ziyao geng WAYS OF SEEING/ TALKING PATTERNS
This week I had the task called ‘ way of seeing and talking pattern’. It let me to create drawings that in different views or details as well as combine with the first task pattern to get new patterns. For this, I drew with leaves, woods, boiled water and also did 3D work.
From this lesson, I was delight that I learned how to get new patterns. This was a good way to develop projects, like when the two patterns were combined, unexpected results would be obtained. At the same time, I also learned to observe a thing in different ways. In this process, I felt it quite reliable. However, I thought I need to break through the way of painting when observed the details of things then transformed into patterns.
For the future development, I will observe the things in more detail, and observe things more broadly. In addition, for this lesson, I will do more exercises on pattern combination also use different methods as well as colors.

I really like the variety within your work, especially in the materials and processes you have used, such as drawing on the cardboard. I like your uses of collage for the textures you create, as well as the abstract forms that have appeared. You have a really good eye for bringing certain aspects of your work forward and I really like that there is such a clear development throughout your projects, especially in talking pattern. You have such a unique drawing style which I can see you have paired well with the media you have been using- the way you draw lends itself so much to the pastels. I like the way you were able to focus on detailed aspects of your subjects and bring them forward while still maintaining a clear indication of what the subject is, such as with the mushrooms. I think you could develop the projects by adding more variety in subject- you focused lots on organic structures but maybe you could introduce some contrast by adding in more harsh lines or urban environments. I think broadening the subject would just add an extra layer to the projects. Overall, I think you have an extremely varied and interesting collection of work, with a lot of brilliant colours and lines.
