About the Presentation

The photographer for my group is Dorothea Lange.

I think the most interesting thing about our photographer is the world she want to take on and the process when she took photos for some years, she lost herself, and finally she insured her work is meaningful.

I think the most difficult aspect of our artist to discuss is the way how she help the poors when she take photos of them and what she feels under the camera. It's hard but also interesting.

What is Art?

Last class, we had seen many interesting photos, no matter whether I like them, they're really special.

I am always poor at drawing pictures, but I love photography. I have been interested in it for many years. I think the nature give us muse everytime and everywhere.

From those pictures I found some people make their lives with photography, they want to put a different sight on the same object, which maybe not beautiful enough. Cause I knew some knowledge of photography, the people who took those photos are had good skills in photography, but I can't agree all of them, because something was too scarce to understand, why not choose something clear?

I would like to take photos with some thing more obvious, and normal, such like the sunshine, we often see sunshine at a time, but it's changing all the time. The sunshine can mean bright, hope, happiness, however, under the sunshine, there goes to be a shadow, so if we take photos with the shadow, the meaning also changed. Actually the sunshine is just sunshine, it has no sense, but we used to give it a emotion we want to share, that's art, we express our feeling without control.

I think art is not a thing we try to look for but never find, I hope art is the magic I can get something from but not be lost in it.

I like Mann's photos, especially her family's photos. They're the most special photos I had seen, I feel their lives are so quiet and nature, they're simple, no surprises, but strong moving, I don't know why, but I really like the people in it, the river, the colour.

Art is the beauty everyone thinks differently, but they are all come from life, we don't lack of beauty, but we lack of eyes to discover the beauty.

The Presentation Works

Now, I almost agree with that"Madonna is a Queen".

After our presentation, I find I had many new ideas of Madonna. I knew she is a famous star before, but I had never realized how hard she works. I think we had a good work on which songs we had chose, it's really interesting, and this song made me want to know what kind of peron Madonna is. She is so ambivalent that I almost fall in love with her. However, I recognize we hadn't prepared enough cause we still can't explain part of the vedieo meaning. Maybe we need to acquire more background of that song.

And we had wrote a wonderful song, the lyrics were beautiful but realistic. In my opinion, it close to Madonna's life, whatever she looks like, whatever others say, "I bless you". I love our song.

About the event, we had some different opinions our group actually, but that's OK. It's history, it's the past, I hope we can get message from this event, peaceful is very precious. On the other hand, we should to get more knowledge about The Second World War, and we should to remember them but not just to write them down and read them.

The presentation give a chance for us to learn more informations beside songs, also the background, the singer's life and the emotion take on. It's a good time to enjoy music, to share our feelings.

By the way, although the PPT is very very useful and good-looking, I think if we can use the white board to write our thread on it, it maybe more applied and we'll have a clearly line of our minds.
