Sometimes I feel like I don't understand art. When I went to an art gallery exhibition a couple of weeks ago, I saw a good size rock suspended in the air on a chain near some well-placed draped bed sheets. It was cool in some aesthetic sense, but what was it trying to say? But then I realized while making a collage for my 2-D Design class that I was driven by a whim that was a vague tangent of the true meaning I wanted to convey and just ran with it. However, many people took away from my piece that I had identity issues...when what I meant was to explain what home felt like to me. Not what I had expected, but I appreciated the diagnosis though.

| Our school hosted a reception for Nobel laureate Gao Xingjian's works in both painting and film. |
 |
| He's a Chinese Frenchman! |
 |
| His painting style is heavily influenced by traditional Chinese ink paintings, but his subject matter is completely different. |
 |
| My favorite of his paintings called "La Mort." |
 |
| Another awesome piece called "Danse." |
 |
| This is a piece by some other artist, who was also on display in another part of the gallery. |
 |
| Some design books that would look great on my coffee table...if I had one. |
 |
| This is self-explanatory. |
