Week 2
This week, my contract was approved and I have already lots of ideas for my projects. I finished choosing the other three poems -- Yearning, Guan Ju and i carry your heart with me. Then I found good translations for the Chinese poems I chose. Afterwards, I wrote the analyses for Bright Star, Guan Ju and Yearning. The analyses required some research about the authors and the history about the poems. Then, I started on my oil painting of Bright Star. This proved to be a very challenging task and I spent half the week doing it. After that, I uploaded the painting and started working on the ink-painting of Guan Ju. This was easier, so beside the painting, I wrote the poem on top of it for better effects. At this moment, I am still working on some ideas for the painting of Yearning.
