This my development of “the way of seeing”.I observed a lot of patterns and objects in my life, transformed them into patterns and recombined them. Such as bags, blind boxes, perfume bottles and even some art installations.I will extract their outline shape and the pattern on the details, and put the pattern on the details into the outline pattern to form a new pattern.For example, I will extract the bottle shape of the perfume bottle and also extract some detailed patterns of the packaging box and add it to the perfume bottle to form a new pattern.I usually integrate 2-3 new patterns from a photo. Then use photoshop to combine them into a print.In this project, I learned how to combine and update patterns. At the same time, I also learned how to use photoshop to arrange and compose new patterns.

In the painting exercises in the past two weeks, the main elements I extracted came from nature and life. Because I think there are many colors in nature, they look beautiful when they are intertwined. Like the color of fruit, the color of the sky, the color of plants, the color of food packaging and the color of animals. I chose two ways of drawing in software and drawing on drawing paper respectively.First of all, drawing in the software is more about feeling the effects of brushstrokes. Secondly, the painting on paper uses the technique of watercolor and oil pastel superimposition. The special texture of the oil pastel superimposed on it is also very interesting. It also used marker pens for coloring and portraying some details. In the process of painting, I experienced the use of brushes and colors to show the unique texture of different things, for example, some are smooth, some are plush.
