2016 Summer Studen and Faculty Research

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

 

 

In the spring , Xi, Christen, and I talked about doing a research about Tiehua in  the United States. We wrote proposal for a student-Faculty summer research project funded by McDaniel Coolege

We planned three goals for this project:

1) make a survey about Tiehua in the States

2) explore who introduce Tiehua in the United States

3) understand Tiehua in a context of global history

Students expect to learn how a historian does a research through libraries, archives, museums. They also want to learn how to formulate questions for future research on Tiehua.

 

Huang Xi’s goal

 

Christen Brown’s goal

 

We also taled with each other and set up atentative for the summer.

Tiehua in the Palace Museum

 

 

On the first day, Christen, Xi, and I met in the Hoover Library. We set a temporary plan for June 1 to 14.later looking at some tiehua pieces, we decided to compare and contrast tiehuaand  brush painting in terms of techniquesmean cultural meanings:

Xi explores floral paintings while Christen explores landscape paintings.

 

It is very nice sitting in the Hoover Library, working on the big table and big screen computer. it is also very convenient to pull uppictures outhon the computer. For the next two weeks, the Library will be our bases.
