The Experience of the Club

In GCA, there are so many clubs that can be chosen. Such as Volunteer Club, Basketball Club, Soccer Club, Singing Club ect. Of cause, I have chosen the Basketball Club since I was a student of GCA.
Basketball is the one of the most famous sport in the world. It is suit to everyone.When I was very young, I got a new basketball as a present on my birthday. I was crazy about the game at that time even though I was not good at passing the ball. I played the new basketball with my friend every day. Dring my childhood, the ball accompanied me the most time.
In the club, our instructor is a Social Studies teacher-Sexby. He was a ceremonial team member in Canada. My classmates said he could slam dunked because of his height. I was so surprise to this news because my wish was that I can slam dunk. So I think I must practise jumping until I can touch the backboard.
The club trainning in this half of term devided into two parts and the time was on Monday, Wendesday or Thursday. At the beginning, we trainned on the playground. We ran ten to fifteen loops per time.I am a runnning player, so it was not very difficult to me. I remenber I was hurt my foot on a Monday. I asked to withdraw the trainning. The exercise after the trainning of body strength is very important. It made us relax and could prevent clonus.
The second part is trainning in the basketball court of gym. Sexby divided us into some groups to play the game. And the winner could be a member of the basketball team.

Wu Weishan Sculpture Exhibition

On that Thursday, Ms Bartell and Ms Hadley brought our two classes to go to Nanjing University to watch the Wu Weishan Sculpture Exhibition. The artist is Member of British Royal Society of Sculptors; Member of British Society of Portrait Sculptors; Member of the National City Sculpture Construction Committee; Invited Director of Chinese Society of Sculptors.
Wu Weishan is a famous who has a big international influence. He made a lot of artworks about famous people in the world. The style of his artworks was very special-Meaning and Changing. He called the Sculptor of Times. In 1996, he was invited to sculpture for Netherlands’ queen.
She said“Professor Wu Weishan is a pre-eminent sculptor of the new generation. His sculptures are highly praised for the blending of Chinese traditional styles with elements of modern sculpture. He holds much reverence for tradition, and philosophically bases his works on an Oriental aesthetic standard.”
When we at the gate of the exhibition. There was a small garden besides the building. In the garden, there were some artworks by Wu Weishan. The biggest one is Kong Zi who was the philosopher in China. Beside the Kong Zi, there were two men. One is a boss and another one is accountant. The accountant’s eyes were coins. Means the man always be smart on money.
In the room, the place was so large and bright. There were many artworks by Wu Weishan. The picture was a famous Chinese people and me. There was a big artwork in the corner of the room.
From the guide, we knew the artwork was the most famous by Wu Weishan. It was Sleeping Baby. When Wu Weishan went to his friend’s house, the baby was sleeping. Suddenly, his inspiration came. He picked a piece of mud and made it into a head of the baby. The artwork was like a small egg. From the artwork, the face of the baby is very lovely; he narrowed his eyes and opened his small mouth. Appearance was so natural and realistic. When Wu Weishan finished the artwork, the baby waked up. Although the artwork was not very specific, but you also can see the most true baby.
This artwork made us very comfortable and lets me to think many things about this sleeping baby. Maybe he was dreaming about the games or candies.
So, I like this artwork very much. The baby reminds me many things about my childhood. Like a sun in the morning. I like his mouth best. The small mouth opened slightly. The lips were pouting. He was squinting and looking up.
The exhibition teaches me many things. A good artwork not only should be realistic, but also meaning and natural.

The French Restaurant

Our class went to a foreign restaurant with students who in Grade 11 in Nanjing. Before, they planned to go to Indian restaurant, because the Indian restaurant is cheap and special. But wo changed, because Hugo’s mother has hold a French restaurant in Nanjing.On 21st Dec, we arrived at Hugo’s restaurant on 11:30.(But someone is late.So we delay the time) I was so excited when I saw the restaurant.
