High Heel

Nowadays, the issue of fashion has become the focus of public concern, and the high heel play an important role in fashion. It can make females more sexy and beautiful. In my essay, I have three parts, at first, I will introduce the history of the high heel. Secondly I focus on the high heels today. At last, I will describe the type of the high heel.

In the first place, I introduce the history of high heel. In 14th century, the high heel originates from the Ming dynasty of China. The style was very popular, it was the rear with four or five centimeters tall with a long, and mounted a silk, and the work was very particular. Most people think the high heel comes from west, but they are blind to a bare fact the high heel of China is earlier than west nearly 100 years. In 15th century, a French aulic fashion designer invented the high heel. From that moment, people love the high heel, and it’s popular until now. They think the high heel share females’ story whatever how old are you, it will together with you forever.

In the second place, I will explain how is the high heel developed in today. In 20th century, the sandal was combination with the high heel. When females’ attitude of clothes became more and more open, designers tried to created a new style—peep-toe high heel, which became a elegant sandal in evening party. From 30th to 40th century, along with the success of peep-toe, the peep-toe high heel became more and more popular. However, some fashion magazine spit this style, so it couldn’t continue to popular. From 50th century to today, the high heel changed greatly. They change the shape of heel, it looks like a cone. At the same time they develop the technology, so, nowadays, designers can design the heel , which is sharp and thin.

Finally, I will tell you the type of heels. The cone heel is a round heel that is broad where it meets the sole of the shoe and noticeably narrower at the point of contact with the ground. The kitten heel is a short and slim heel with maximum height under 2 inches and diameter of no more than 0.4 inch at the point of contact with the ground. The prism heel is three flat sides that form a triangle at the point of contact with the ground. Another is spool heel, it meets the sole and at the point of contact with the ground; noticeably narrower at the midpoint between the two. The last one is wedge heel that occupies the entire space under the arch and heel portions of the foot.

To sum up, the high heel is an important element in fashion. It has a civilization of long standing and an age-old tradition. From 14th, the high heel was popular, and it was known the world over. With the rapid improvement of technology and fashion, more and more designers create so many different styles, such as the kitten heel, the prism heel and the wedge heel. Whatever which kind of them, they are all beautiful and make female leisure, sexuality, and sophistication.

Emotion

Today, our project is to describe the emotion which is conveyed in graphic novels. Tension, Intimacy, Joy, Anger, Cold, Anxiety , Pride, Serenity, sour, Madness, Loud all of these are emotion of people. I choose three to describe:
1. Tension
There is a girl who has a red hair and green eyes, and she is tense.

Her head is turning ,and her eyes are bulging. The situation is very dangerous, so she is sweating.

The artist is drawing some lines around her, and the fire is close to her, so she open her mouth.
2. Madness
His teeth are sharp and gritted, at the same time, he lifts his brow.

There is a man who is abnormally large. He is making a fist and
looks angry.

He has a yellow hair, wearing a pink outfit and blue gloves.
3. Clod

We cannot see his emotion and eyes, and there is a scar under his left eye.

Wuhan


In my city, Wuhan, you can try the hot dry noodle that is a traditional snack, which is popular in Wuhan. Ihas a long history, nearly 300 years old. People eat it as breakfast, so a lot of these shops are closed at 11 o'clock. What is it different with other noodle? That is hot dry noodle does not have soup. At first, we use hot water to cook the noodle, which use special material, when it becomes yellow we pull it out from the water. Secondly, we put sesame paste, pepper, salt, gourmet powder, soy and vinegar in it, if you like chilli, you can put some chilli sauce. How to distinguish between good and bad? The point is sesame paste. Finally, we should mix all of these things as soon as possible, because the sesame paste let the noodle become dry very quickly.

Sidney Nolan


Sidney Nolan (22 April 1917 – 28 November 1992) is one of Australia's best-known painters and print makers. He was born in Carlton, a suburb of Melbourne, the eldest of four children.In 1917--1931, Nolan attended the Brighton Road State School and then Brighton Technical School . When he was 14, he enrolled at the Prahran Technical College for Department of Design and Crafts. At the same time, he attended night classes sporadically at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School.
Nolan was a traveler, he travelled around the world and went to
many countries. He married three times, his first wife Elizabeth, but his marriage soon broke up; and then he married his friend's sister; In 1978, he married Mary Boyd, a member of the Boyd artistic family.
Nolan usually used oil and enamel paint on composition boa
rd. His most famous work is a series of the brush ranger Ned Kelly who was his idol. Nolan’s ‘Ned Kelly’ series follows the main order of the Kelly story, his development of the Kelly image as a symbol for Australian history, identity and character.
Kelly and armour 1962
Kelly (1955)
The Trial (1947)

In my opinion, Nolan is a great artist because he used a spacial person as the original model to create a series works of art. He usually used warm color, it has a really Australian feeling. All of his works are colorful, and his Kelly hasn't features on the face, just a square.
