Last Assignment

It is the final assignment already, we are doing canvas painting,a LARGE one,no, TWO. We have to paint according to the music we listen during that moment. It is a painting of feelings and emotions, to sum it up, it is abstract painting.
For the first painting we paint while listening to classical music. All the musics i heard is from Brahms, piano. It makes me thought of the old times where it is full of nature green flora and fauna. Therefore my music background is green colour. As I listen longer I suddenly thought of guitar, even thought it is not classical music instrument but I just have a feeling that a guitar must be inside because the music lacks of guitar's tune. So I paint a guitar as well. Last but not least I paint the guitar hole with a cup of coffee look from top view because listening classical music must enjoy with a cup of coffee.
For my second painting is about modern music. I heard modern mainstream songs that full of dubstep and auto tune. It feels like the music has waves and the melody is inconsistent, it is like the changing method is boundless. So I use my hand to paint it by creating waves using fingers.

It is finally the end of semester and I'm proud of myself that I learn a lot of things from this subject. Thank you Mz. Lisa for teaching us so many things.

Presentation for our Batik~

this is a group batik presentation formed by me, Ilona, Hossain and Priya. Our Batik is well done except we were too excited to make our batik that we forgot to manage our composition. As you can see we have 2 portrait and 2 landscape, then we made up a solution which is using our batik and form the shape of a castle and present it. The presentation went better than expected, I can't wait for the last project on tuesday which is paint for musics. :D
From this we learn that composition is very important because no matter how nice is the painting or drawing or art work without composition it will not look nice at all.

Batik Trip

I think Batik Trip is the most exciting assignment for so far. We managed to learn a lot new things like how to   draw on Batik using wax and colour it. This is another group assignment. This time I group with Hussain, Priya and Ilona and we make our Batik based on the theme transelvania. I'm making a dracula castle, Hussain making a dracula, Priya making our title and Ilona making the Bat that transformed from dracula.
so I will show mine first. Drawing batik is a very difficult task because once you made a mistake it is difficult to undo the mistake, we learn a lot about being very careful while using the wax because it is very hot and how to draw steadily.

and now I will show our group work.


POSTER

After done the monogram now we have to do a poster that based on the monogram we made. My poster was kinda screwed up.
 this is the experiment

this is the actual 1. it represents my anger.

PRINT MONOGRAM ON ITEMS

After designing our monogram, we have to stencil it and print it on 6 items,it could be phone cover,bags, shirts or any daily used objects. So I printed on these objects. From this assignment I learnt that how to cut and stencil, manage space and being accurate and focus. It is very important to focus while doing stencil.

MONOGRAM

So basically our next assignment is to create our own monogram using our name. My name is Andrew Chua therefore I'm gonna use AC as my monogram alphabet. I've tried many different designs and using those famous monogram and logo as references.


after letting Mz.Lisa helped me to check, the final outcome is a 3-Dimensional version of AC

Air Hockey Table





























It took us 3 days to create this masterpiece. The most success part of this masterpiece is this is not just a display, it is functional. From this assignment I learn that to create something, everything comes from drawing, 2-Dimensional then only it transforms to 3-Dimensional.
