Visiting to The Tate Modern

This afternoon, I went to The Tate Modern with Roy and some schoolmates. Tate Modern is a huge art gallery which exhibit full of the modern art. The building of Tate Modern is very special, because it is changed from a power station. We can see a high chimney stand next to it. In my mind, art can not be understand clearly by most of the contemporary people. So we can understand the painting by Van Gogh or Da Vinci but we can not understand what Picasso or Salvador Dali want to express by their art. If we watch a movie and we know what it said, it is a film. But if we do not know what it said, it is art. For me, London is art which is beautiful but cannot be understand easily. Each traditional building in London is the a artwork and a story.

The Late Introduction

I do not know the deadline. So I did not send it to my blog as well as the teacher's email yesterday. This is my work: From TV, can you get the fact of who killed the president Kennedy? It is generally agreed that the things showed on TV is far from the reality. TV is business, so one of the main purposes is reaping profit. To chase this purpose the TV corporation must produce more attractive programme for the audiences. So the reality will be ignored when it is not suit for the taste of the audience. What is more, TV is politics, so TV will be effect by the government. Much content may be rejected by the reason of national security. At the same time, some unreal content may be played on the TV by the same reason, as the Star War Program in 1980’s. So this essay will give an overview of the lie on TV and the reason.

Conversation this afternoon

I took the conversation class this afternoon. There were only six students in this conversation, so it leave us more chance to talk. The topic is about the rules in school. So we talk about the regulations and the punishment in our school before we came to the Met. After that we watched a short video which shew a Indian girl insist her traditional custom and the school allowed her to wear a bangle in campus finally. I think that it is more about the religion tolerance.

New Words About Arts

Christie's is the biggest art auction agency around the world. I read it's website today and learn many new words about Arts. I choose some of them to put on today's blog. 1 Calligraphy [kəˈliɡrəfi] It is a kind of art which is to exhibit the beautiful form of words. 2 Ceramics [siˈræmiks] The skill to make pottery 3 Renaissance [riˈneisns] It is a period which is after the Middle Ages and it is a great time to produce so many great artists, such as Leonardo Da Vinci. In my point of view, the Christie's is a museum which changing its exhibition every week.

Visit The British Museum

This is my first blog in English. Mostly I write blog just for fun, but this time I should write something about studying. Yesterday I went to The British Museum which exhibits so many interesting collections. As soon as I entered the museum, I was shocked by the building. I was amazing that such a huge building with so many exquisite details. Ancient Egypt collection is one of the most famous part in The British Museum. Ancient Egypt is so mysterious to me that visiting such amount of collections from Egypt made me happy. This is my first time to see a real Mummy, a little bit fearful. London is a big city with a long history. In my mind , "HISTORY" means "his story", so listening the storys and learning the history are interesting things.
