusion:
I basically agree with Brady that the differences between art and design lie in what he mentioned (what they do).On the other hand, as the two architects' works showing their atitude to their audiences is mostly same to the artists which metioned such as Ernesto Neto and showing Utzon's atitude to his work is like Heigeer defined what is a work of art.Consequently, We have powerful reason to believe that design could be art.

The New Decor and Ernesto Neto at The Hayward Gallery

The New Decor and Ernesto Neto at The Hayward Gallery
Step into the Hayword Gallery this summer, many buzzwords that are linked to interior design such as "space,sculpture,furnature"surfaced.
One will be astonished to find the works of 36 artists from 22 countries being exhibit on the lower floor of the exhibition hall. The artists transform the appearance of daily furniture into a different set of interior design that overturn the normally accepted.
Under the topic of "New Decor" the artists have a knack to represent the political and social problems. They not only display their exhibitions, but also have the objective of exploring new ideas in interior design.
Two such good examples are the "Motorway Flyover" by LOS Carpinteros from Cuba and "Smokes Spheres" by Angela Bulloch from Canada. However, in my humble opinion, there are some need to improved as curators,Because sometimes I was tired from matching the title to its exhibit,and some are arranged in confusion,which the curators need to give more rational space to these magical artists.
One finished with the exhibition on the lower floor. A large-scale sculpture waits you on the upper floor. “Edges of the world”by brilliant artist Ernesto Neto, explores the design on tension and weight, by involving biomorsphere forms. With Nero’s unique concept, the sculpture was arranged with a rein that spread out of the gallery’s top floor and terraces.
Visitors would naturally be attracted to “Edges of the World”, because of its colorful and relaxable space. Upon entering the exhibit, everyone will enjoy Nero’s installation which aims to fuse human’s body with our city. Walking through the tunnel-like passages, one will be able to appreciate the wonderful scene of pieces works, enjoy slightly surreal happiness in the miniature cityscape, walk to future in the open air, as well as dipping into small pool which combine variety levels of technology,even we can climb and get into its heart to listen to the heartbeat as if listen ourselves. The success of Nero’s exhibition is built on his ability to display his idea of dream land using a mixture of sculpture,landscape,space,architecture,urban design, and also one who put these ideas into practice.

REVIEW-OMA

OMA (office for metropolitan Architecture)Villa Dall’s Ava 1985-1991

Film dinected by Pichard Copans 1992,16mm,coulor

The Villa Dall’s Ava,to be found in the quiet,leafy,bourgeois suburb of St cloud in Pairs was designed and built 1985-1991 by Koolhas,and OMA,the team comprising,Xavier de Geyter and Jeroen Thomas.The engian,Marc Mimram,was also key to the successful realisation.It was commissioned by a publisher Dominique.the house was in someway emblematic ( of 21century architecture futher they wish a swimming pool on the roof.The site was a glorious one,with views over the city toward the Eiffel tower.The travargant)even florid 19 century houses.thest suround villa Dull’s Ava serve to increase the surreal house itself.

Koolhas is my favorate architect ,and the view of the villa shows the artists tending to respond the to nature. Know what is the positive and negitive aspacts of the design. Many angles view different.He employs process of addition and erosion that the architect built up.

Pichad Copans repeat the glorious of the architect.and imagine what to modify in another addition.What atracted me once again for the same art work in different way.
And now I reallise the art work should be explained in a new way such as view ,paiting to give a fresh shake to people,then there is also new judgement too.

FRESH WEEK IN LONDON

IT is the first week i have been in london,but i feel like i have been here at least for a whole month. I know why ,bucause i am an stranger here,and everthing for me is fresh.

WHEN I fist step on the ground of London, I know I am going to change everyday, I hope all of them are good.

THE air is fresh, the landscape around the street is green, but not safe where I live. In the first few days, I feel like i am still in Beijing. but when I travelled at the Oxford street I was surprised by the architecture there. They are low but classic ,I took many pictures of them and everyone seems like a piece of painting. I love modern design of architecture, and I also could see the elements of it from the buildings as well. I was deeply attracted by what i saw. Each building seems in concert but different, and in fact they are different in details. In China it is hard to make every building critical, because the teconology of built is limited, and I don’t know how they can do it in London, maybe it is what I am going to achieve later.

PRESSENCIAL COURSES have been given for four days, and the teacher Mark and the classmates there are easy to get along harmony with. there are just two boys in the class and the girls union become the more powerful .Although the block 1 is an easy one ,but i am still focus on it much. And do everything seriously.

WHAT makes me up again is the travell of China Town this afternoon, although I am not so good in healthy, I insist to everywhere I want to go, and take some photos too. When i saw the photos of myself I was surprised for the big smile on my face, how could I smile big like that? Maybe I felt like at home that second. YES,I miss my family, but I want to get adjusted here as soon as possible, then i could enjoy the museums, the cinemas, the galleries, the bars, the libraries, and even the architecture here.

TO sum up, It is really a fresh week i have ever had,and there must be more fresh weeks there not for away, and my new life ,new study and new career begin now!!!! SO ......

ACTION~


XIAOYI GO GO GO GO TOOOOOOO MY WONDER DREAM!
