Jingquan's Art

                      GarageBand is very strange to me. Although I knew such a self created Music software a long time ago, it just plays the piano and drums without in-depth research.                      This video about soundscape, I want to express Appleton's soundscape in autumn. Appleton's autumn is empty and bleak. It's windy here. On the street, I saw cars driving over the asphalt ground, bringing up dead leaves on the roadside. The dead leaves fluttered against the ground and made a brushing sound. I always hear birds singing in all directions in the morning or evening.

Some even has strong personal perspective, and the bad thing is one people can be none bias when expressing their social values. If we only observe information provide by others but not thinking. We will lose our own point of view. So, it is important to keep awake, thinking if the information is propaganda or not.             For my work, I took about 500 photos. Then I found my topic: the natural and humanistic art embellishment of my life. I formed my own point of view after obervating on campus, along the street in downtown, in the woods by the river, and in the community nearby.
