Task 2

Sushi is a kind of food I love to eat a lot . I had  looked into the details of the raw salmon , tuna  and different sushi rolls what I get inspiration was the colour combination eg. There are sushi roll filling with  cucumber and crab meat , avocado with salmon . The warm colour saturation and the pattern I observed in order to create print. Also, the shapes and textures of sushi gave me ideas . Besides, I have did some research on the history of sushi. Sushi traces its origins back to 1820s, the creator of nigiri sushi . The process of using fermented rice as a fish preservation in order to slow down the bacterial growth of fish. People added salt and acid. However, by the time changes , sushi rolls , poke-bowls , etc., bring along until 20 century . The mix and match that we can create by our own. Last but not least, making sushi roll gives me a feeling of home, joyfulness and warmth . Because when I ate a sushi roll or sushi which were made by our hands , the warmth of the rice and your hands to make it in shape reminds me of home .

Task 1

Chinatown reminds me of my hometown — HongKong , especially the colourful lanterns and the entrance of Chinatown.

The traditional iconic architecture and the experience in eating one of the restaurant that I eat spicy fish fillets the fried pork with chilli that I felt the warmth and the spiciness bring me through because I like spicy food. Besides, I get most of my inspirations from the lanterns and entrance because the lanterns remind me of the mid-autumn festival. Having mooncakes and dinner with my family members gather together to share the happiness and warmth.

Also, the difference between my home town and UK is the weather. Since the weather of London is totally different ,the changes and shapes of the leaves turning into yellow brownish colour. What I capture on the street which is really eye-catching because it is hard to see it in Hong Kong. Therefore, I did some drawings in different colour I saw and what I feel to express it with colours and texture. And try different mix media.
