MYP5 IDU EXHIBITION｜我们用歌曲创作、摄影、绘画等多维媒介解构刻板印象

Henry/Andy/Alan 

这个IDU项目的初衷是通过我们的原创音乐来展现世界各地存在的刻板印象。因此，经过小组讨论后，我们决定创作这首带有黑暗和悲伤氛围的歌曲，因为我们认为这样可以突出我们的主题一刻板印象，给人留下深刻印象。因此，我们决定用D小调音阶来创作这首歌。

The initial intention of this interdisciplinary project is to present the stereotype existing around the world through our original music. Therefore, after having a discussion in our small group, we decided to create this song in a dark, and sad vibe since we think it will emphasize our theme, the stereotype, in an impressive way. As the result of our decision, it is a d minor scale song.

在乐器的选择上，我们选择了没有太多高频、具有暗淡的钢琴色彩的钢琴。这架钢琴很好地完成了它的任务，从歌曲的开头到结尾，它都起到了烘托气氛的作用。我们还使用了套鼓来配合和强调歌曲的氛围。我们还尝试过钢琴与小提琴的搭配，但我们没有采纳这个想法，因为我们认为小提琴会打破歌曲这种阴暗、情绪化的基调。

In terms of instruments arrangement, we selected a dark piano which does not have much high frequency. This piano has done its job well, it sets the mood from the beginning of the song until the end. We used trap drum to again match and emphasize the vibe of our song. We also tried piano with violin; however, we did not adapt this idea because we think violin would break this dark, moody tone of the song. Eventually, we used only four melodic instruments including bass, to keep it simple and make the vocals stand out. We want the audience to focus on our lyrics and understand what we are trying to express.

SUCCESS AND CHALLENGE

制作一首完整的歌曲对于我们来说是非常有挑战性的，因为其中涉及到非常多我们没有接触过的方面，例如乐曲编排，歌词填写等。但是我们最终通过积极询问老师以及有经验的同学成功的解决了这些挑战。

Producing a complete song was very challenging for me because it involved a lot of aspects that I had not been exposed to, such as musical arrangement and lyrics. But eventually I managed to solve these challenges by actively asking my teacher and my  classmates who were more experienced.

我的作品的内容是一个残疾人在空无一人的篮球场上打球的样子，我想借此作品来挑战残疾人非常需要帮助的刻板印象。这幅作品是我在安娜美术老师的帮助下完成的创作，首先我为什么会选择拍摄一个残疾人来表现刻板印象的主题，是因为我想要表达在社会的人们对于残疾人群普遍刻板印象都是非常需要帮助或者行动不便的。

My artwork is about a disabled person playing on an empty basketball court, I wanted to use this artwork to challenge the stereotype that disabled people are very needy. This piece was created with the help of Ms. Anna, my art teacher. Firstly,  I chose to photograph a person with a disability to represent a stereotypical theme because I wanted to express the stereotype of people with disabilities as needing help or having mobility problems.

其次为了能够更好更清晰的呈现出残疾人也是可以突破刻板印象，实现自己的想法。我选择了轮椅和在篮球场打篮球为整个作品的主题的主要部分，是因为想要利用人对残疾人不能运动的刻板印象来加深主题，然后又利用整体的艺术拍摄成主要的三个部分从下到上的轮椅，残疾人和篮板来凸显出残疾人也是可以得到尊重，给予他们平等的机会和权利。 

Secondly, I wanted to show that people with disabilities can break through stereotypes and realize their own ideas. I chose the wheelchair and playing basketball as the main parts of the theme of the whole work, because I wanted to use the stereotype of disabled people that they couldn’t play sports to deepen the theme. Then Id use the overall art to shoot into the main three parts from bottom to top of the wheelchair, the disabled person and the basketball court to highlight that disabled people could also be respected. We should not discriminate against them or exclude them, and give them equal opportunities and rights.

SUCCESS AND CHALLENGE

结束这个单元，我学习到了如何从多方面去探究不同的文化以及各种文化的传播。这不仅让我认识到了新的刻板印象，我创作的作品也可以给人们传达有关刻板印象的知识，使人们不被刻板印象所思维固定化。  

To finish this unit, I have learnt how to explore different cultures and the spread of various cultures in many ways. Not only has this made me aware of new stereotypes, but the work I have created knowledge about stereotypes to people so that they are not fixed in their thinking by stereotypes.

该作品是一幅油画，反映了现实世界有关性别的刻板印象。这幅作品包含了各种不同的性别刻板印象，包括服装、颜色的性别歧视和发型。首先，我自所以通过性别的刻板印象来表现刻板印象这一大主题，是因为性别刻板印象是一个经典的例子。

The work is a painting that reflects real-world gender stereotypes. The piece incorporates a variety of different gender stereotypes, including sexism in clothing, colors, and hairstyles. First, the reason I use gender stereotypes to express the big theme is because gender stereotypes are a classic example.

其次，为了能够清晰明确的呈现性别刻板印象的主题，我选择厕所等一系列公共场所男女的标示为整个作品的主体。我认为这是一个很简单易懂的标识，能够使观众能够一目了然的意识到我的改动和其蕴含的意义。在此之后，我选择通过颜色的对比，从而更进一步的表现出性别刻板印象。总而言之，通过对公共场所男女标示的一系列更改，我将男女标示潜在的刻板印象放大。并借此挑战了男女之间的刻板印象.

Secondly, in order to clearly present the theme of gender stereotypes, I chose a series of male and female signs in public places such as toilets as the main body of the entire work. I think this is a very simple and easy-to-understand logo, so that the audience can clearly understand my purpose and my changes.I then chose to further express gender stereotypes through color contrast. In a nutshell, through a series of changes to male and female signs in public places, I amplified the potential stereotypes of male & female signs. Through that,I challenged the stereotype between male and female.

SUCCESS AND CHALLENGE

当我在创造我的作品时，我经历了很多挑战。首先，我花了很长的一段时间，仅仅只是为了选择我的主题。后面，我又花了一段时间，确定了我的作品。选择做什么作品可以说是我这次艺术创作中最艰难的一段时间。  

When I was creating my work, I went through a lot of challenges. First, I spent a long time just choosing my topic. Later, I spent some time finalizing my work. Choosing what works to do can be said to be the most difficult period of my artistic creation.

我的作品是一个拥有纹身的手，我想要借此表达人们对于身上有纹身的人的刻板印象的主题。首先，我只做一选择纹身来体现刻板印象的主题，是因为，在我小的时候，很多人都会告诉我远离身上带有纹身的人，但是后面通过我自己的一些经验，我发现，其实并不是所有的身上带有纹身的人都很危险，所以我发现这是刻板印象的一种，而这正好符合我们现在学习的单元。

My work is a tattooed hand, and I wanted to express the theme of stereotypes about people with tattoos. First of all, I only  chose tattoos to reflect stereotyped themes because, when I was young, many people would tell me to stay away from people with tattoos, but later through some of my own experiences,1 found that not all people with tattoos are dangerous, so I found this to be one of those stereotypes that fits right in with the unit we're studying right now.

其次，为了能够侵袭的呈现刻板印象的主题，我选择了手为整个作品的整体部分，原因是，我发现很多的人都喜欢在手上或者手臂上纹身，所以我选择了手成为了主体部分。然后我决定使用爱心来进一步的表现，那些带有纹身的人也是存在善意的。我想要通过我的作品来表达，人们不应该抱着敌意的心态去面对所有的带有纹身的人。

Secondly, to present the theme of stereotypes more assertively, I chose hands as an integral part of the entire work. The reason is that I found that many people like to have tattoos on their hands or arms, so I chose hands to become the main part. I then decided to use hearts to further show that there is good will  with those tattoos. I want to express through my work that people should not face all people with tattoos with a hostile attitude.

SUCCESS AND CHALLENGE

在这一个单元，我觉得我做得好的地方是我可以很好的理解什么是刻板印象，同时，我可以很好的在日常生活中发现存在的一些刻板印象。我们发现刻板印象存在双面性，同时我们分析刻板印象所带来的优势以及缺点，刻板印象的优势是帮助人们快的形成认知，而缺点是忽略了人们的个体性。同时，我能够知道刻板印象是如何在不同的领域之间所存在。 

In this unit, I feel that what I did well is that I can have a good understanding of what stereotypes are, and at the same time, I can very well discover some stereotypes that exist in daily life. We found that stereotypes have two sides. At the same time, we analyzed the advantages and disadvantages brought by stereotypes. The advantage of stereotypes is to help people form opinion quickly, but the disadvantage is that they ignore people's individuality. At the same time, I was able to see how stereotypes work and exist between different fields.
