Summary
The
revolution of technology has deeply affected human’s lifestyle. People believed
that life would change better while the technology developed drastically. According
to my research, technology brought both positive and negative impacts to us. However,
the concerns that it brought to us might influence our life badly.
Based on
an investigation, revolution of technology made people became more and more
lazy. For example, students could copy and paste their assignment from web
easily. Their writing skills declined and their brain was kept in a rest mode.
Moreover, they were lack of ability to communicate with others. It happened
because people replied phone and mass media to communicate with family and friends.
They also addicted in playing video game and watching to t programs.
Moreover,
the development of technology brought up the invention of technology weapons,
such as nuclear bomb and cannon car. Those weapons have increased the war’s
damage. According to research, a thermonuclear weapon weighing less than 1,100
kg but it could produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more
than 1.1 million tonnes of TNT. The damage power of nuclear weapon was huge.
Besides
that, logging machinery came out after the development of technology. The
invention of logging machinery increased the speed of deforestation. In the
past, people used axe to cut down a tree. Nowadays, people used machinery to
cut off the forest, and it save a lot of time. Thus, the amount of forest in
Malaysia has decreased rapidly in these few years.
Lastly,
the numbers of factories increased during the growing period of technology. Those
factories which lack of responsibility would always release toxin and rubbish to
river. They also released those poisonous gases to the air. It might cause a
serious environment pollution and health issue. People had a high risk in suffering
lung cancer if inhaled too much toxic air.

Final Artwork
Artist Statement
The monster is created by heavy smoke. It was hard to see if the smoke did not enough thick. If the negative impacts to human did not serious enough, people would never concern to it. The whole picture was dark because it might bring the sadness and hopeless feeling to people. Although there was a sun, the sky was still dark because the heavy smoke has covered the whole sky.
The fire behind the cannon car referred to war. The war was occurring because the fire is burned heavily. The technology weapons killed a lot of human. On the other hand, I have blanked the mind of the human because technology has removed people brain. People usually relied on technology and did not have to think.
Moreover, the factory with radiation symbol is releasing toxic gases to the air. The factory caused a lot of toxin and the toxin always went into river. The development of technology also sped up the issue of deforestation. It has influenced our environment seriously.

National Art Gallery
A trip to Nation Art Gallery ~~~
I travelled there by LRT and bus with some of my course mates. After gathering at the main door for awhile, we went into the National Art Gallery to visit and choose some paintings to do our "tasks".
The first painting which attracted my attention was an oil
paint on canvas. It completed in 1983. Its theme was Mindscape and it considered
as private collection.
First of all, I saw the middle of the painting was an
oval dark red door. It was around by dark blue with cracks. I could imagine that
I was standing in and ice cave and looking forward from it.
The temperature outside
of the cave was extremely hot maybe there were more than a sun. I did not know
how much height of the ice cave from the ground too. I was not willing to walk
out from the cave because there might be a huge obstacle in front of me.
The whole
painting showed with dark colour and it brought me a strong feeling of
hopeless.
Secondly, a painting with named with “Mengaji Koran” has impelled
me successfully. This painting was an oil paint on Masonite board. It completed
in 1959. An old lady was doing revision with her two kids in a house.
The whole
painting was dark and I could see there was a candle on the floor. It could
show that the family was poor and they were using light of candle to do
revision. When I saw this painting, I was ashamed because they were hard
working than me even though their environment was worse than me.
Moreover, this
painting showed “mother’s love” to children. I could see the mother face was
friendly and she taught her children patiently. I love this painting very much.
Art movement
Pop Art
In the late 1950’s, the term of Pop Art was coined by Lawrence Alloway. Pop Art was marked with popular culture which reflected the affluence in post-war society. At first, it was prominent in American art and soon spread to Britain. British Pop art was associated with the Independent Group which included artists Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi. Richard Hamilton is one of the best known Pop artists.
In celebrating everyday objects such as soup cans, comic strips and soda pop bottles, the movement turned the commonplace into icons. Then, Pop Art reached its peak in the 1960’s.
Pop Art mocks the established art world by using images from the street, the supermarket, and presents it as art in itself. Pop art paintings don't use the traditional techniques of perspective to create an illusion of reality and location in the painting.
By including commercial techniques, and creating slick, the Pop artists were setting themselves apart from the painterly, inward-looking tendencies of the Abstract Expressionist movement that immediately preceded them.

Andy Warho was the one who really brought Pop Art to the public eye. His screen prints of Coke bottles, Campbell’s soup tins and film stars are part of the iconography of the 20th century.
Op Art (Optical Art)
Op Art is a form of abstract art and is closely connected to the Kinetic and Constructivist Art movements. It used to describe paintings or sculptures which seem to swell and vibrate through their use of optical effects.
Normally, it exists to fool the public’s eyes by creating a sort of visual tension, in the viewer's mind, that gives works the illusion of movement. Op Art which included of illusion will often appears to the human eye - to be moving or breathing due to its precise, mathematically-based composition.
The movement’s leading figures were Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely who used patterns and colours in their paintings to achieve a disorientating effect on the viewer.
It was fashionable in the United States and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s but was greeted with a certain degree of scepticism by the critics.
The public became enraptured with Op Art and its style was appropriated by fashion designers and high street stores after ‘The Responsive Eye’ exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965.
As a result, Op Art started in showing up everywhere, for example, in print and television advertising, as LP album art and as a fashion motif in clothing and interior decoration.
