2. Think of a famous work of art that most people consider great. In your opinion, what is a crucial aspect of its greatness?

This is an interesting question for me, because I recently read some information about the values and the prices of famous paitings in the world. I could not understand why there are famous paitings at such unbelievable prices. After learning something, I think the core value of that greatness is first and foremost the undisputed talent of the artist, the second thing is the long story behind a great work, and the last but not least is the strong sense of the audience to feel about the masterpieces. The more people know and feel about it, the more valuable a masterpiece will be.

A work of art is great or not, it depends on each person who enjoys that art. However, the work of art, which is considered great all over the world, certainly brings a lot of emotions to us. For me, the greatest work of art is “Ode to Joy” by Ludwig Van Beethoven. The crucial of the song that made me fall in love with it is the melody. Of course, Beethoven's music can strongly affects your emotions even it does not have any lyrics. "Ode to Joy" makes me feel relax, lightly. It can heal my mental whenever I'm stressed. Therefore, if you want to have a comfortable feeling, just listen to this song and chill. 

1. What kinds of art were you exposed to at school? How much did you enjoy them?

In this semester, I have been learning a very wonderful and interesting subject, which is Holistic Development Through Art Therapy. After finish this course, we are supposed to be able to use art therapy for vulnerable communities in the society. In order to do that, we need to learn academically first, with the basic knowledge of symbols and metaphor. Later, we need to get a pre-camp to a center of supporting the vulnerable children and then finally launch an event there with them. This is a combination between visual arts and therapy, in order to conform the clients. Since I always consider myself as a social and sympathetic girl so this course is definitely a way of exploring and enjoying life for me. I think I can grow further here.

I would consider drawing as the most popular and greatest art so far. It is not just about how to make a picture using pencils, crayons or brush, it is about expressing your feeling and your personality with the product that you made. The potential of art is litmitless. Through art, you can fly upon the sky, or dive deep down the enormous sea, or it can be as simple as representing a backyard of your childhood. Sometimes, a drawing can speaks better than words, it could heal people's heart and remind them that, in somewhere in the world, there will be a person that can understand the difficulties that you are carrying and be there for you to give you motivations, to help you keep going.

When I was in Junior high school, I found my interest at musical instruments, typical here is Guitar. Later, first year of high school, I got my first Ukulele and I really enjoyed  playing it. And final year of high school, my dad bought for me a Piano. I am into musical instruments so much that I learn how to play those musical instruments on the Internet all by myself. I am still not a pro now, but I am a passionate one.
