Before I took my first design class at the university, I thought that art and design are the tools and methods to solve the problems in our daily life. (For example, people have struggled with low-speed transportation, so they designed and invented the airline, subway, and high-speed train.) Nevertheless, after I took D100 and D101, I learned that they are not only problem solvers but also a way to express ideas, thoughts, and feelings. When I saw this quote on the ground, it recalls and connects with the knowledge I have learned from the previous class, and it makes me feel that I have a deeper comprehension of ‘art.’

Based on the class I have learned, there are countless art style around the world, and more and more art forms are created and spread. People create different art because they have different traditions, backgrounds, social status, economic situations, and all the other factories. In other words, we can ‘read’ a person by understanding he/she’s artworks since the art can directly show the idea from a person. For instance, I am a student, and I am interested in animation making and creating, so most of my artworks (drawing, painting, etc.) are related to animation, and my style is animated. As time goes by, I can understand myself deeper by looking back on my former artworks, which is a good reflection of this quote.
