Self portrait

Miss Lisa asked us to make a self portrait.During the process in finding my won self portrait i explore about other people self portraits in the internet and most of them are unique so i try to come out with my own design of self portrait by combining other people artworks together.i spend a lot of tume trying to figure out how to make my self portrait look alike as myself.i tried typography but i felt like it was too common and some of my classmates will do the same so i reject my own typography and start another kind.Luckily Miss lisa gave us an assignment on paper cut out and i use most of my cutting skills and apply it at my self portrait.after my self portrait is done,i applied colour by flicking the brush to make spots and i use the straw to blow the watercolour so that it may look more dynamic.the colour i used in my painting is red ,blue,yellow,and green.then reason i use red colour is because it is my favorite colour and it can maych with most of the colours.Red represent passion and bravery.the blue resembles the cool emotion i have.i am not a hot tempered person.the blues also resembles sadness.when my girlfriend broke up with me i am depressed and i intended to paint to release my depression.the yellow represent happiness and friendship.i can make friends easily because i wanted to make more friends.There is a quote "the more,the merrier".the colour green reminds me of me and my friend fishing at a valley and you may ask how did the colour green represents that? Especially the green is representing the colour of the pond water and its scenery.I use it because the water ,fish and scenery is healthy.green represent healthy.I am very happy that Miss Lisa gave us this assignment because it is a way we can express ourself more by painting.

Expanding square

Miss Lisa gave us an assignment on expanding square.It is an interaction between dark and light. Creating a black and white collage out of a simple square, and learning about positive and negative space.We were asked to produce 2 different expanding square.one of them is symmetrical and the other is asymmetrical.The theme I use is interior design.I choose to draw it from a top view because it is easier to manage the space

Lesson learnt:
1. To learn about positive and negative space.
2. To use a simple square and all the negative cuttings to create a collage, which will inspire a mask.
3. To understand about symmetry and asymmetry, and the Principle of Design, Balance.
4. To understand the Elements of Art: Space and Shape (Positive and Negative).
5. Good design has a balance of light and dark.
6.Craftsmanship is essential to good design.

Experimenting the assignment

Draw the design or pattern in a piece of paper with the length 4.5 inches

Cut the design or pattern

Manage the space and arrange it to make it so that it may have a unique design

The final outcome

Greeting card

This is our final assignment and Miss Lisa wanted us to make 3 greeting card.I showed her 3 theme which was teddy bear,typography and bird.Then Miss Lisa wanted me to do teddy bear because she said that teddy bear is commonly use in greeting card.We must apply what Miss Lisa taught us for the 18 weeks in the grerting card which is art movement,paper cut out and colour theory.

Progress and experimenting the greeting card

Final result

Christmas greeting card

The main colours of Christmas are red, green and gold, white and silver. Red is the colour of love and energy. The colour green like Holly and Mistletoe have been used to decorate and brighten up buildings during the long dark winter. They also reminded people that spring would come and that winter wouldn't last forever!Snowflakes, winter wonderlands, Santa'beard, the white robes of Christmas angels, white is a colour of purity and cleanliness Silver, like gold, symbolises riches. Silver is a symbol of strength and can also be related to the moon and feminine energy.

resilience, good fortune and youth.

Valentine's greeting card

They can also connote faithfulness, a valuable component in any love relationship.

Team base project

Miss Lisa ask us to work in groups and this year she wanted us to be different than last batch.She wanted the students and tge lecturers to have fun in this event.My team is responsible for marble design on the piece of a3 paper and make sure everything is fine.Therefore,Mrs Lisa recommend us to make some test to make sure that the thing really works.I am in charge of makeing the aluminium tray flat so that the watercolour paper can be put nicely and to make sure there wont be any texture on the paper.We use watercolour paper,poster colour which consist of monochrome colour,primary colour and secondary colour.

Paper cut out

Theme: Werewolf

Reflection: I choose to cut werewolf because everytime I blow my and my friends keep calling me                                 wolverine.I am facinated by werewolf because they are half human and half wolf.From this acitvity                 that Mrs Lisa gave us, I learn how to cut the paper neatly and I have to cut away the edges rather                 than pulling out the paper because the paper will look like it just been bitten of by something.If I                     use the pen knife and cut the edges then it will simply look more sharp and tidy.

Process:

1st let Mrs Lisa choose the sketches that looks interesting in paper cut out

2nd Sketch the drawing that Mrs Lisa chose and cut it out

3rd Spray the final cut out with spray mount 

Art movement

I use expressionism as my art movement. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas.I use green colour to resemble mystery and purple for creativity and magic because i love magic.I painted it with watercolour because my mom teach me how to use colour when i am young and i like watercolour because i can control the water flowing.Watercolour is 70% water and 30% colour.I choose to be a interior designer in the future because my parents are interior designer and they inspire me and i also like to design new things.
