Expanding Squares

This is my Expanding Square.....

this is a cherry blossom tree. It expands from a square but too bad it didn't able to be seen that it is from a square.











this is the 'Square Expanding-ception'. The square expands a square expands a square expands a square and keep repeating. I actually flipped it instead of cutting and imagine it is a perspective view of buildings with a street in the middle and you can walk through it and going further and further.












From this assignment I learnt about understanding symmetry and asymmetry, Principle of Design, Balance and elements of art, space and shape. Most important is the positive and negative of shape because from this we can learn how to manage our interior spaces, organisation of furniture with the spaces that available.
Thank You~ :)

First Assignment

On the 2nd week, we have our first assignment briefing. It is EXPANDING SQUARE!!!!
well, basically expanding squares means creating a black and white collage out of a simple square, and learning about positive and negative spaceSo, here are some examples of expanding squares













Basically this is it and I will show what I did during practice.



there is an expanding Pac-man and one more is about meteor strikes on land and causes explosion.

We need to create 2 more expanding squares with 1 symmetrical and 1 non symmetrical as example, this is our assignment.

First Day

My first day of class was 2 weeks before Chinese New Year, Ms. Lisa asked to make a self portrait with anything you can. we can use leaves, branches, paper, rock and anything. This was the previous Principle of Design's first assignment too. Ms. Lisa wanted to see the difference between the starting of the year and after half a year. Either way it was just my first time, so I tried to keep it simple and memorable. Therefore i have made this.











This portrait is about I'm a boy who came Kuantan, Pahang went to Selangor Taylor's Lakeside University to study. As people know Kuantan is just a small rural town that full of jungles and beaches to explore, but actually for me Selangor and Kuala Lumpur is my jungles and beaches for me to explore because if the richness in technology, modernism, culture and society. People said City is full of nerds who only stay at home but for me is exactly opposite. I'm a boy who stay at rural town area yet I always stay home and play video games all the time. This is me, my life. :)

2-D design class

Finally I created the blog. I'm sorry that I'm late for this but I was really busy for Chinese New Year. I went to Taiwan, Tai Pei for a week, and here is some picture of the trip.

this is the night street at Tai Pei, Shi Lin

this is the sakura tree from Yuan Ming Mountain

I know this is random but the scenery at Taiwan is so nice and the people there is very polite too.
and here is the giant spider crab that tastes very very delicious.

I have gain a lot of weight after I came back from Tai Pei, this is bad. 
Well, at least this is a happy Chinese New Year. :)
