I discovered this video a couple weeks into the school year… a period of time where I began to feel the slight pang of homesickness. This clip goes beyond words and after watching it I found myself crying alone in the silence of the library. This is true art.
When designing artistic works, one should pursue “new ideas” and break the existing mode. To obtain new ideas, one has to break the routine way of thinking. With the accumulation of knowledge and techniques, people will consciously or unconsciously form a kind of fixed thinking pattern. The fixed thinking pattern could help you to cultivate a certain type of design style. However, this fixed thinking pattern at the same time endangers you and blocks you from proceeding ahead. By the fixed thinking pattern, we will always think in certain mode, our thoughts develop towards one single direction, and we could not be teemed with imagination like a child. Naturally, blocked by this fixed thinking pattern, one could not design creative works. Therefore, we should frequently break the routine and existing thinking pattern, should observe things from different angles and perspectives and should think in a different way. We should think in the way as a child does. At least, we should try to think as a child does. It is a must that we dare to dream and to imagine.
A saying of Arabs is that “Personality determines everything”. Therefore, the creation capacity of a human being is closely connected with the personality of the person. The following personality characteristics are conducive to helping a person to jump out of the routines and to accept new ideas.
Curious: be extremely curious about and eager to learn about the future things; dare to raise questions and dissension;be fond of independent thinking; be not willing to accept others’ theories without thinking.
Tolerant: be tolerant about things and others; be able to endure and to accept oblique and contradictive things and ideas.
Optimistic: be able to treat things in positive and active mood; and assume the attitude of no failure but just feedback;
Positive: have strong inner movement motivation; be full of energy; have a wide interests; like challenges; tend to think independently; be not afraid of authority; be able to take initiative to question and stick to it wit persistence until the answers is found.
Absorbed: pursue uncommon aims; be absorbed in such pursuit, be indulged in it; forget food and eat and spend all his or her time in it.
Humorous: humor is a path for language thoughts; laugh is a good prescription to solve problems; it is easier for people who have the sense of humor, are fond of laughing and are happy to have inspiration and novel ideas than those who are passive.
Imaging: it is the marks of creative persons to have rich imagination power, trust intuition and like contemplation.
Of course, one who possesses the afore mentioned personality characteristics might not always be creative. However, it is sure that they live an elastic life, could master more psychological and environmental resources and could have more choices. With more choices, the chances of being successful will be more.
The art culture of artists is reflected on the artistic works in the form of artistic emotion. Originality is the key in making a specific artistic works different from others. Innovative designs will be respected and admired by future generations. In the process of basic technique learning, we should learn to reason and focus on both learning and thinking, and learn to draw inferences about other cases from one instance so as to achieve high level in learning.

At times art gives me the feeling of all-conquering optimism…and then it comes back and tears my self-esteem to shreds..
The same goes for going home. Its where I grew up and where the people that are most precious to me will be…but then it is also the stinging, painful reminder that I will always come in second place.

Eats Bamboo Shoots

A panda walks into a diner, sits down, and orders a sandwich. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun, and shoots the waiter dead.
As the panda stands up to go, the manager shouts, “Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter, and you didn’t even pay for your sandwich!”
“Hey, man, I’m a PANDA!” the panda shouts back. “Look it up!”
The manager opens his encyclopedia and reads: “Panda: a tree-dwelling mammal of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves.”
Reminds me of studying in the Valley Library late at night and those lazy, rainy days…just chill and takin me to my own little world. Seba is the master of smooth tunes:]
Our lives are fast forward,
slow motion rewind,
our hearts are wide open,
we’re slidin’ through time,
in favorite glimpses,
low frequency highs,
we’re next to the speakers,
and open skies,
you’re radiant and your cool,
and warm like a sunflower,
the sun reflects on your skin,
and glistens in your hair,
your destiny becomes the sound,
and rise through the warm air,
our love has no fear or doubt,
we’ll just blaze and we’ll fade out,
