ARTSY WEEK

I have been in my new school for 4 weeks now and I'm still fine with how the school works.Though every current module are mostly drawing and thinking related... i got kind of sick even though i LOVE to draw and doodle. All my imaginations are being stuck to my mind and i cannot think of anything nice to draw. But this week is one of the most Artsy week among all (:

CREATIVE THINKING YAY!!

The week before we went for some sort of adventure around the area of the school in search of finding the listed items that we all were given by our creative thinking teacher. We went around and got to have lots of fun and ended up with a funny and awesome story about 3 princesses with strange names. It was really fun to be with a different group of classmates which now we became good friends.

So this week we did a presentation on our funny stories... later that day we changed groups and were given new tasks to complete which is to think of ways to mix 2 totally different food items together and make it either a Appetiser, Main Course or Dessert. My group was given a carton of Orange juice and Cheezels, which was both quite random and we thought of funny ideas which we thought together, 5 minds in 1 for 50 totally different ideas. It was mind-boggling but i enjoyed it as we thought of disgusting food products that did not make us hungry at all. We were ALL crazy while we were doing this. After that we had to make a menu for the dishes we selected for each of the titles, we did a classy C.O. cafe menu to represent our whacky ideas.

DRAWING AND MORE DRAWING BOOP

For drawing fundamentals, we were told to sketch still life which was the items shown below. At first i thought it was not going to be easy, but to my delight, it was simple and the teacher guided us when we needed some opinions and views. Im not really good at shading shadows for either objects or living things, hence this is kind of a new experience and i learnt a lot through this particular lesson.

I also learnt that there are many views to a simple structure and there are infinite ways to shade it.

NEW ENVIRONMENT FOR ARTSY

Today is my first art lesson in NIE and I'm pretty pumped for the lesson as i am told it is really fun and enjoyable. I had to travel really far to the school but it was all enjoyable as i spent it with my art teaching clique.

We were told to draw Rubiks cubes within a certain amount of time, which was 3mins, 2.5mins, 2 mins, 1.5mins, 1min and 30 secs respectively in 3 modes which was to draw in different viewpoints.

I did not know what is this activity was suppose to be about but in the end the teacher told us that he wanted to train us to draw sketches according to the students as children daily loses concentration after 3mins max and 30sec minimum. It was pretty simple as i can do sketches easily and with this awesome exercise, i learnt to sketch faster and more accurate. The teacher can see our personality through this 18 sketches,which made me shocked at how accurate it is.

I did some sketches of a novel that I'm writing, i sketched on humans in the MRT as i wanted to have a more realistic look to my characters.
This marks the end of my Artsy week, hopefully next week will be more Artsy as always <:
