LITERATURE REVIEW
From north to south, the appearance of the building is very different due to geographical location, politics, economics and other reasons. The door is the facade of the building, and different doors give people different feelings. As the name suggests, the Arc de Triomphe is a gateway to the triumph of the army on the march.
In 5000 years, Chinese bamboo culture has been transmitted, promoted, innovated and developed, and has become one of the mainstream cultures of Chinese civilization, forming a profound historical and cultural connotation. Paper cutting not only expresses the people's aesthetic hobbies, but also contains the deep social psychology of the nation. It is also one of the most characteristic folk arts in China, and its modeling characteristics are especially worthy of study.
Initiating and maintaining the will and the design and adjustment system of the path are all essential components of hope. Through the artist Gao Fenglian's research, I want to add paper cutting to my work and innovate it, to show it in a new way. Using the melted lines of hot melt glue as a material and the appearance of the door of Gothic architecture, I want to express the feeling of restraint when passing through this door full of black lines.
Form: The modeling in this work comes from the study of the pointed arches of Western Gothic architecture, and the structure of ancient Chinese architecture has been added. The fusion and innovation of the two created a tall door, the wood is used, and the symbolic form of hope is expressed through the refinement of Chinese paper cuts. The frame is painted with black paint to enhance durability, and red is painted into the paper-cut characters and the texture of the windows to enhance the sense of hope.
Form: The modeling in this work comes from the study of the Arc de Triomphe in France, and the use of bamboo and Fu, which are spiritual symbols, is the fusion and innovation of the three. Technique: Select bamboo and build it into the look of the door through interlocking techniques. The display of the Arc de Triomphe adds the Chinese culture of bamboo and the word Fu to express the symbol of hope.
Idea/Concept: A continuation of the previous work, using bamboo as a material to create a gate. Form: The modeling in this work comes from the study of the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, and the use of bamboo to renew the ancient gates of China and show it in a different form.

Data Collection
Data Analysis
In time of peace I hope I will prosper, progress and be safe, but in the years of war most people are displaced and homeless, so I want peace early, to be able to live and work in peace and live a stable life so that people express the Things will also be different. Hope always longs for something beautiful, so I want to express good hope through my works. The combination of the spiers of European Gothic architecture and the window grid pattern and paper cutting of Chinese architecture is also a new attempt, both of which have the meaning of entrusting the future and hope.
The Arc de Triomphe in France and Chinese bamboo as a material are also a new attempt. In terms of technology, the techniques used are splitting, painting, burning, painting and other techniques. The first work uses splicing, and there are nails to secure each place where it joins, so as to achieve a stable effect.
After the modeling is finished, paint it with acrylic paint, so that the color of the work is not single and achieve the desired effect. Steps in the creative process Creators experimented with their methods, working styles, forms and interest in the types of art they like. And the content will change according to the experience experienced by the creative experiment, and the style and concept will also change accordingly.
After analyzing the Chinese elements, try the original materials such as wood strips and materials with ethnic plots such as bamboo. In the process of trying to combine the appearance of Western buildings with the elements of traditional Chinese culture, the original color of the material was changed through the combination of cutting, splicing and other processes and the use of paint and other processes. When I look for elements to add to my own work, there are many forms of new knowledge that are useful for my creation and I will add that in the subsequent production.

Step of Creation
Through the study of his works, he gave me a new understanding of the bamboo material. Through the study of the ancient paper-cut artist Gao Fenglian, she integrated all the details of life into the paper-cut, which perfectly interprets the combination of life and art, endowing the paper-cut with feelings and becoming lifelike. By adding characteristics from Gothic architecture and the combination of the pagoda, the work is divided into four layers.
The frame of the tower is combined with paper cutouts that express hope and desire. Based on the findings of the results, conclusions are drawn about the purpose of creation and the resolution of creation. Through the creation of the art installation Door of Hope to show a kind of beautiful longing of people.
In the production process of the theme of hope, from the choice of materials to the final production process, the choices are made after thorough analysis. Bamboo has the meaning of peace and happiness in Chinese culture, and its connotation has formed the character, endowment and spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation, so the use of bamboo to make the frame has a better. The idea of the work is what I saw and heard during the trip, seeing the richness of Chinese traditional culture and an understanding of Western culture.
As most Gothic buildings are churches, churches are places of people's devotion and faith, but they are also an expression of people's hope. In the creation of the work, the material of the work is bamboo, which is a spiritual symbol in China. The works are displayed in an art installation, and the size of the product is larger, which allows people to enter it better to feel the combination of door and hope.
The fusion of the pins of Gothic architecture and traditional Chinese culture expresses a new exploration of people's hopes and desires. In the process of researching and producing these works, I have a deeper understanding of hope. Other aspects are more from the innovation of the bamboo material by the fourth generation Japanese artist Tanabe Zhuyunsai.
Through the analysis of the artist's works, to create their new styles, in addition to improving the self-critical thinking ability and the ability to distinguish the work from the thesis, also the ability to solve problems and the ability to systematically to think are obtained. during research and can be put to good use. The added Chinese elements include papercuts and bamboo, as well as the spiers of Gothic architecture with Western elements.
