Week 2 - Illustrious Artist

I chose to draw the red scarf because it is the main symbol of the book. As I mentioned in my last post (Link to my First Blog Post), red symbolizes fortune and joy. In my opinion, I think that the red scarf was meant to symbolize communism and freedom. Thus, the red scarf was meant to embody the social and political representations that she covered.

I chose this image to represent the book. This image is about a town where almost nobody, or nobody lives, a.k.a ghost town. I thought this picture was meaningful because in the Chinese New Year, the town that Ji-Li Jiang was living in looked and felt like a ghost town because nobody celebrated this major event. In the Chinese New Year celebration in China, all the members of each of their family comes together, trade gifts, and then celebrate by talking and etc. However, this year, everything that people did before were considered as one of the four-olds.
