Besides the regular drawing and paintings that I did in Studio Art class, I started experimenting with digital drawing. This piece is done with Corel Painter and Photoshop. I like digital drawing because it helps accomplish the effects of painting, but less messy than painting.

This is an art gallery model that I built in the summer Architecture program at Columbia University. The professors took our class to Roosevelt Island to choose a site for our final project. My site has the view of Manhattan on one side, and Queens on another. My first draft of this art gallery was almost symmetrical, with the idea that the windows not only allow visitors to see the art work from outside, but also allow the views to see the Manhattan skyline from the inside. At our first group critique, the professor suggested that I could expand my window idea, and make different uses of the windows. I put some thought into this, and decided to design a two-floor window that allows a better view of the Manhattan skyline. On the opposite side, there is a small window that focuses the view on the Queensboro Bridge, which was the only significant landscape on the side facing Queens. The windows on the other side serve as display windows. At our final group critique, we not only got feedbacks from our professors, but also had some architects as guests. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.
This was a AP Human Geography research assignment on natural hazards, which required us to research on a catastrophe, and write a narrative to give information on the event. My story was about a boy who lost his grandparents, his friends, and his teacher in the 2008 SiChuan Earthquake. It was my first time writing a 6-page narrative paper, and using Chicago style citation. I got 100% on the written part of this project, but made some mistakes in citation, which brought me down to a 96%.
