PROJECT: 2060

The last project of the second year is '2060' We are asked to think about what the people in 2060 want us to do now to influence the future as designers. This is the first time our 3 majors worked together. The whole 8 weeks project include many workshops, events related. Basically about society, food, catastrophe. At the very beginning, I just simply draw something about 'future', really random, abstract drawing without too much thinking, the architecture, people...etc. 3 main workshops 'community'—equal Our group idea is about 'equal', people become more equal in 2060, no matter what your skin colour, nationality, race, age...etc The plan for the event is: Let our groupmate wear the 'white suit', provide materials of pens, pencils, crayons, oil paintings, coloured paper fabric, balloons. Make the audience draw, shape these 'models' whatever they want to express how they think 'What do p

PROJECT: Selling Yourself

This 'selling yourself' project asked us to put ourselves into the illustration system, understand how the art market works. 14 Personally Important Firstly, made some little drawings about ourselves, ‘personally important' what do I like, What do I afraid, etc. On the first workshop, we put our drawings on a big A1 paper and were given some object words, to describe each other's works. Really funny, the descriptions I received are like, artisanal, pop, complex, palette, stylised, harmonious, and many others. I have to say everyone has different opinions, even though their opinions could be completely opposite. Micro Marco Diary Then, next week's task was MICRO MARCO DIARY, which I didn't quite understand its meaning. Anyway, just started to draw from my daily life. And it was a really casual record, no special rule in my life. I began to think about how I looks like

PROJECT: Fiction

The first project we did in our 2nd year, was 'Fiction', the 'core' work has already begun during the summer, each of us chose a book from the list the tutor provided, my choice was 'Aesop Fables', cause I always interested in the fable stories. So, I started to draw related to the theme. Characters： I've drawn many characters from the whole book.(animals) Landscapes： The scene part, I drew the lines first, then scanned these to the computer, coloured them in Photoshop, finally printed them out on tracing paper. I had a trip in Shanxi(a province in China)during the summer, I did some observation drawing on the trip, these might be useful for the project. Except for the flowers, other pros, like water, stones, fire, etc. I drew them in a quite random way. I did the watercolour drawing first, then had lines on it. I used the Photoshop to select the lines session, to see the different visual effect

COURSE PROJECT: Play-Learn——The Battle of Austerlitz

Actually, at the very beginning, I didn't think much of the relationship between 'play-learn' and this 'battle of Austerlitz'. I picked this theme only because I have never drawn military related stuff before, I wanted to have a try in this project. I began to do the research for the primer task. I have to admit that I am not good at the history, the name of the people or the place are hard for me to distinguish. So I researched as many information as I can in order to understand the history battle. Research 2. December. 1805 Austerlitz, Moravia, Austrian Empire (now slavkov u Brna, Czech Republic) France - Russian&Holy Roman Empire The battle of Austerlitz also called "The Battle of Three Emperors", took place in Moravia. The Battle was fought on December 2nd.1805. It was the last, and ultimately decisive engagement in the war of the Third Coalition which was fought between the forces of Napoleonic France on on

ROTATION:Reportage

So, it's our rotation project now. The first on of our group is "people and places" with jay. The primer task is to find a place you are familiar with or you want to know in London, and stay there try to feel that atmosphere, to see the people. Do the drawing, writing, 30 pages about everything of the place. EAT TOKYO I picked the 'Eat Tokyo' first (the one in Holborn). It's a Japanese restaurant. My friend and I go there after each assessment, so it's like a little celebration to us. You can tell how much I love this place. I went there again for the primer task and tried to record everything about it. The people, the food, or the environment. However, after the briefing on Friday, I had changed my mind, as our aim is drawing an illustration to introduce the places in London to next year's students. I thought a restaurant may not be the best choice, so I plan to draw a bookshop 'Forbi

DEGREE SHOW: The Niveous Deer

I began to draw the final drawings, I plan to do 30, and a book cover. First are the drafts, and then I drew the line works. I have 5 chapters of the story, for each chapter has 6 images. I tried my best to tell the story by images because I want the audience can understand the story through my drawings. Finally, I finished the 30 images, almost 2 days for 1 drawing, used digital drawing, photoshop, and next step I need to add script inside the book and think about the layout. Below is the drawing for the book cover, and also for the poster. The Story: Prequel 1. A long time ago, there was a little kingdom, the kingdom was peaceful and harmonious, and it was administrated by a young prince. 2. However, after years and years, the prince witnessed so many births, senilities, illnesses and deaths, that in his opinion, were so very painful. 3. The prince was terrified of death. In order to avoid it, he decided to leave his kingdom a

ROTATION:Editorial

The last project of rotation is "Editorial" with Luke. It's our first time to draw depend on an article. We had 2 articles to do. The first article is about Squatters. 1.Squatters, homeless people and empty buildings---use labyrinth(the road in the drawing) to show how hard if the homeless people want to find a place to live in. 2.Squatters, homeless people and empty buildings---the people in the drawing is the reflection, there is something(maybe a window or glass) obstruct the people, so they cannot touch the buildings.I even try to draw each building on a people's reflection, so it's matching. The second article is about surfing. I did some lines drawing first. These images are all about waves, how exciting the sport is, and good waves make a good contest, crummy waves make contest unwatchable. I try to include 2 opposite scenes in one drawing. I drew waves shapes from "roller coaster", to show how

EXTERNAL PROJECT: The story in the forest

I always want to draw for children book, so in this project, I chose the theme of children illustration book. My plan is a children story book. The story is based on a poetry in Chinese, but when I translate it into English, it's no longer a poetry anymore… 森林里的故事森林住着孔雀仙后这里安静又祥和百鸟在枝头飞旋唱着快乐的歌美丽的日子啊一天天流过突然一天晚上月亮消失了闪电劈开一颗大树落下了一只丑陋的鸟它抖一抖黑色的羽毛变成了“孔雀仙后” 飞上枝头，开始鸣叫森林的鸟儿啊以为来了它们的仙后围着它快乐地盘旋这只假孔雀突然脸色一变让百鸟向它跪倒它呱呱叫着森林里好吃的美味啊统统属于我你们也属于我把你们的孩子献给我只有我能让你们飞去天国日子一天天流过财宝堆积在劈倒的大树旁鸟儿们日复一日地送来美食可依旧填不满它贪婪的胃口在假孔雀的蛊惑下一些鸟儿的羽毛渐渐变黑眼睛变成了乌黑的墨水它们开始攻击并杀死其他颜色的小鸟美丽的日子不再有善良的小鸟们瑟瑟发抖仙后听到了它们的哭泣从山顶飞来交给了小鸟三样法宝用平等，和睦与爱的力量去撕碎这虚伪的蛊惑鸟儿们把法宝擎到空中假孔雀变回了丑陋的黑鸟哀嚎着向西方逃跑森林恢复了安静与祥和鸟儿们又开始快乐的唱歌但是，警惕啊警惕西方的森林暗流涌动不要被谎话蒙蔽了眼睛这个世界充满了阳光让我们友爱和睦又平等这首歌不要忘记让我们友爱和睦又平等 The story in the forest Th

PROJECT: LBS-London Experience

This term I have spent lots of times in Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, British Museum, etc. I found it's really a nice way to learn or find information, every time I go there I can see new stuff. Sketches from 'the clockmakers' collection' exhibition. These are the drawings from an exhibition in Science Museum, about the clock. At the beginning, I just thought those clocks are beautiful and drew them down. Free drawing related. Those are 3 free drawings about the museum as well, nothing special meaning, but just free imagination about the stuff in Science Museum. London Business School Competition Then, I intended to use this theme for the LBS project, it's a project about London experience for London Business School. After having tutorials, I needed to think about how to connect my idea about the museum with LBS, like finance. I find there is an exhibition about currency in British
