7/29/2019 Ai Weiwei Timeline

4/4

Before I started doing this project, I watched the documentaryAi Weiwei: Never Sorry. From t

film, I got much more familiar with Ai Weiweis life and artwork. Ai Weiwei is upright artist who figh

for liberty and justice. Therefore, I decided to use a straight and square way to show his timeline

without any arcs and turning. The dark background color with Ai Weiweis portrait can decribe his

current situation. However, these depressed issues cannot cover up his extrodinary artworks. Henc

I dropped shadow for the artworks to make them seem more prominent. The selection of artwork

are all his famous jobs.
