2D - Mural Painting at Fuchun Primary School

It was really stressful coming up with a design to suit the walls of the music room at Fuchun Pri.. So My group members and I decided to come up with a combine design and it got selected...



Final Design for Mural Painting out music room at Fuchun Primary School.



So.. On the 3rd week, we went to Fuchun Primary to start doing the outlines of our design.
It was harder than i thought it would be. It was hard for me to reach the top area coz i'm short!
The first day of starting our work there, we only did the outline. We planned to start on our painting the next week.




Feeling tired after doing the outlines.



Drawing - Portait(Diff angles)


For drawing class, we were instructed to do 4 portraits of diff angles, and 25 other drawings on our nose, eyes, hair, ears and lips.
Out of the 4 portraits that i did, im only satisfied with the top 2.. the 2 bottom portraits weren't exact as my face.

Drawing - Freaky portrait


An A2 charcoal drawing for drawing class..
We had to combine a weird face with a weird hair. It didn't look like me coz it's hard to erase charcoal.

3D - clay




Clay project was fun coz we get to shape an animal of our choice out of the clay. It must be realistic in order to pass.
Sensitivity is one of the factor for a good clay work. in order to make it look real, you have to feel your work too. imagine that you are holding the real animal and try to feel the contours of the body.
I did a wombat.. i guess wombats are uncommon animals thats why many people who saw my clay work thought it was some pig or wat. haha..
anyway.. i like it so much.

Drawing - Still Life


It was our first few lessons. Rashid placed some objects on the table in the middle of the class.
We were told to do a still life drawing using charcoal. It was some kind of a drawing test.
Almost everything i did at Lasalle is new to me. Even charcoal drawing.
During my secondary school, we didnt get to try different kind of arts.
Oh yeah.. this piece was also selected for the foundation exhibition at the project space.

3D - Wire

Our GIANT dragonfruit!
Working as a team really helps us learn more coz the ideas of a few people are so much better than an individual's. My group members - Ash, Fiza, Mira and myself manage to produce a realistic dragonfruit made up of wires for our 3D group project.
Our Dragonfruit was born at my place coz the rest are not allowed to grow giant fruits in the house! Almost every day, my group members will come over to my crib to finish our wire project. With the help of our experienced group leader, Fiza, the whole thing turned out nice. She came up with the idea of how to weave the wires into the leaves of the dragonfruit.
Upon submission, the fruit was one of them which got selected to be displayed in the foundation exhibition at the project space.
We got paid $50 by this person who liked our dragonfruit. So we devided the money among us. =)

2D - Painting Perspective


For this painting, we had to make our own canvas coz Rashid, our lecturer, want us to learn how canvases are made before we could learn how to paint. We first had to buy raw canvas by metres and share it among our classmates and then buy wooden frames. After stretching the raw canvas over the wooden frame and stapling and all, we had to prime our canvases before we could start painting on it.
The objective of the project was for us to capture the perspective of the school and painting it.
Our paintings were then displayed in our first exhibition in school at the project space.

2D - Painting

THESE ARE MY FIRST FEW PAINTINGS USING ACRYLIC!
I never liked painting but i was eager to learn so that was why i joined Lasalle. To explore my abilities. Not bad right? ahahhaha... kidding.. but i'm trying to brush up on my painting skills coz im majoring in painting for diploma.
This was actually our first project which we had to do for 2D. 15 A5 size paintings on still life. I didnt like stil life, but i had to in order to be an Artist!

2D - Printmaking

My final printmaking piece. As usual, I always finish my works on the 11th hour.
I actually finished this piece in school when we(FA 1B classmates who are last minute too!) overnight in school a few days before assesment day. For this printmaking, it is an image of the coffee shop opposite our school and i only used 5 layers. Not impressive.
That was my first time in my life doing printmaking. When they first introduced this printmaking thing, i totally had no idea what it was until i tried it out for my 2d project.
i struggled during the process coz all of us totally had to do our own stuff so i had to do it on my own. It turned out okay anyway.

Media Project 1 - photoshop


Seeing Nature through Digital Eyes. My first photoshop assignment assigned by BK in semester1 for media arts project. Basically my work uses more of cutting as pasting and some alterations to make it look as if i was really coming out of the monitor and into the forest. It wasn't that good coz it's too simple and it doesn't show that much of the skills that i should be using. Anyway, this is the final piece and this is my idea of Seeing Nature throuhg Digital Eyes.
