Sugar, we're going down.

Ahhh, good God, I just had a heavy workload lifted off my shoulders! This sure was a hell of a week. NOTE TO SELF: *slap* DON'T DO YOUR ASSIGNMENTS AT THE LAST MINUTE EVER AGAIN YOU DOO DOO.

I know it's rare, but fortunately, I brought my 5.2 megapixel camera with me to class for this whole week and I managed to get pictures of pretty cool stuff, so here goes!

MONDAY

The first class of the week is always Language and communication skills! For this semester we have Pinky- our former DJ lecturer! We had a test for this lesson and the whole class had to come in the afternoon...it was a test but the class athmosphere sure didn't make it feel like one...


Its Eeevaaa~~I mean, Ivon, everyone's favourite robot girl! =D


Aaron, always ready for the camera


KDVL AARON!!!


Part of the ever hyper and restless CD085-1 during language and communication skills


Pinky- our language and communication skills lecturer!! I couldn't get a good shot of her face D=


Don't laugh, ah beng was born with that face,okay? Jk Jk!!

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

These two days were a mad rush to complete my self portrait project. I started on Sunday and I wanted to finish it by Tuesday, but things never go as planned even when I tried sticking to my schedule. I shouldn't have spent too much time on d sketches and stuff, have to improve on my planning...@@


A picture of my part of the room, I KNOW ITS SUPER MESSY, taken as a reference picture for one of my history of art project,you can see some of my completed works on my desk XP


The lineart for my art nouveau inspired self composition piece,(Yea, I know I know,it looks better than the real person) I forgot to scan it before coloring it cuz' I was in a hurry to complete it the night before handing it in, Thomas said it looks like the cover of a shoujo manga 0A0

THURSDAY (ART HISTORY PROJECT PRESENTATION DAY)

I worked all nite until 7am I think. When class started at 10 a.m. Yokey and I were both late cuz' we didn't print out and buy some stuff. Heeheehee, so typical of us. Daniel (our lecturer) was in a fit cuz a lot of people waited till they reached the classroom to arrange their self portraits on their mounting boards, erm, yokey and I were actually stupid enough to sit in the first row and paste our self portraits in front of him. Hence, we earned a death glare and he told us to stop arranging the layout. But we didn't listen to him anyway. =P (Some of the photos here look weird because of the reflection of light from the plastic protective covering everyone had to place on their mounting board.)


Aaron and his beautiful self portraits, I especially like the free composition piece and his photograph


Kelly's amazing artwork! Love her art nouveau and self composition piece, pardon the horrible photography


Kelly's free composition piece


Kelly's art nouveau piece


Thomas's rockin' self portraits, I really like the photograph and the fauvist piece, but you can't really see them in this photo, bluek...


Ah, yes, Thomas's constructivism piece. What else can I say? It's so him XD!


Terry's fauvism piece!! I really like it! I think she was the only one in class who got fauvism right, I screwed mine up..@@)



Andy's cragee(<--that's crazy in Andy language) self composition piece, don't play play!!


The class goddess-Xiao Qing's superbly awesome self portraits, Daniel tells us to use one mounting board, but she uses two, haih....that's Xiao Qing for you!







"Crazy right?"-I-Ching


Ah Beng's hilarious self portraits-a parody version of The Scream and his self composition entitled "The Xiao Qing effect", Daniel didn't seem to like the way he injected humour into his artworks and presentation though


Ivon's(a.k.a figure studies queen) naturalistic self portrait and her photograph, move your hand away, woman!


Ivon's fauvism and self composition piece! The brush strokes and colors for the fauvism piece is so luvleeey! And you've gotta love her self composition, she even included me, yokey and yoong in there!




The other goddess in class-Se Lin's beautiful self portraits! She even made them foldable and in A4 size, unlike everyone else who had them at A2 size or bigger. Her art nouveau piece makes me wanna shoot myself.


And now DADADADUMMMMMM~~~! My self portraits~



My completed art self composition piece, my watercolor skills are still so noobish and I'm always messing up the skin color, erk.....need to practice more


My fauvism piece, that's me sleeping on the bed! The message I wanted to send out through this piece is "don't leave your assignments till the last minute". OOHH THE IRONY!!! Just in case you don't know, most fauvism pices look like they were painted by 10 years olds.


Blur photo, but it's the only one I have for my naturalistic self portrait. I'm quite glad with how this one turned out because I've never tried this style of composition before. Unfortunately, Daniel said that it doesn't fulfill the requirements of a traditional; self portrait and that he might take some marks away for that...SOBSSSSSSSSSS!!!!


The photograph that I ended up using, I photoshopped it of course

The few which I didn't use, but still like very much:





I feel so badass in the last one XD

Oh, and all credits go to Aaron for being so nice and taking all those photos for me!

I really enjoyed completing this assignment because I picked up a lot of new information, knowledge and skills along the way. I've definitely pushed myself further for this one. Daniel's critique session will help me a lot too. Although I'll still remember that he penalized me for talking in class. It wasn't my faulttt!!!


It's not the end of the post yet.


THURSDAY(night)

I took a nap for four hours after I got home from design class and started working till the next morning. And yet, All I did was my clock face which was 18 cm in diameter and this:




SO SCREWED.

FRIDAY(night)and SATURDAY(morning)

Before I started work, I suddenly realized that I couldn't find the minute hand for my clock and that I didn't have enough clay, so Yokey and I ran all the way to vision art and arrived 5 minutes before closing time IN FIVE MINUTES. That's a new record! WOOT!! After that, I worked all the way into the morning and yet I still couldn't finish my clock. =_= and that one hour before class was madness because Yokey and I were really rushing to finish as much as we could. Oooh~I never knew I could mould things so quickly~! We brought all our materials to class and thank goodness we didn't have to complete any other assignments that day. Also, our dear lecturer Travis was kind enough to give us the option of handing our clocks in on monday, with a deduction of 5 marks of course. Of course, Yokey and I were more than willing to take up that offer!


Yokey's clock-damn crazy right??!! I'm so proud of my baby! *sniff* Her theme is "Peru"!


My clock-I put a stupid banner at the bottom right side of the clock instead of a gondola that I had initially wanted to use because I had to make it look complete. But now I can bring it home and touch up on it so I can pass it up on Monday! Huhuhu~ Oh, and my clock's theme is "Venice-La Serenissima" by the way~


Ivon's clock-kawaii deshou?? Her theme is "Russia-Swan Lake", the poor girl looked more zombie-ish than I did when I walked into class because she rushed all the clay structures in one night!!



Ivon and I having our picture taken with us and our clocks, it's camwhoring, but without the spirit...

After that I had a group meeting for the upcoming language and communication skills presentation and later,lunch with Kevin and Ivan in Sakae sushi. Then,I slept in the student lounge to while waitin for the rain to subside before I went home to sleep.

Ah, I think I'll show you the little details on my clock because you can't quite see them in the earlier picture, it's hard work okay? So let me show it off a bit! Sorry bout the blur photos... @@


Buildings in Venice


Random boat


Masked Venetian people


Another masked Venetian person


"Ponte di Rialto" or "the Rialto Bridge"





Okay, that's all for now!! I can't believe I used amost 5 hours to prepare this post. I think I'd bettr go to bed now, I need to catch up on a lot of sleep...guh...till the next time then, ciao~

P/S: If anyone didn't want me showing pictures of their history assignments in my blog, please let me know, I'll remove them right away! Sorry if I offended anyone!! >_<;;;
