Art Review : Handcrafted Luxury by Disha Seth

21 August 2015

Last Thursday I visited the Graduate Diploma Art and Design course final show, I was impressed by the glass work named " Handcrafted Luxury" by Disha Seth.

There is a one glass bottle displays in the dark room that use only one light to illuminate. At the first time that I saw this work, I thought the work's shape was a ladybug but it doesn't. Disha said that her inspiration was from the tear drop and use the movement of water flow to create a form, the colours were also inspired from fluidity of water which were blue and white. Moreover, she said that she had taken 4-5 months for this work that include lots of experiments before she done the final work. Disha's final work is a perfume bottle which use the Art Nouveau style to design.

Furthermore, Disha tried to make her work become more luxury by using a dark background with one light, which she said that it looked like the entering of exquisite showroom. Personally, I think her aims is successful because when I had walked in her space, I felt like I was in ' What is Luxury? Exhibition' at the V&A museum, whether it be the artwork or atmosphere. Moreover, I really like the shape and colour that can express how the movement of tear drop in her imagination looked like. So I think she succeeded to create the the luxury perfume bottle. Hope to see her around when the main course start!!! :)  

TED TALK: Building the Seed Cathedral

20 August 2015

How do I think about the connection between aesthetic design and eco-friendly implication can change architecture and the world?

I think eco-friendly can lead the way to create and design that make not only product but also architecture more unique. Furthermore, the building that combine between eco and aesthetic can make people realize to the important of nature.

If I have a chance to help my cities become more eco-friendly and more sustainable, I will start to campaign people to use product from eco-friendly such as eco car and eco bike.
Moreover, I will encourage people to build eco house which use solar energy.

MAKER (2014) Review

13 August 2015


In your life, have you ever wanted to create something?

Since I was young I wanted to create something by myself to use it. I have pursued my dream, now I can make my own ceramics by my hand!!!!

"Maker" is a documentary about the movement of maker which impacts on society, culture and economy in the U.S. 

In my opinion, this documentary made me realize about the crucial things about maker. I think everyone can be a maker just think and start do it. For example, one of the interviewer is only a little girl but she can made an electric product by herself, another interviewer produced the product from leftovers and unused items. I think making a valueless things become more value or create somethings by yourselves are make more value in that product. As I mention, I think the value is not only the product but also the process whether it be thinking, making and solving process. Moreover, There is a website called "Shapeways" in this documentary that make people's ideas become true by using 3D printing. I think this website is really phenomenal because even some people have some idea, they don't know the way to create, so it encourages people to think a product.

So do you want to be a maker?....... Just think and do it!!!

Project 3 - INTROSPECTION (J&C)

10 August 2015

Project 3 is"Art and Activism: Linking Continents, Bridging Culture", I have to do this project as a group. My group name is "J&C" which means Jewelry and Ceramics. We have decide to make project about "Identity", make the question " Who am I " that make people realize about themselves. We think that if everyone can accept themselves, they can have more confidence and tolerance because accepting background and ourselves mean we accept that we are different from others. Moreover, our aim is to help people find the value of themselves which is self-acceptance.

My responsibility of this project is proposal coordinator, which I have to manage the part of proposal to members and organize and check the proposal. I found that it quit difficult to organize every part of proposal from members because everyone have their own way to write and have some different opinion that made me hard to find the connection between each part. Moreover, members have had lots of idea which made the total exceed 1,000 words, hence it extremely difficult to shorten the article that some sentences I have to delete and summarize. Besides, we found that language is the big problems because we have to share and express our ideas in English which is very difficult and sometimes made us misunderstand some points. However, I have learnt to organize and write the proposal that is very important in future. Furthermore, the most important thing that I gain is experience to work as group, we have learnt lots of things from each other such as collaboration, discussion and tolerance which is the crucial thing to collaborate. This experience will be my precious memory!!!

I really glad to be part of this group J&C.

:)

Finally, even audiences may not find the best answer "Who am I?" through this project, trying to find an answer and realization about their own identity is our success.

.... Now your turn, can you find an answer " WHO ARE YOU?"
