funny- little- finger- bodies.

Many of us have played this: drawing on the fingers. But the very interesting part of this series of pictures is the combination with the background. I really like this idea.

First, it is a smart way to extend spaces for a design, and even recreates the shapes and forms. In the pictures, the arms and hands of those little bodies are drawn on the background paper, which have perfectly connected to the actual objects. It is a great applying which I want to keep in mind when I design. In fact, more then 90% of time, we separate an object and the background in a work. But art works are unnecessary to be in this way. This design has taught me to try something new, and not too boring.

Secondly, this is a good example that reflects the reading “the Etymology of Design” by Kostas Terzidis. I think the analyzing of design and creation about novelty in here is interpreted very well. Basically, the finger is a frequent design that appears in a lot of places. In this piece, it is the "origin" of the design. Then the creative part is the drawing on the background added to the finger bodies. I unscramble that is kind of novelty which is based on an existing, original design.

In conclusion, I think design is a fixable job. A design can be an base, and also could be an addition to an origin. It is hard to define it philosophically; in comparison, artists can always have their own definition of design.

我认为这一组图片真的很有意思，它吸引人的地方，完全在于创意，利用了物件本身和背景的结合。这样有趣的想法，是一个很好的应用，利用好玩的设计，逗笑了观赏者。

DES01是我来到UC DAVIS上的第一堂课，它并不像以往我所上过的课那样靠近STUDIO ART的范围，而是用概念的形式，让我思考，到底什么才是DESIGN, 设计的创意？设计的概念？设计的应用？…etc. 这也是我自己，第一次，花这么多时间，去想，去思考，深层的东西，关于我的科目。

第一个星期结束了，3堂课的学习经验，是我慢慢了解到了，DESIGN是一个很大很大的题目，是我以前并没有认识到的一个程度。这样的概念，是我觉得刺激，好奇，想更深入的了解，我们的思维，创意，设计到底能给我们自己以及这个世界带来什么样的改变。同时，也让我感受到压力，其实DESIGN是一个很严肃，很需要责任的功课，是一个严禁，认真的态度。

作为一个设计人，我还需要去做很多的功课，DEEPLY，探索，学习，研究，体验，经验。DESIGN不仅仅是艺术，它还是一门学问，是魔法，是改变。
