Mann and censorship

1 At first time I think the pictures of completely naked is incredible cuase no one photographer like Mann dared do that without fear from the public. Whatever the negative comments, the defination of sensual and celebratory are one of the charactor we should have had. Mann made a warn to make the people sense of the happiness and freedom in the childhood.Without any decorated elements,the black and white picture show us clearly about the essence of our mind. We should relax during the childhood rather than make everything under pressure. There ie no necessary to avoid the happen for sensual and innocent and so on. Actually we have these mood and feelins in mind just cannot express straightly. So Mann break throgh the taboos.

2 I think art is a revelation of social temper,which reveals the general state of mind of the majority. Artists improve people's sensitivity to beauty and help enlarge men's capacity for feelings,thought,and imaginations.I think Mann just really have been pursuiting the pure art from her life. What she has done was just for fun.

3 The pictures from her should not be censored as the basic for pursuiting art. We can think about deeply why Mann prefer to using the old fashioned camera instead of the digital camera in morden society. It is the truth that we are becoming more and more hypocricy for decorating our shape outside. We should preserve and carry forward the trodtional arts just like the black and white photoes. Artist bring pleasure and spiritual food to us.Although the troditional arts may not creat commercial benefits, they can enrich our spiritual life and civilize our society. They have rights to keep their style in the world. They have rights to show some different idea digesting from their special view.

summary in music part

About our presentation----from the music part

I am really appreciate to talk about my presentation. It was complished by Mia, Natalia and I and was full of our perspiration. One of the most meaningful things is the idea what we decided. It was composed of three different elements which came from our own idea, making our points possible to be "the prayer dream freedom". I really like this main idea as soon as I made a link by using the three words. It can be described as a story happening among our life.

We had the difficulties in explaining the lyrics because our imitation was pappered with something of religion which so far we have not been making sense. With the undeveloped minds, only the structure and the rythm for the end of words can we take control. As for the contents, what we've learned was the semiconcious state in the original song; moreover, we didn't have adequate ability to build a perfect and ideal idea for the contents.

Luckily, we made a teamwork for building the lyrics and making the end of words more beautifully. When we finished the lyrics, the smile was apparently in our face. In my view, the rythm of the word is the easiest thing in our group. We talked about them using our imagination. Consequently, we made the lyrics sounds more activity and beautifully.

I had had full confidence with my patners before we took the presentation. Indeed we organized it well and we did our part with responsability. Mia was charge for the part one which was the comments for Madonna. Subsequently,I played the video for everyone and explained the imitation from the original song. Natalia hold the comments for MLK in part three. Actually we learned something new from others groups,especially the group from James who made some question in their presentation and gavemore space for everyone to consider. We imitated their style for our own. I really appreciated them.

Thoughts can be shared, but our problems seemed to be more difficulit for everyone. I knew the reason after our presentation. For the lack of specific explaination, we couldn't make our main idea clearly. We should do some changes for the contents.


All in all, we have gained more benefits from the music unit. Generally promote everyone's enjoyment and understanding of music and presentation by means of the collection and by such other means as they consider appopriate.


About the next unit ----Art

Last week we learned the next part in seminar.It related the artist to the art itself. One of a question I really want to ask is "how does the people understanding the art ".It is imperative that our national rich and diiverse heritage in the arts and culture be preserved, enhanced, and publicly supported if we are to see the continuation of a trodition that has inspired people living and working here. It can become a sensative question as I think.

Nowadays,we have mentioned a lot of topic about music.I want to make some fresh and tell you some interesting things in China.One of my favorite to tell you is relating to the gift.
There are many times people send gifts in China. For example,when people go to a birthday party; visit a patient ;visit friends’ home; invited to festive greetings,invited to be a guest and so on.
I have received and gave many gifts in my life,such as books ,clothes,flowers ,computer and even a piece of music can be regarded as o gift. From my parents,I get many wishes,care and economic help.From my friends,I get friendship and trust .From teachers ,I get ways of learning.
I think there are so many gifts popular in China , for example,health products for olds , cultural or culture-related products, wine or liquor, pre-packed gift boxes;fruits; local products; clothes and so on .People would likevchoose gifts which have a special meaning or buy something that their friends or relatives actually need.
I sent out a big wedding photo made by corss needlework to my best friend. It took me 2 months to make it. When they received it, they liked it very much It's a hassle for a lot of people who are invited to those wedding receptions. The problem lies in not just the pocket, but also what to buy. It is very hard to buy a creative and suitable gift to newly-weds. So, DIY is a good idea.
