《Ballet Dancers》 is the Degas works. The layout of the painting appear to be casual, but the. Some dancing, we can only see their legs, while others see only their body. Only one person can completely see that the complexity of her position is hard to tell. We see her from above her head forward low-down, left hand grasping the letter ankle, a deliberately relaxed look. Degas paintings, there is no story. The reason why he was interested in ballerina, not because they are beautiful girls. He does not seem to care about their mood, he impressed those who observe the surrounding landscape to identify the main kind of cold and objective attitude to observe them. His was concerned that the body shape on the interaction between light and dark is that he can be used to show movement or space. He hopes to draw a sense of space, drawn from the most unexpected point of view three-dimensional shape of the impression, so he likes to play selected from the ballet theme, rather than from the outdoor scenes in the selected theme. Watch rehearsals, Degas have a chance to see the richest in all aspects of change in body posture. above, looking down from the stage, he could see young girls dancing or rest, but also to the shortening of complex and stage lighting in the human body modeling results. According to the picture of the dancers are rehearsing we can imagine them dancing on the stage gesture, and dance produced by the space transformation, body language expression, light changing relationship.

Spin space


This Model I have made is representing the performance scene on a TV, as an audience’s point of view. Dancers can be seen as those white spheres. When the dancers spin, their surrounding environment changes, rhythm changes, lighting changes, the story changes, thus, the audience feel the whole space is flowing.

MODEL

Ballet dancers performing

MODEL


If the dancers movements can be seen as similar as the motion of smoke, the dancers are also can be depicted as thousands of spheres.

Friction effect of the environment


Dancers and smokes are affecting by their spin and rotation.

Space Action


No single molecule could retain a large amount of energy for any length of time as it would suffer too many collisions. They must make themselves to become a particular form, shape or pattern to be suitable within the surrounding environment. Therefore, there is a closely relationship between the moving objects and the flowing space.

The shadow change the environment


Not only the objects themselves also the shadows, are changing.

Changes in light and dancers


For example, Movements are affecting by lighting.

《Ballet Dancers》


Degas is often identified as an Impressionist, an understandable but insufficient description. Impressionism originated in the 1860s and 1870s and grew, in part, from the realism of such painters as Courbet and Corot. The Impressionists painted the realities of the world around them using bright, "dazzling" colors, concentrating primarily on the effects of light, and hoping to infuse their scenes with immediacy.
Technically, Degas differs from the Impressionists in that he "never adopted the Impressionist color fleck", and he continually belittled their practice of painting en plein air. "He was often as anti-impressionist as the critics who reviewed the shows", according to art historian Carol Armstrong; as Degas himself explained, "no art was ever less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and of the study of the great masters; of inspiration, spontaneity, temperament, I know nothing." Nonetheless, he is described more accurately as an Impressionist than as a member of any other movement. His scenes of Parisian life, his off-center compositions, his experiments with color and form, and his friendship with several key Impressionist artists—most notably Mary Cassatt and Edouard Manet—all relate him intimately to the Impressionist movement.

《Ballet Dancers》


Edgar Degas is famous as a painter of ballet dancers, and the theme of the dance class or rehearsal was one of the preoccupations of his later career.This study relates to several other drawings and paintings by Degas, including the 'Ballet Class' in the Bührle Collection, Zurich. The pose of the foreground dancer adjusting her slipper is repeated in numerous paintings and a sculpture. The use of a coarse canvas and the sketchy nature of the painting are typical of Degas's later work.

the process of smok into the street spreading

I first observed the smokes in a sealed room.


In physics, Brownia Motion named after a Scottish botanist, reveals the smoke particles as tiny bright stars against a dark background. Kinetic theory of gases says that molecules are hard, perfect elastic little spheres, much like steel ball-bearing. These molecules are moving around rapidly and chaotically.

people smoking in the Lavender Hill and Air Street


My work in the first term was focusing on the relationship between the motion of smoke and the changes of surrounding space, through inhale and exhale smoke by human bodies. The research was mainly based on two locations, which are Lavender Hill and Air Street. I can see many things are flowing in these two locations, clouds, lights, shadows, people, cars etc. when everything is moving, their relationships with each other are changing, as well as the relationships with the space and the whole world are different, even some tiny smokes.

blocks by the flow


According to AIR STREET, and LAVENDER HILL two common characteristics of the street design . I have find two blocks a common feature of the flow. From the inspiration for the design of both blocks. Architectural lines flow to create space for conversion. From the conversion process lines and spaces have different facades body and plane body. Face of the changes in the environment, role and development patterns to study. When the surface structure of the building line is generated from the development of surface features and changes to design. Surface generation process of transformation between surface and space, surface and optical effects, surface contact with the natural environment.

Franz kafka


I read a novel name 《passenger》before by Franz kafka,It's about thinking of the whole world. The writer want to find a place in the world but he feel helplessness and not sure where he can survive.By the time he meet a girl on the tram and from her outlook and her clothing she look like someone similar he meet before but he can't remember about it.
