Robert Doisneau


Robert Doisneau (April, 14, 1912-April, 1, 1994) was a French photographer noted for his frank and often humorous depictions of Parisian street life.

He liked strolling in the Paris suburb street, with photographs his picture when he goes.

His most famous photograph is "kisses by hotel de ville".

Doisneau liked practicing the photography by the intuition, but is not by the science.

And the Robert Doisneau photograph is perhaps enchanting, is precisely because likes love movie moving.

Bauhaus umbrella

The new project, a Bauhaus umbrella
Design a Bauhaus brolly made from poly (colloquial terms for an umbrella)

『 Umbrella history』
Basic umbrella was invented over 4000 years ago.
Chinese waxed and lacquered their paper parasok.
The word ‘umbrella” = latin word for shade and shadow.
James Smith and Sons 1830, England.



The process for the Bauhaus umbrella
Before I design the Bauhaus umbrella, I need to learn the Bauhaus.
After that, I learn to use the poly and do some practices.
This is my practice.
There are four different kinds of shapes.
First layer, I only use the beans, such as red bean, green bean, corn, black bean, to combine with poly.
Second layer, I add two colors, white and yellow, into poly.
Third layer, I put some dry flowers and a little white color to mix.

opera+bus stop+sport star




The first step is to research the pictures of bus stop, bus station, bus, and to go outside to photograph those kinds of photos.




The second step is to choose an opera.
And then, find some information, posters, and pictures of it.
My opera is Madama Butterfly.




The third step is to choose some sport stars to replace the players of that opera. My sport stars are Nakata, who is a soccer player, and Maria Sharapova, who is a tennis player.




The final step is to combine the opera, bus stop, and sport stars by the photoshop.
