Collection during winter vacation
• red
About the red color, I collected the red clothes worn by the old lady who celebrated the opening of the shop, red envelopes for the Spring Festival, red balloons hung on the wall for her birthday, red envelopes, red clothes, Santa Claus, red Santa hat, red cars, red CARDS and so on.
I find that these colored objects are used in festive occasions, which indicates that red is the color suitable for celebration. So why do people choose red as the color of celebration when there are so many colors?
People will actually have relevant associations when they see colors. For example, black and gray will give people a very depressing feeling, or blue will make people feel very quiet, and colors will mobilize people’s emotions. People will feel the air is active and their mood will change with the change of the environment when they see the color red, which is so enthusiastic and has a high visual impact. This is also the reason why the red objects I collect are mostly used for celebration.
• metal
The metal objects that I collected were recorded by photos, including nails, hammers, coat hangers, iron railings, steel wire balls and so on.
These collected items are mainly used for protection and fixation.
Always give a person a kind of very solid metal and smooth feeling so metal objects are collected for more protection, metal bring security to the person, so the metal object is used to protect and defense, like metal knives and soldiers equipment metal armor are very classic representative, which is why the items metal objects are used for security. Cold tonal metal gives a person a kind of composed and sedate sense, if what collect is rusty thing so can give a person a kind of old feeling, this shows the metal of different state also can give a person different atmosphere

• Small
I ‘ve collected a lot of small things to take pictures of, like the root on the orange peel, the hard corn in the popcorn, the sawdust, the ants, and so on. They all have very small things in common. Though small in size, the little things I collected were many small things that could be combined into one whole thing. For example, the hair on a brush may be small but countless hairs of this size can make up a brush or every rebar in a huge building is a very important part. Small objects may be insignificant individually but no matter how small an object is, it can do its part. And there is never a qualitative standard for small, and the so-called “small” items I find can only be compared to my human volume. I may be a small object relative to the whole planet, but even a small one will have its meaning, won’t it?

Level 3 is a place where I learn a lot of things, like using a studio, making sketches, doing systematic research, using different materials to enrich my work, doing street interviews, and going to different places to learn about local culture. There are also different art exhibitions to improve their own aesthetics and so on. After entering college, both my ideas and my strength have improved a lot. The biggest developments I have made are probably my ability to perceive and plan things and writing skill.

When I first started the project, the teacher took us to the park and asked us to look around to collect the letters we wanted. Because I have never collected random material outside before, I am very confused about this. But the teacher saw me confused and encouraged me to feel everything around me. Everything can be made into material. The real material is not how great or special it is. So I began to learn to find what I wanted in different environments and to look carefully at every corner of what I wanted to investigate. A lot of times, even a small piece of paper or a different color of stone can appear in my sketchbook, which is something I never thought I would do before, and people like me who don’t collect material randomly. Doing these things is something I ‘ve never tried before.
Another improvement is to keep doing it continuously. This is a very important thing that I learned in planning my work.

In an ideal world there is always one more book you could read, or one more person you could interview .(Report Writing 2012) In postcode, I didn’t know what to do at first, because my future major is animation or film, but I didn’t know how to turn this postcode project into an animation or movie, so I asked the teacher. The teacher told me that I shouldn’t spend too much time in the early days thinking about what to do with the final product. The most important thing is to keep doing research. Only if you collect enough things will you always find what you want. So I spent a lot of time in the early stages doing enough research, and the which let me had enough options to go through the final product output, and I didn’t have to collect enough material for my last work to support it. This is a very important link for me.

I also learned a lot of writing skills like how to organize my reports. To be honest, I’m not a good organizer, so I’m often worried about being able to organize an article. So in the level 3 study, I learned how to find relevant books and materials in the library to correct this problem. With the help of the book, my writing has been improved.

In general, three levels really let me learn a lot of things, some of my previous did not do well because of three levels and continue to develop, I hope that in the future can learn more things through level3!
