Sarah's portfolio: 一月 2009

On December 18th in 2008, our class went to an Italian restaurant with Grade 12. The restaurant called Jack’s Place, in Palace Street, No. 35. We ordered different Italian traditional food, include pizza, Pasta, Cream Mushroom Soup, Vegetable salad, and so on. On that day, my classmates and I were attended at 18:30. We chose a big long table to sit, and the candles were burned. We choose this restaurant Italian food is delicious and we want to be affected by Italian culture, also, it is not very expensive

Some reaction about the food:

I really like Pizza, because I like the cheese and the Sausage on the Pizza. Also, I like the mashed potatoes, especially liked the taste of salt, it tastes very nice.
However, I don’t like Cream Mushroom Soup, because it tastes very greasy, and I don’t like the mushroom.
I think Italian food is very different from Chinese food. There are very little vegetable, almost food cooked by flour and beef. However, in Chinese food, people usually eat rice, vegetables and pork.
The environment restaurant is very realistic, but there was no other people in the restaurant. The service was very thoughtful, the waitresses asked what we need first, then they will tell us what food suitable for us. I will recommend other people to eat there.

MY FAVOURITE ARTWORK:

The artwork on this picture is my favorite one. The man on this picture is called: LU XUN. He is China's modern great proletarian writers, thinkers and revolutionaries. He is known as “China’s vertebra”. The artist used a pack of clay to mould the statue. When I saw this artwork, I was shocked, and felt that there is a force burst out. The artwork makes me feel power and reminds of me the period that China suffered bullying. However, Lu Xun used his pen told Chinese people encouraged. The artwork has strong three-demnsional effects, lines are very obvious, and the colour is brown. Also, the artwork gets me think about Lu Xun’s productions.
The artist wanted to show a epoch’s soul with the artwork.

INTERPRET THE ARTWORK:

This artwork is very different from others. The artist used knife and ax to cut clay to carve. The artist uses this method of carving to shows Lu Xun's indomitable spirit. This distinct edges and corners statue makes me feel the history of heavy.

JUDGE THE ARTWORK:
I like this artwork very much, because this artwork makes me remember a great Chinese human. I think we should remember this person who help China to stand up.
