Well, I am of course very interested in the datas about the country which I was born and grew up in. With what topics I was interested, I found most of them not suprising. With the changes in society happening in China right now, people's mind have started to change. When most parts of the history of Chinese paintings has imageries, the contemporary Chinese people are very open to either realistic or different looks in paintings. Even though people still prefered realistic (33%) over different (9%) looks, the both/depends column is the highest but really close to the number of realistic. I also found it interesting with the the choice of soft curve or sharp angles. Under the Chinese tab, 55% prefers soft curves compare to 25% sharp angles. Then I wondered if it is ture of other countries. Not suprised, 65% American prefered soft curves and 55% Germany. While Russia has pretty low percentage on the definite both soft curves and sharp edges, Russian still prefer the former by 10% difference. I wonder if this has to do with humans' own body form since it is what we are use to. Other datas I thought interesting are the scene of the paintings. 59% prefers festive subjects while there is only 12% prefer serious subjects. I think it has to do with what the general Chinese people's view about the function of art, plus the Chinese culture is a very festival orientated one.
Something that suprised me is the choice of the favourite colors. Since red is everywhere during Chinese traditional holidays and any big events, I would assume that the first place would belong to red. However, not only it is not the top on the list, it is actually the 8th. As far as what kind of art Chinese people prefer, 36% choose modern while 28% choose traditional. I guess depends on the data, there seems really a growing market of modern art in China nowadays.
