Well Begun is Half Finished

Word Project

                                                                           Drawing

Week 1
I am not really good at designing things. This project required a lot of technical skill such as designing and cutting leathers. 　
I loved the term “Cooperative Learning.＂I think actually saying it to students would produce a positive effect.　　

Yep, little did I know that this class was going to be difficult for me.
I thought this class was going to be just another studio class.

Seoye (서예) 書藝

Drawing

Week 3 (09142010)
I felt a lot of pressure and was uncomfortable with the strict rules and limitations of the Tyvek project. We had few choices of using materials. We could use only text which I am not familiar with and only one drawing material. For that reason I had hard time to coming up with ideas like choosing words and/or letters though we had motivation time such as answering the questions.

 Seoye (서예) 書藝

The local name for calligraphy is Seoye (서예) 書藝 in Korea, literally "the skill/criterion of writing". The calligraphy of East Asian characters is an important and appreciated aspect of Asian culture. East Asian calligraphy is normally regarded as one of the "arts" (Chinese 藝術 pinyin: yìshù, Japanese 芸術 geijutsu) in the countries where it is practiced. But there is actually a debate as to whether East Asian calligraphy is a discipline or an art. Indeed, both may be true.

As an art in Asia, calligraphy is also considered an art － 艺术 Chinese: yìshù, a relatively recent word meaning "art", where works are appreciated more or only for their aesthetic qualities.

The English word "Calligraphy" refers to that which is "beautiful writing", thus including both aspects.
