Play&Body
Theme:For this week's theme, the body, all I could think of was to look at all the parts and organs of my body, and then I found that the most aesthetically pleasing part was actually the bones under the skin and fat, so I chose to use the bones as a medium to combine with the creatures in nature to create a deconstructed diagram with a special meaning. On the bones of each part, I put plants and insects with similar meaning and shape, which makes the deconstruction diagram more meaningful.
Context:About this assignment, I have been thinking about what kind of creative ideas I can have for the organs of each part of the human body, so I thought about every human organ and every part from the inside to the outside, from the head to the palm of the hand from the palm of the hand to the foot. When it turned out that neither the representation nor the flesh had any point that interested me, I saw a small bird specimen in the dining room and I suddenly thought of the bones. In the human back there is a bone called the butterfly bone, in fact, he is a human scapula, because it grows in the back of the person as if people will grow wings, and the shape is similar to a butterfly, so people also call it the butterfly bone. Many people think that the butterfly bone is one of the qualities of beauty, but in fact it is a winged scapula, sick scapula will be like this. This reminds me of the saying that it takes a sickly shell to breed a perfect pearl. So I chose to express this idea by combining the stunningly beautiful and hopeful flowers and butterflies on the bones of despair and death.

MAGI Post:
Method:Find an anatomical drawing of a skeleton and draw butterflies and flowers by imagining the shape of each part of the skeleton through PS.
Reflection:This week, I chose to use painting to express this theme, because there is so little room for me to imagine physical interaction, and most physical interaction requires very high-tech components to connect, such as VR. In addition to watching his food antelope in walking and lions are completely different, it is because their body structure is different, so nature based on the different body shape and different muscles and body of each species. They are wonderful in themselves, and I watched a video a long time ago about how the bones move during cooking, writing and walking, and how the bones drive the muscles to complete, and these movements you want to do are very inspiring to me, so I think the soul of the body lies in the bones, and the bones are the most important part of the body, so I chose to extend this work from the bones. Every bone in the human body is grown where it should be, and the size and shape they should have. So I chose to cut them out of the anatomy and give them new life decorations using positions and insects, and they explain their significance to the human body. It is an amazing discovery that the female pelvis is the place where life is nurtured and that the shape of the pelvis resembles that of a butterfly, a hopeful species. The human spine supports all human life activities, and in Japan the cherry blossom also represents life, and the cherry blossom has a knotted branch, so I chose the cherry blossom as the union of the spine, and as the commander of all human activities, the brain, still grows beautiful and moving roses after the death of a person. As for the ribs and nuts, they are among the more fragile bones in the human body, but when they are combined together, they protect 80% of the important human organs in the human body, such as the heart lungs liver, etc., just like the fragile and beautiful butterfly is an integral part of nature. This is how I analyzed and imagined each piece of the skeleton, this week's Play and body. in this week's assignment, I realized that it is very interesting and meaningful to find objects that have the same meaning and put them together, they have the same imagery or inherent impression given by human civilization. When you combine them together, they create different sparks and even wonderful images. It's amazing to me that just in terms of what humans give meaning to, there is no unique thing, there are always objects that appear with similarities to him, and that's probably where art comes from, giving different meanings to otherwise mundane things.
