Reflection:

1. Respond

I really like the movement I put in this picture, it makes the picture a lot more dynamic than I expected. I think I represent the impression of energy pretty well in this piece, and I can strongly feel how this piece is connected to what I am currently experiencing in ECE. From my perspective, ECE is a blooming area in modern world, so its energy should include its vitality and the growing trend. Energy of ECE is disseminated by network and people's hand, that is why the energy grows out of  the net. Also,all the cool stuffs in science fiction which are related to ECE are actually created by seemingly boring things like code and circuit. That is why I put them as background. They are in the dark and not shiny but they are everywhere, which indicate how important they are. I enjoyed a lot by using concrete things to create abstract art.

2. Respond before

Before this semester, I had no idea how to appreciate abstract art, not to mention how to create them. When I looked at abstract art before, the only thing that I enjoyed the best was probably just the smart and beautiful colors abstract artists used. But now, I learned more about abstract art and felt more prepared and confident in making them. For me, abstract art is spontaneous and what I should do when creating it is to follow my impression, instinct, and emotion. I should not think too much about using a concrete thing to represent my idea. Just a kind of movement is enough(circular flowing movement in this piece). Furthermore, I can now get more information about the artist and most importantly, about myself from abstract art. What I get from an abstract art actually reflects what kind of person I am. Looking into an abstract art is like looking into my own mind.
