WOII: WEEK 5 AND 6 - WORK DESIGN & FIELD TRIP

WEEK 5

An item that I choose that’s handcrafted would be these press-on nails that I created myself from scratch. This item is especially memorable to me since I am part of the creative process and I run this nail business for more than 2 years now. Design analysis is broken down into 5 frameworks. As an independent business owner that works really closely with design and my clients, I have found out which medium works best for my creation, and to also understand what my clients wish to receive. Usually, my clients will send me various pictures and moodboards for me to design and depict my own style onto the medium used (fake nails). It’s amazing how I am able to use different colours of gel paints, the different viscosity and other materials such as charms or beads (which I will consider as the raw materials) to create a creation that is functional and usable as a form of fashion statement/ expressing each individual. I always aim to be purposeful with my designs and creation by going through each frameworks with intentions. I believe the reason why my business is still ongoing and still running is because of the effort and craftsmanship I put into my works. But also not forgetting the trust and loyalty that my clients have for me, I am always grateful to have an outlet where I can express my own creativity.

WEEK 6

The theme that I chose that could be an extension to the item that I brought would be “materiality”. The satin material and beads that I captured are items that are material and raw on their own. But the beauty in it is, it is able to create into a greater creation. The satin material could be used to create a beautiful satin dress, and the beads can be used to create handmade bracelets. I chose the topic materiality since I worked really closely with materials and products. It’s about experimenting with different materials and choosing what works for me best. What worked for others could not work for me, and these come with experiences that I cherish as it makes me who I am to this day. To me, materiality is not just about identifying what something is made of. It’s about understanding what shaped its properties, usage, meaning and the impact it has.

Chinese Historical Periods: Bronze Age to the Development of Writing

The Bronze Age Started around 3100 BCE in China and can be divided into three main periods: early, middle, and late. Some scholars prefer to divide the period between the Shang (about 1600-1046 BCE) and Zhou (11046-256 BCE) dynasties and the Warring States Period (476-221 BCE) into four parts, almost poetically called the heyday, the decadence, the mid-emergence, and the decline.

The earliest culture that created bronze artifacts that we've found is the Majiayao culture near Gansu, which is near the upper Yellow River. The object found was a knife. From Majiayao, bronze working spread along the Yellow River through contact between cultures. It is also thought that domesticated animals may have entered China through this area, also called the Hexi Corridor, or possibly through the Mongolian plateau around 3500 BCE, so it's quite possible that there was communication between Eastern and Western Asia through this passage.

The next major culture was the Erlitou culture, which was also focused around the Yellow River valley from about 1750-1530 BCE. They are considered to be the first true Bronze Age culture, being fully within it, and spread through hundreds of sites. Within this culture, the Xia dynasty ruled from about 2070 BCE through 1600 BCE, the first dynasty in Chinese history that we know about. Until 1959 CE, there weren't any sites discovered that were directly related to the Xia dynasty or a way of differentiating them from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. With improved technology, it became possible to separate out artifacts from the dynasties and establish the historicity of the Xia dynasty.

The final part of prehistoric Bronze Age was under the Shang dynasty. The center of the late Shang dynasty was around Xiaotun Village in modern day Henan. During this time, oracle bones scripts, usually carved on shoulder blades of oxen, began to appear, the earliest form of written Chinese that began to appear around 1250 BCE. There are 150,000 known pieces of oracle bones with about 5,000 different characters, of which 1,700 are recognizable to modern readers of Chinese. There is also a rich array of pottery, bronze ceremonial objects, carved jade, and many stone and bone tools, letting us develop a fuller picture of how people lived and what they valued during this time.

Much work has been done to reconcile the received or traditional history with the archaeological record by a group called the Xia-Shang-Zhou Chronology Project. With the large gap between the Xia dynasty and the beginning of the use of oracle bones, there are schools of thought that doubt its existence, considering it only legendary. Using the best tools available, they're working on narrowing the range of artifacts to identify when they were made. Certain sites are identified with each dynasty as well as certain types of artifacts. By being able to tighten the dates that items found at the various sites, the project has been able to date the currently known sites and identified gaps in the cultural record (cultural transitions between dynasties and predominant technologies).
