i enjoyed a whole package of art today, which has been EXCELLENT!
we had an artist do some painting in the morning. i know nothing about painting, and the fact that he never used the color black strike me. he said that black practically kills all the other colors, and it makes a painting dull and muddy. i would take his way of painting as an optimistic attitude of life as well. you can actually choose other colors to substitute blackness because you are the one who paints your own work. i like that!

the biggest lesson i have learned in the acting introduction class was that, according to what the teacher said, introverted people can also be great actors. sometimes loud people are too busy speaking about themselves to observe what other people do, and introverted people tend to be more observant.acting is more than performing, it is also about accumulating the expressions and emotions of others. in other words, inputs are crucial before you do the outputting work. i would definitely try out some acting if i have chance, doing different role plays in life would be fun!

the jazz lecture at night was GREAT! i am a complete outsider of jazz, but the sound and rhythm really touched my skin besides my ear drums. as the teacher put it: jazz is something that comes out of the blue. for me, it was also a great pun. i will definitely pay more attention to this kind of music. besides pop, there are really alternatives out there, just don't let the radio djs take all the charge of what goes into your ears!

i had a great fun today. i have always been a big admirer of art although i know very little about it. i believe that there is an element of art in everything , be it business, politics,cooking or simply speaking. and that means, everyone can be an artist of some kind by using his heart as well as brain and sticking to the pursuit of mastery. some day, i believe i can be an artist too.
