Enjoy western food

We ate an international meal in a small restaurant in 28th December. The restaurant located near Hu bei road. I went with my group. There were five my classmates and 3 grade 12 students went with me. We discussed about which restaurants we shall go. The grade 12 students advised us to a restaurant called “my place”. They told us there have traditional food. We could eat real western foods. They also told that we can feel the atmosphere from western country. So we decided to go to “my place”. First I get into “my place”. I don’t think it is a restaurant. It just has 4 small rooms for eating. It just likes a home. “My place”is a villa not a restaurant. I first think it would be a big restaurant and there are many people in it. In fact, like the name “my place”. The restaurant gives us a feeling of home, gives us a harmony feeling. We sat in a long desk. A narrow and long desk. We sat opposite. We have a good time eating and enjoying the western culture. We talked with each other about some western culture. After the meal, I think western food is further difference from Chinese. We only use forks and knives. The salad is quite good. It mixed with vinegar. The taste is really special. I like the special taste.
We all enjoyed the meal but the price of this meal is quite high.

Go to an exhibition with Ms. Hadley's class

We go to an exhibition called"Wu Wei shan cultural figures sculpture gallery of Nanjing museum". Most of these artwork are made by one artist Wu Wei Shan. All artwork are both traditionl and contemporary. The sculpture made by artist have many themes. It's a combine of traditional and contemporary. Some artworks made about famous person in the history. Some are modern artworks. The name of my favorite artwork called “Lao Zi get out of the strategic pass” The artwork was made in 2006. The artist used the shapes of a philosopher riding a black ox. Because it is a sculpture, the color will not be very colorful. It is only black with a little green. It is the color of bronze. The texture of the whole sculpture looks like the shapes of gully. It gives me a feeling of harmony. The artwork makes me feel very sanguine, also it make me think fondly of the Chinese culture. The artwork’s subject is about the theory that man is an integral part of nature. Like the shapes of ravince. Artist want the philosopher fit for the nature.The artwork makes me think about Chinese culture and literature. I think of a short history thousands years ago that is very prosperous about culture before Qin dynasty. It was split into many small countries. And many famous philosophers lived in this time. It was very wonderful for people’s thought and education. A famous man called Confucius was living In that time. The art work also has a history of Lao Zi. He wanted to go out to the western regions. And he couldn’t come back anymore. He believed in Taoism. He advocated that letting is to make the visitor recall the mysterious experience of Taoism. I like this artwork because this artwork because this artwork embodies Chinese culture. This artwork reminds me of the long-standing history of culture. The technique of this artwork attracts me because the textures are like shapes of gully. The artwork is an old style. It expresses a famous man. It is about the history, about the Chinese culture. The artwork creates a new style to show his idea. I am attracted from this creative style. I think other people might appreciate the artwork because they all really like history of old culture and the process of literature. There are also some very attractive artworks in the exhibition.
We enjoy the exhibition and know more from art..

GUEST ARTIST

We had a meeting with MR. Zhao this Monday in the lecture hall. Mr. Zhao is a very famous professor of Forestry University. He talked us about designing features of Chinese Ancient Parks.
It is a very interesting project. We all listened carefully during his speech. We also did some notes of entry level knowledge. He told us some characteristics about several famous manors. They all have different ideas. Mr. Zhao also taught us that some tips make the manor more peaceful and graceful. Different pattern can make guests feel some different feeling of this manor. He said some talented designer can make rockery like a real hill. Although it made by human, it look like the real in the nature. The design of parks is a very difficult. And the main types of Chinese Garden are royal garden, private garden, temple and resort place. The best garden of these is royal garden. It is very lordly. Mr. Zhao also told us that the first garden style appeared in china is center. The fist style appeared in western country is called：“sacred grave”.
And famous interests called pyramid. Mr. Zhao explained the Art Features of Classical Gardens in Suzhou. Cite an example, he told us a very famous Suzhou garden. The characteristic of this garden is that we can see the rockery at the beginning of the garden. The buildings are hiding behind the rockery. It makes people a feeling that make buildings look more clearly. So the rockery is more important. My own idea is that garden art very meaningful for us to learn about it. We can learn some about our history and culture. It is also a
Visual art for anybody to look at. Make you look very strange but very realistic.
This is our guest artists.
