At the first time, I saw the Korean artist Jung Do-Jun’s work; Heaven, Earth, and Man I think it is full of creativity, unique and very powerful. His work is unalike other artist, he leave a huge space on the painting and using very simple ink drawing horizontal stripe to show the meaning underneath the painting. Moreover, the big red dot on the centre top of the picture just simply makes the picture standing out from other paintings. I really like the way he present his thought.
Works by Korean master calligrapher Jung Do-jun will be seen for the first time in the United States and exhibited extensively throughout the world, Do-jun's works utilize a wide range of media and formats. Do-jun is an established author, instructor, and holds numerous memberships in art organizations. He has received commissions for memorial tablets and inscriptions at imperial palaces in Seoul.
After I read the informed perspective, my opinion about the Korean calligrapher does not change that much because the only it matter is his work not his background. His background does not affect me at all. Moreover, his work is excellent; therefore, there is no reason for me to change my mind after I read the information about him.

no more cheesy cell phone
The artist Doffing, who runs San Francisco art gallery Start SOMA, is betting he's not the only one. Clip-art-style services that is the newest way of forming the art. And he launched his own wallpaper website “Start Mobile” in January. He said it will serve as an various source of cell-phone art for those who prefer pop and street art to kitties and puppies. The cell-phone wallpaper market brought in around $100 million this year, according to Julie Ask, a wireless analyst with Jupiter Research. However, many customers actually want the images Doffing sees as cheesy, and analysts predict the market could stagnate or decline in the future, she said. This is a sharp contrast to phone products like games and ring tones, whose sales are on the rise. Therefore, he decides to devote into the clip-art on the cell phone market.
The cell phone market is very enormous and as the number of consumer is keep increasing and the technology of the cell phone is keep improving, the basic and normal style of the cell phone can not satisfy the consumer anymore. Therefore, those cell phone company are trying to re-design and forming the new style or they even follow the trend in the fashion field in order to attract more consumer. As the number of the cell phone users is keep increasing now, the appearance of the cell phone is not the only concern that attracts the consumer. Moreover, the company starts to produce some limit edition cell phone or corporate with other famous fashion brands. For example, the one of the biggest cell phone company LG is promoting a new cell phone which is corporate with the world famous fashion brand PARDA to produce a all touch screen cell phone, and it also is the limit edition. Consumer is so crazy about it. Therefore, from this example we can see that Cell Phone Company will using some special attraction to push the consumer to buy something they do not need.

the artist's view of technology
The artist, Nancy Worthington’s art combines hands-on entertainment with social observations and educational content which bringing humanity to technology through art. She embraces viewer sharing and emphasizing that through physical involvement. Her work reflects human conflict with nature and with our technological civilization. A vital part of this art is the exposure Worthington gives to the ambiguity, inconsistency and polarity of the human condition and it’s of social and psychological sting. Her images become a catalyst to awaken consciousness and to facilitate change through awareness for a better, more humane world.
After read this article that makes me feels more concern with the conflict condition and the problem underneath the technology and human society. Usually the view of the artist can reflect the question underneath the society and the problem that they point out is usually very concretive and serious. There are tons of examples that show the divergence situation of the improvement of technology and the shocked society. For example, that the cell phone is greatest invention in recent year and it is dramatic influence people’s daily life on positive side and negative side. Cell phone indeed helps improving the convenient of the communication. However, the over usage of the modern technology that might makes people think it is enough just communicate by the cell phone and forget that the face to face talk is much important for the people. Therefore, even though, technology is high-tech toady we still need to remember and aware the problem that might occurred by the modern technology.

Creative Spirituality Reflection
In my point of view that there are some many different definition of the spirituality, but for me , as I am a Taiwanese , that I believe everything has its own spirit even the stone and water does. So, we should respect every different spirits. And I also believed that spirit can represent the innate character of things. Therefore, I believe that the spirituality is everything.
The answer for this question is probably it depends because in the western culture, they do not believe that everything has its own spirit, and they think that is so ridiculous to believe it. However, for the eastern culture such as Chinese and Japanese, they believe everything has its spirit; therefore they even worship the stone and regard it as the god which can protect them. So, I believe spirituality differ from religion.
it is hard to define creativity but in my personal opinion that I think the creativity is something about how the people can expand their imagination. In some research shows that the creativity is involves with the development of the person’s childhood, there are tons of example can shows it, for example, the child always drawing something is so out of the sense but actually, that’s the children creativity .
There are tons of sources of creativity, the daily experience or the experience of traveler can all provide the source, especially, the experience of traveler because the traveler means people get away from their routine life and start to adopt something new and unique and which can inspire people’s imagination and providing more various thoughts for the people. Therefore, I believe that is the great source of the creativity.

Asian Horror
Asian Horror is the new term appears on the horror movie recently. It is new horror movie type come from Asia; it is mainly focus on creating the mood and discerning the story behind the serial killer or the ghosts in order to point out the reason of everything to reaming and warning the audiences. Moreover, it usually involves with the Asian country’s tradition and cultures. That could attract more audiences because in those Asian horror movies is not only can entertaining but also can learn something useful from it. I believe it is why the Asian horror is so popular in Hollywood now.
The area covers by the Asian horror are mainly included: Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan and Thailand. These five countries are the places produced most of the movies in Asia. As the technology of the movie is keep improving today and the convenient of internet. Those Asian countries can easily adapt to the new technology and improving the quality of the movies which makes the audiences around the world have more choice beside the Hollywood movies. The movie which produced in Asia is different from America because the style, story and type of the character are so unique that is so easy to catch the people’s eyes and I believe that is the main reason why the Asian horror is so popular all over the world now. Unalike, the Hollywood movie is full of the violence and bloody sense. The Asian movie is more looking forward on the meaning on the story which can sort of educated people and learning something such as how to interact with other, and we should do something good for others. Therefore, that is the main reasons why people are so crazy about Asian horror.

the history of horror
“Since w-a-a-a-a-y back before cinema was even invented, man has always enjoyed the thrill that goes with the sudden shock and prolonged anxiety experienced when we're afraid.”(). This quite is entirely summarizing the points why horror movies are so attractive for people. Moreover, as time changed the content like the plot and characters appear in the movie also changed. For example, at the beginning, the most of character appear in the horror movie is like vampire or the monster in the fart tales such as the Frankenstein or witches. Those are the very famous and traditional characters that would appear on the horror movies.
However, as time changed, the serial killer replaces Frankenstein. Nowadays, the taste of the audiences are altered, they prefer something more violence and bloody. The traditional monster in the fray tales can not satisfy them anymore. They are look forward the more serious visual excitement. Therefore, those movies company put more factor of violence on the movies to attract more audiences. But, I think that could cause a huge problem on the society. Horror is the most of teenager’s favorite type of movies but like the problem that I mention previously that the horrors of today is over violence and bloody for the teenager and that might bring out some negative effects for them because they are not so mature mentally, moreover, they do know how to control themselves. Therefore, the aggression on the movie could influence the way they think further effect the way they behaved. Therefore, I think people should seriously and carefully think about this problem and perhaps we should strongly protest to the company ask them to limit the violence in the movie in order to protect our children.

chubby&confident
The only adornment of my body and dress is skinny or looks skinny. If who ever been Asia country will know that most of the Asian girl include guys always so skinny. And even those people already thin as the skeleton, they still keeps going on the diet in order to fit in size zero. Do not b surprising because the as the time changed the centre idea of the Asia society also changed. In the past, people think that only the woman who looks well-stacked is beautiful. However, nowadays the centre aesthetic feeling of the beautiful already changed. In today’s society, if the girl is a little bit chubby, people will think she is dumb and backhanded. Therefore, in the Asia country people try any ways to lost weight; even some of method is too dangerous. However, not only that teenager s will try to lost weight, so does those their parents. Because everyone do not wants a chubby kids, beside, if their children is too chubby, those parents will try anything they can do to help their children too lost weight. Therefore, in the centre value of the beauty is skinny country. It is hard to find out someone who is fat.
However, on the other hand, till I came to U.S. in my country, I will try anything that I can do to keep skinny and if sometimes I find out some part of my body is a little bit to chubby, I will try to cover it because for me, if I show the part is not perfect, I will afraid people might laughing at me. But the situation has been change since I studying in America because Americans are not caring that much about their weight and their sizes. Moreover, in here seems like everyone is so confident with their body even they are chubby. When I first time been here, I feel so surprising because so many people shows most of the part of their body even those part is so imperfect. I was shocked but when I staring at their face I find nothing beside confident. Therefore, I think that inspire me feel more condiment and comfortable when I show out my body even it’s a little bit chubby.

the slow food movement
The slow food movement is tried to approach people to have a good, clean and fair food. They believe that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work. The reason why they promote the slow food movement is that because of the today’s society is only looking forward the efficiency and which cause the quick and extensive growth of the fast food industry but the traditional breeding livestock can not satisfy the need of the fast food industry. Therefore, they are using more chemical stuff to breeding more stuff to raise more live stocks. But do you know those livestock that we eat which come from unnatural breeding process will endanger people’s health in the end. Therefore, there are so many people try to follow the slow food movement.
In my point of view, I strongly agree with the slow food movement because that is much healthy and natural way for human to eat and live. Because of the quick growth of the fast food industry, The people who raising the livestock will use more chemical material such as growth hormone or antibiosis to breeding it. And think about it, if people feed the chicken with it and in the end. we are the one who eats those chicken then we would eat these chemical material after all. Therefore, if any people who do not support or insist to keep eating the fast food. They should look at the slow food movement website. And they will find out how serious consequences it could be. Therefore, for me, I will try my best to support the slow food movement like do not eat fast food or eat more organic food in order to support the movement and maybe one day we can change the world.

food = art
Can you ever image that a chief’s dishes can be exhibit in five-yearly Documenta art show in Kassel, Germany – one of the biggest events in the world of contemporary art. Chief Adrià is one of the most famous chief in New York. Recently, he open a new restaurant call El Bulli. And it only open for the six month a year, it close at six winter months. In this six month, Adrià bring his fellow chiefs to their laboratory in Barcelona try to study the essence of the food and research more the possibility of the new food combination in experimental ways. That was a great adventure in food filed and which bring the food to new frontier.
In my point of view that I believe the food is fulfill with aesthetic feeling and it is indeed involved with the sense of beauty because like those French cuisine, the decoration of the dish just like a pieces of art work. And the in usual, the complete French dinner usually takes like 3 hours to slowly finish the food. While the client is enjoying the dinner, they also admire the aesthetic decoration of the dishes. In the other hand, some people are saying that the food can not regard as kind of art because they are saying that most of people thinks the taste of the food is depends on the cost level. In my point of view, I strongly disagree it. From the example that I previously mentioned I believe that the food already become the part of the modern art, nobody can deny it. And more and more chief are devoted themselves to find out what is the best for their clients and what can taste amazing. Moreover, the food is not only involves with the taste but also inherit a country’s tradition and culture. Nowadays, food means more than we thought before. Therefore, I think the cooking is already the essential part of our society.
