SCULPTURE
When I visit the museum, I paid attention to sculptures from different contries. I think the Egyptian are highly symbolic, which is really different from the Greek. Greek is realistic, even we can see the wrinkles in clothes, skin wrinkles and blood vessels.
Chinese sculpture may more focus on the color expression. Compared to other countries, it is the most colorful.
From the history explaination, I learnt that the ancient India artisan had been influenced by Greek technics. So there were many details similar to Greek sculpture, like the wrinkle of clothes, the curls hair.

JEWELRY
It is interesting that ancient Greek seal is like the ring and amazing that the ancient made these exquisite objects by hand. It looks like what we design makers can do. I really like the idea that use ceramics to make a necklace. It was rarely done these days. For Chinese metal artworks, they would heat it to make it blue. I cannot understand how they can control these blue area.
CERAMICS
In the ancient time, they use the some embodiment of natural things to make ceramics, like the animal, human beings. Even if the god statues, it originates from the human. Maybe I can also add this factor in my works. The more earlier works have less color, maybe the difference between Western and Eastern world. The Chinese ceramics’ colors are more bright and diverse. I like the bright color more.
