My practice has changed a lot from the first year to the second year, it becomes more experimental and more dynamic. My practice at the beginning of the second years was more painting oriented, and tend to finding out the life I have experienced, from my life style and my student life. The painting style still derived from my graphic design language, typography layout with graphic elements. The later painting begin to become more experimental in term of typography, inspired by the Ed Fella and other artists. My painting are not sophisticated by any means compare to the students in the painting department, but I treat it more like a tool for me to further explore the graphic design itself.
Things I Learned in Art School
When everybody take right turn, turn left, even the right is direction
Left is the way to go
Talk more, talk is more important than making stuffs
Talking about the feminism is always right
Talking gender equality is always right
Criticize capitalism is always right
Say fu*k to Trump is always right
Always asking
Always questioning
Never care about the solution
Search the individuality, ditch the popularity
Yelling is the power
Always offer help, verbally
Going crazy is not your fault
Never satisfied with the environment
Finding the negativity around you
Be as happy as you can, cause you probably won't after graduate
Political correctness doesn't exist in art school
Be noisy as possible as you can
Never evolution, but revolution
Do the opposite, always
Abnormal is very normal, abnormal is goodness
Business is evil
