Title: Mr.Lance Renner-the Dean of Ozarcks Technique Community College, Mrs. Kat Allie - the Department Chair of Fine Art Gallery Manager of OTC and Me, Feb 27, 2014
Artist:
Size:
Completed Time: Feb 27, 2014
Remarks:
Since the first talking with Mrs. Kat Allie, I started a good luck.

With a special artistic sensitivity as an artist, a good insight as a manager and the sincere and bright personality, Mrs. Kat Allie was the first artist and manager who gave me 3 hours to explain my cross-culture and comprehensive art, then she gave me the opportunity to exhibit my art works, to share it with her students.

Because of her good leadship and hard work, during the exhibition, the local media, TV station, newspaper office, the Dean of OTD, Provost of OTC and President of Missouri State University came to the art gallery...

I do think the meaning of this art exhibition at OTC, has really been beyond a pure art exhibition, it is really a milestone for me and for my little project. Because:

-- In theory, it has helped me to summarize the former study and exploration, during the exhibition, helped me think of many things clear. During I edited the album of my paintings as data for the art exhibition, I wrote 11 articles and made sure something behind the traditional Chinese painting; during the art exhibition, first time, I mentioned out the idea: to compare the Traditional Chinese Painting and Modern Chinese Language together base on the understanding of the 7 elements of a Chinese painting. This will become the core of my cross-culture and comprehensive art and maybe become my own core-competitiveness, to serve for two groups of target users in arts and in Chinese language as the second language.

-- In practice, it has not only helped E-bridge Cross-culture and Comprehensive Art first time entered the classroom of music base on the former poetry and painting teaching during the art exhibition, but also, I will have an new opportunity to teach at OTC few weeks in the upcoming 3 years.

The wonderful news was: Mrs. Kat Allie told me except many instructors in her college would like me to teach, she would also discuss with the International Department of OTC, and I will have my own class to teach. Even though I mentioned out of being a volunteer, they would like to think of giving me a payment. : -)

What Mrs. Kat Allie, his bosses –Mr. Lance Renner -- the Dean of Ozarks Technique Community College, and Dr. Steve - the Provost of OTC did and will do for me have really helped me knowing much more about American culture, American spirit and what the excellent American Artists and Educators look like.
