Online Portfolio: assessment

2007-03-12T01:22:00.000+08:00

In this online portfolio project, I do not find any problem. I use ACDSee software to resize my images into 600 x 800 pixels and sharpen before I upload them. And I use Flickr for upload some images that related to each other. First, upload all the images and put them into one set, after that use badge uploading tool which is provided by Flickr. Once I get the HTML code of the badge, I just need to copy the source URL and I use hyperlink to link it from my post.

NameCard Design

2007-03-12T00:26:00.000+08:00

I found some difficulty on designing the logo then I did some research on some fashion brand logo which is a simple text and logo. And finally I can make it better. I did research from some typography books to find a suitable font type and I scan it then I trace some of the fonts use illustrator to construct my logo. For layouts, I searched for some name cards for references then I modify them to create some interesting layout.

Can u wonder what those are? Oh... Never mind... I just feel bored on this project and I was trying to make puppets. Yeah. They are cat owner's feet and cat's feet. They are nice, aren’t they?

Ok. This is the time for serious... ^^

They are the wings for my imaginary creature. The bird's wings is on the left-hand side, and the dog's wings are on the other side. Maybe they need some touch-up before they can flown my blue-foam...

Artist's Statement

2007-02-25T22:39:00.000+08:00

I enjoy poetry and how words can developed into depth of feeling to create an imagination that expresses many points of view. The fine arts allow me to seek many ways to apply my imaginative thoughts into it. I like to explore ideas of the unreal, illogic, and imaginative.

I employ the unconscious mind to create imaginative a dream like state. Sometimes, it also can create fantasy ideas. I am inspired by Pablo Picasso in painting cubism that break up certain subject matter and reassemble them in another form. The suggestion of multiple view points is very interesting. I also enjoy the abstract view on my art works. The ambiguous form or line works that they create result in interesting composition.

Blue-foam: Week 1 2 3

2007-02-24T22:31:00.000+08:00

Yippee! This is my sculpture development from 1st to 3rd week. What do u think? It is almost finish and i like it. Hehe. I spent around 12 hours to do it, from 3 times of 4 hours 3D session. And I was still doing the wings.

I have plan it will be finish by this week, 1 week earlier before the dead line. And the specialization class will come. I wonder how fun it will. Luis said, for Tuesday and Wednesday I will have classes on design side. Interesting…

Umm.. I'm thinking of a title for my sculpture. Hmm... "Portrait of Dream" will be nice.

I like the concept and the idea. Sharp and nice editing. Calm, in terms of colours, cloth design and expression; due to balance the chaotic idea. Overall: so poetic...

Mural: Week 3

2007-02-13T21:05:00.000+08:00

Today is the 3rd week of the execution on Fuchun Primary School. I also executed by my bad mood then I did not take any pictures of the developments. I was not like doing this day correctly. And my right hand fingers are stretched by metal ruler. The hurt is nice enough in certain reason.

Anyway, you can see the developments on mural group leader's blog. I don't want to say anything about her (that's not too nice.)

It's like when Indonesian has offered a cup of tea then you have to drink, you said.*

Sorry for this inconvenience.

Mural: Week 2

2007-02-11T17:39:00.000+08:00

I forgot bring my design on this week. (Then I have found a nice reason. He he.) This was because of the C Day has taken my weekend and I got headache on the day after. Then I just slept. Slept. Slept.

Sheena was not coming because she was sick. And Sky has beautify my design on "Brush and Violin." He has added more tones and I like it. .^^.

Here are the development for the week 2:

C(reative) Days Mural

2007-02-11T16:34:00.000+08:00

This is a pictures of C(reative) Days Mural on Lasalle-SIA Open House 2007. All foundation students supposed to paint their portraits on walls (it just the other side of students' lockers. What do you think?) There are 5 panels provided for each student. All just in black and white monochrome. I was so tired actually because it took all of my weekend (2nd to 3rd of February.) And I got headache on the whole day after...

I was trying to show movement into my self-portraits. From the top left-hand side going down diagonally to the right-hand side (3 panels), going up (1 panel) and going down again (1 panel).

Hmm.. I think they are quite nice. But we will not see them anymore because my school is going to shift to a new building after the first half of this year. So sad... I want to cut them out soon (I wish...)

OK. I will describe my paintings. We will move from the most left-hand side to the most right-hand side:

1. This is the first painting I did that day. Maybe just a warming-up from my weekend mood. Then I was just playing wet on wet with my brush strokes.

2. Glazing technique. I putted the most effort on this painting but nobody said if it's nice. They said, my 1st painting is better. I (don't) think so...

3. I was trying to paint with Picasso style... Don't say it looks like a pig because i painted the nose bridge with the lightest tone to make it popped-up.

4. White painting (or reverse tones painting). This one is quite difficult because I must switch the tones first.

5. The last one is (failed) cubism painting. Not too bad...

I will post the close views under "portfolio" label.

Blue-foam: Sketch 01

2007-01-31T20:44:00.000+08:00

This is my first sketch for blue-foam design. It inspired by Joan Miro's sculpture. But it rejected. The reason is: it still looks like a dog. And dog is not an imaginary creature.

This is just an imagination puppy...

The next idea is coming... .^^.
I like the dog's head and I will keep it.

Mural: Week 1

2007-01-30T18:41:00.001+08:00

Finally, it is come to week 1. There was a lot of fun on mural. The first thing I do when I arrived at the school was (you know what) eat. Hehe. No wonder. 1 small plate of chicken rice is just S$ 1. But not too nice and that was not enough for me also. Primary school student portion . .--.

After finished my second round breakfast, I met my group members which was just came to the school. That was OK. They was not late for the mural. Then we went to 1st floor and started to divided job. (I must paint my self-portrait. Nobody want to take care on it. Heehee.)

This is what we have done for this week:
This one has done by Sky and Millie (nice and loud partners...) Nice result even the hat is a bit out of shape. Keep on. .^^.

fig.2.2

The 1st subject (fig. 2.1) has done by Sheena, 2nd subject (fig. 2.1) done by Jee, 3rd and 4th subject (fig. 2.2) (have not) done bye me. Luis tell us too change the colour into a stronger colour then they wont look so plain. And half of them are painted on the floor (those are what i design), I hope it won't be (too) dirty because of children's steps. Hehe.

I was too busy to catch the area first and primed it with white colour. I changed a bit the design of the most right hand side subject because it was look odd. And I were wasted my time by painting the most left hand side wall. I had missed communication. That wall end with belonged to the other-wall-group. OK. Never mind (this is my fault.) Later I will help them to cover up the colour.

Online Portfolio: Week 4

2007-01-29T13:45:00.000+08:00

This is a picture of my blog on the 4th week of making a blog. My lecturer need it for the 1st assessment. There will be 2 more assessments: at end of 7th week and end of 14th.

This will be fun..

Blue-foam: The Research

2007-01-28T23:22:00.000+08:00

In this project, I suppose to sculpt an imaginary creature with a blue-foam and I must create a slot on it so I can join my sculpture with my friends' work to form a tower. Hmm.. Interesting...

Since I like surrealism, I did my research on some past-time Surrealist. As I know, Salvador Dali was not playing much with animal (he more attracted with something about sex and mustache.) And I try to find another Surrealist's work. He was Joan Miro. This is one of his sculpture:

Those are some pictures of Miro's sculpture titled "Lunar Bird", a bird with a pair of horns. The proportion is nice with unique anatomy and odd pose. Cool! (Even looks like a chicken and make me feel hungry... Eh, I meant adore.)

Mural: The Beginning

2007-01-28T21:54:00.000+08:00

I am having mural project for the third term of my first year. This is a group project and i am in group with: Sheena (leader, then need to mentioned first), Sky (because of his good idea about template, we can work well), Jee and Millie (they have a nice and creative design). Thanks all.

Ehmm.. Actually this is a 10 weeks project. The first 3 weeks is for designing (, playing, eating and laughing. Haha.) our own design on each wall and present them to the school's principal and the crews(client) later. Tiring enough. There was a big storm in our brain. Fun fun fun. Then the following week we will painting at Fuchun Primary School, Woodland. It is quite far. I need 45 minutes by MRT. And from Marsiling MRT station I still need to walk to the school. I guess it is around 15 minutes.

Since this is a Primary School, there will be many children playing around and bother us. Better buy some candies to settle them (and my mouth) down. Haha.

Anyway, this week is the 4th week. That's mean we will execute the walls on this Tuesday (30th of January). Our group will paint the wall beside the "Art Room" in blue monochrome. Everybody (included me) don't forget to bring your newspaper to cover the floor! Because this is a government school, if we drop paint on the floor, we must lick it out. .^^.

We must paint on a quite long wall (and we wont get paid.) You can see the pictures here. Interesting? And the design have chosen already. It is mine. I never wonder if it will. Thanks God. This is the design:

Here is the description. The 1st to 3rd wall's design was adjusted from Picasso painting titled "Francoise with Her Daughter Paloma an Son Claude." The painting on the stairs is from Dali's "Pierrot Playing The Guitar." I took the Pierrot's head. Haha. The 4th wall is painting from Picasso again. (I forget the title. I will update this later. Hehe.) The design on 5th and 6th wall is from my painting. It titled "Violin and Brush." On the next wall is my self-portrait. I adjusted it into cubism (and it looks no more like me.) And on the last wall is design from the next-wall-group. It's Picasso's portrait. We share the design to make the walls have relation each other. Oops. I forgot to discuss with Li, the group leader of the-other-side-wall-group about how to combine our design at the meeting point. Hehe. I will post the design later.

The can is a source of modern nature that you can bring wherever you go. It gives people who live in the polluted city an opportunity to get a taste of nature. The beautiful flowers with striking colours growing on the side of the can catch the attention of people, awakening their desire for nature which they are deprived of. I had difficulty in extracting the image which I need from the picture. When I paste the extracted image to another canvas, a white area can be seen. I use magic wand and increase its tolerance so the cropping line can extract the image leaving the white area out.
