Welcome to the period of the yet-to-be-rising sun!<br />
<br />
Cos it's freaking late now and I think the last time I slept so late... was during the musical period. Argh. KilledX.X<br />
<br />
Anyways! Time to update my blog (wth i've just been continuously updating and editing for the past few days but just ignore that fact for this sentence to work >:p) of my favourite medium and of my favourite subject matters! In my favourite stye! Sigh... I'm kinda sick of doing so much practical work and other works like designs etc.<br />
enough enough enough. stop. ... because the one love in my life is just<br />
<br />
<h2>
DRAWINGS. <3 ABSOLUTE LOVE*//</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
anyone who knows me well enough knows this...</div>
<div>
videos i'm quite ok since it's a new form of media and it's digital (not to mention fun >:D though tiresome)</div>
<div>
digital art i'm quite ok too since i get to draw</div>
<div>
oil painting and sometimes watercolour, i'm quite ok too since i get to draw with the brush~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
but drawings are still my main form of media no matter what :)</div>
<div>
i should really put some time out for pure drawing time and improve my now stagnant drawing skills.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, on to the main topic! Artwork! Wow .. i'm so fired up at like 2 am.+++ OvO</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Karakuri Burst Fanart </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is actually based on a video, and then other more official fanarts, but of course, I drew from an impression and not really on anything else, like i usually do. Because I have a problem of drawing directly from sight if I wanted it to not be too time-consuming, and that is that the proportions would be sort of wrong, the lines and postures look a little stiff and basically, you can't <i>have</i>, in the first place, an exact art style as someone else (everybody is unique, hello), so it would obviously look fake. Having influences and committing a few minor counts of plagiarism is fine and is the essence of Art, actually. Artists have a trend of first, conforming to the norm and copying works and style as practice, then slowly developing (or not so slowly [?] ) developing their own, special style that defines them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So yup, here's the picture!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes, yes the proportions were wrong...(as in the guy, was a tad too skinny=='') and the knife looked weird and the chair could have been improved on, and the drawing of the creases of the clothes too, could look a little more free and natural. Oh yes, and the girls' nose. Darn.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But other than that, I really really like this piece of work :D </div>
<div>
First of all, because there is some sense of composition, and not just random doodles like this on my Chinese papers when I'm on the verge of falling asleep:</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
oh come on1 He's hot and he's doing that hot eyebrow twitching thing~ *sqeual*</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so yeah, and instead focusing mostly on the head like I usually do, I also included a bit of a background, namely the chair and other accessories one might not notice at first, like the empty sword case hanging on the cracked throne, the sign on top of the throne and the horns above the throne. Random things like that (which are not actually very random ) matches and bring out that evil kind of mood. And just as a comparison, or if you wish it to be , a context, here's the original animated song (created by amateurs mind you) and the official fanart, just to see and compare how much I have actually -- lent from the originals and how my style is also different from theirs.</div>

2. <b>Designs </b>for Cosplay (Costume Play)</div>

<div>
where cosplay is referred to as - <span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #bbbbbb; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 15px;">The practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, esp. one from the Japanese genres of manga or anime</span></span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 15px; text-align: center;">To me, it is a form of performance art ( like theatre and photography). It contains the many elements of art, from photography to costume design and make up. It creates many possibilities where we can bring it from just a hobby to a national level in competitions. There is no limits to anything from age to sex to even the country you are in.</span></span></i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as can be seen, I had the characters in mind and their characteristics and then according to the theme, 'white magnet'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ok, if it looks anyway sexy, ... it's not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, it's sort of like the first time I'm formally designing clothes and I think it just dawned upon me, how much creativity is also needed for designing nice, appealing clothes , not to mention, wear-able/buy-able. Unless it's for some proffessional seamstress or something, the problem of making it places considerable limitations on fashion designs, where designers are not able to go all out and really exhibit their ideas and to make it more complicated (like the very first picture of this post)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but i think it was ok, as it adhered to the theme of innocent, purity, angelic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the colour scheme (oh, this is SO crucial for a <i>set </i>of designs to work.) white, pink, and cream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but of course, if a character was sexier, more skin is revealed and sexy cutting will be more obvious and if a character is more manly/masculine, then a less effiminate costume- more long pants, vests or jackets can be considered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each chracter also has their own colour tone (based on their hair), so there is a space for variation among characters and I have considered putting in the crucial colours that defines them and merged it with the costumes and also put in a few appropriate accessories for each character to spice the designs up a little, after all, who was one who said that the accessories <i>make </i>the costume? :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Vocaloid Fanart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(in my own style)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically Vocaloid are characters and more specifically, robots that can be programmed to 'sing' and originate from the beautiful land of the rising sun. Fans create songs, music and clothes for the characters and sometimes also makeup storylines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are the official original characters:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(same as the 2. characters actually haha :) )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82gIjE4ty1r47bN4q6_NOZW0JtFzHBrXe2YlF8ayhNGv1owdxnf3RGVBgqK8P24SlIDpeHb1YvPJHpeVn_0XJinu_FT9zDc8WbN3kp-YJ6gmt0H-sVdD4o4mVfBgAdmivYJHMAzpFMmiA/s1600/Vocaloid.full.100099.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82gIjE4ty1r47bN4q6_NOZW0JtFzHBrXe2YlF8ayhNGv1owdxnf3RGVBgqK8P24SlIDpeHb1YvPJHpeVn_0XJinu_FT9zDc8WbN3kp-YJ6gmt0H-sVdD4o4mVfBgAdmivYJHMAzpFMmiA/s640/Vocaloid.full.100099.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and below is my fanart (created, after designing the costumes because mainly I wanted to exhibit the possibilities of poses, the mood that I wanted to create and a persona for each character I drew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here it is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7jJMatlhKJeahFxeVqH8zIYtm-X92672eokn6dZZyuZ29l-6SgCffGf-BCaG_qEnylnSnBNz7ZvtqptwacEFwfZcKgKTl3q4NkBsB_AUsysDzgwpsnBnebbMJmFCjzapb-JeOTQbq8xvQ/s1600/IMG_2061.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7jJMatlhKJeahFxeVqH8zIYtm-X92672eokn6dZZyuZ29l-6SgCffGf-BCaG_qEnylnSnBNz7ZvtqptwacEFwfZcKgKTl3q4NkBsB_AUsysDzgwpsnBnebbMJmFCjzapb-JeOTQbq8xvQ/s640/IMG_2061.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I only put one up because, frankly, this is the best I thought. Because the two characters are like two brothers, they are practically alter egos of each other and to make them look almost the same, yet not the same is just irresistable. Of course, taking away the cheesy 'mirror' effect, the linking arms effect looks both cool and equally effective. The rose theme is also prevalent in many of my drawings of this series as the rose represents purity, love, all of which are the themes of "White Magnet".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
AND FINALLY, A FEW DRAWINGS (ON A4 SHEETS) COMING RIGHT UP!</div>

hope someone recognizes this. I think this was drawn when I was trying to draw
a manga and I realized that the biggest, yet most difficult problem to solve
was to draw repeatedly, the similar-looking face and for every panel of reoccurrence
and in almost every facial expression and angle. However, this is much much
much harder than manga artists make it seem to be and I guess this was just
some form of, again, angsty experimentation and practice for myself to hone my

His previous films have played theatrically, and to President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore at the White House. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; line-height: 18px;">Prior to directing Food, Inc., Robert Kenner received the 2006 Peabody, the Emmy for exceptional merit in Non-Fiction Film-Making, and the Greirson (British Documentary) for his previous film Two Days in October. Two Days is characteristic of Kenner's keen sense of authenticity and his passionate quest to present the truth. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>"With a constituency limited to anyone who eats, "Food, Inc." is a civilized horror movie for the socially conscious, the nutritionally curious and the hungry. Yes, it has a deceptively cheery palette, but helmer Robert Kenner's doc -- which does for the supermarket what "Jaws" did for the beach -- marches straight into the dark side of cutthroat agri-business, corporatized meat and the greedy manipulation of both genetics and the law. Doc biz may be in the doldrums, but "Food, Inc." is so aesthetically polished and politically urgent, theatrical play seems a no-brainer, though it won't do much for popcorn sales."</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I personally have found this particular film of his one of the most inspiring. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Truthfully, it was Al Gore that set me on this path of environmentalism when I was around 9-- it was as if the tides have turned and my whole world was reversed when my form teacher played 'The Inconvenient Truth' to my class. I'm pretty sure I was the most affected one. Until now, the haunting image of a Mother Polar Bear leading her cubs to potential food sources but never finding them still breaks my heart. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">However, technically Al Gore was the Vice President to President Bill Clinton (America) and so he could not really count for an <b>artist </b>inspiration, although I am practically itching my insides tempting myself to put it inside this blog, as he may be the biggest influence on <b>my life. </b>no kidding at all- after I watched the Inconvenient Truth, it was as if God presented me with <i>my truth</i>, of humanity, of myself and of the world- that was how big it was. Just a simple film, huh, you might think, but I don't like to treat things just as they are. Alright, i'm deviating--maybe at another time then.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, Robert Kenner's :</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">His film of Food Inc. is highly insightful and simple gleaming of the simple truth behind the cruelty involved in the source of our consumer foods. We seem to be intentionally and consciously being cruel and positively inhumane to animals, treating them like factory products, like a means to an end, our ends (pun intended). He enlightened me on the widespread injustice throughout the world and the impression of the message of his film has been so deepset that everytime I buy something from the supermarket<i> </i>or eat out, or even plain cooking meals at home, <i>i cannot, cannot forget whatever he has expressed in his film</i>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I think it was after I watched this film (twice ^^) that the notion of becoming a vegetarian occur to me. Before, I wouldn't even think of myself even considering being a veg. I mean what for? I didn't even waste any brain cells thinking about that at all- that is, until i watched the film- 2 hours of watching animals suffer terribly under the hands of humans that submit to the demands of other humans and other more greedy and wealthy humans (yes, businesses and corporations- and the excessive greed for profits). It's this chain of dog-eat-dog world and who wins? Nobody, but temporarily, the rich and the wealthy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I hate cruelty and physical pain- even if it were to retrieve a president or someone really important, I think it's highly unlikely that I'll use torture or any inhumane forms of treatment like that to almost anybody, I think?

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As an artist, he really does know how to present his ideas clearly and also presents the pictures just right, giving a grosteque feeling when it's needed, a sickly feeling or mechanical feeling when needed to. His art may not be as strong as the pictures in Requiem for A Dream, but to make a more stale and less purporsefully exaggerated theme to have the ability to communicate his purporse effectively and yet, at the same time, enthrall even the most indifferent of audiences. And that, is one of the hallmarks for good filmmaking or directing.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If I wanted to draw a link to traditional art, it's like an artist that can present his art of oil painting for example, so skillfully or with such strong emotions, that even the most artistically lacking has to take a pause in order to process the glory that be before one's eyes.</span></div>

alright, just for anyone who's wondering why I've been like furiously updating my blog every moment, it's because .... my e-portfolio is due (that is, the blog). That's why there is also a tag of E-Portfolio in recent posts. :)<br />
But ain't updates great? :D<br />
<br />
Anyway, I decided to share that little of Arts and Craft work I actually do.<br />
<br />
Aaaaannnd~~~here it is!<br />
It's one of three cosplay hats that I am supposed to do for this version (alright fine, I only did two, but for me that's not too simple a feat already x.x):<br />
(It's called Romantic Jewels and it's actually a really awesome design by Sakizo, an artist and the one i'm planning to do is the one third from the right)<br />
-- ** i'm only showing the hat that i made int this post **<br />
<br />
First of all, this is the original illustration for the series:<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
needless to say, I fell in love with this almost instantaneously, I mean which girl would not be all over such feminine and cute designs that also incorporate a little of that Victoria Era themes, where there were corsets, accessories, headgear, roses, chains, chokers and basically lots and lots of decorations.</div>
<br />
And here's the cosplay version-- (from Japan <3)<br />
<br />

<br />
Before I go on about what I did, I would just like to add that the group (above 2nd picture) made all the costumes themselves (at least that's what I think so, but definitely they did some parts of the costumes, if not most) and that the handiwork is just really awesome. Furthermore, they are also still students, so not just the technical skills, but that passion and devotion that they put in is worth another wave of admiration.<br />
As can be seen, they altered the design a little, because, to be practical, who could actually wear the costume as seen on the original artwork? That would be a little too revealing and also, not to mention, near impossible for mere amateurs like us to make. But moving on...<br />
<br />
Here is one of the hats that I did and photographed a few months back with my Dad's iPhone:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I think it's actually not too bad, if not, good, actually, even if I do say so myself :)<br />
<br />
*Details of the hat*<br />

-- can see the intricacy of the meshed white lace with white flower patterns<br />
<br />
-- there is also a nice blend of pale-peach pink lace -- let me just say that this lace is gorgeous.the color is just utmostly perfect! And only at $5/metre ~ Lace can be expensive, but depending on where you shop, it can also be economical!<br />
<br />
-- I have also taken care to fold the lace in the way to imitate both the original illustration and the cosplay picture--> this gives the hat much more volume and also, more of a presence and looks not as flat as it will be. The folds are random folds, but they look just fine i guess<br />
<br />
-- The two folds overlaying each other further creates that illusion of enlargement. Furthermore, I also took care to fold some special 'creases' on the dark green cloth lying as the <i>first</i> layer of the hat.<br />
<br />
-- finally, the most special cloth that we have used until now is this the dark velvet green fabric underneath everything else- it's slightly stretchy, slightly shimmery and sheer, and OMG just really really beautiful! And it's all due to the texture and not patterns etc.<br />
<br />
-- Btw, the hat may seem sort of weird, but that's because it was just an original sunhat when we bought it, but then, we realized that it was too tall (the bump for the head) and then Fang Ni came up with a simple but marvelous idea of cutting the top and then sticking/sewing it back on to make the bump less obvious.<br />
--> It really is simple things like this that makes a world of difference.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Anyway,<br />
The front looks rather nice, but the bad looks... ghastly =='' in a word and messy, seriously, I do not get how those double-sided embroidery stuff works. I am not going to bother about the inner, hidden side if it doesn't matter~ That's only practical. But lo and behold! This is how it actually looks like inside~<br />

<br />
Ah well, it's messy inside but it's fine:)<br />
An important tip is to (duh) buy needle thread that more-or-less blends into the cloth and thus the work will look less disjointed.<br />
<br />
I really put much time and effort into this part of the prop, although there was still much much much more to go, as always huh :) . '<br />

DIGITAL ART YO</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The two pictures below have been completed around the July of this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my current style and this style might be around the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps it might seem strange that I attempted Digital Art, for those who know me, but it just so happenes I needed to draw out my storyboard on the Mac Wacom (it's a living dream to use, I swear. I went back many a recess to draw and experiment further with the Wacom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heck, it might have been easier than pencil and paper drawings! It was a great and refreshing experience nonetheless and I think after cracking the tip of this iceberg, I think I finally understood why some people prefer working digitally. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somwhow... it seems like working online has given me some form of artistic inspiration</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, enjoy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

*Angst of a Student*<br />
This was actually my second attempt- as can be seen I have become slightly more control over the 'shaded parts' or the sections with shadow on it.. This is slightly incomplete though... because I think BT2, quizzes were right in the middle of everything so and so this is slightly unfinished, but none the less, convey a sense of angst, rebelliousness and frustrations about so many restrictions in our world and also about controlling people in our life, which we can affect us in a not-so-unpleasant way, but I think I am blessed to be able to be able to express my passion for such things on the computer, and to make my passion as appealing as it is intense.<br />
<br />
As the passion propels the drawing and purpose behind this drawing, the passionate voice of the character is also implied by the ferocious hair and the mad and grevious glint in the eye and the metal studs around here neck, all elements of 'Entrapment'.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"Ikeman Wacom"<br />
This is my first work done facing the computer screen for the first time, drawing.<br />
Honestly, I just wanted to hon my skills a little more so I decided to draw a male with a class of his own,<br />
I guess one of the most important elements are the lips and the eyes of the figure.<br />
Through this part experimentation, I realized how to draw the a more balanced shot of a profile and to take notes of the proportions of the face-- especially the eyes and to make sure that the cheekbones etc and the subject do not vie for the viewers' attention more then the subject. Also, as the Wacom was perhaps, even smoother a touch than the average pen and paper. Furthermore, I like that the Wacom can detect the changes in pressure in the pen used to draw the portraits-- I do not actually need to change into another kind of pen just to boldly outline the figure and it's also tons more easier and convenient to vary the thickness or thinner of the outlines.<br />
<br />
I think the next step would be to obviously try and add convincing, representational colds to the works to make them look even more energetic and vivid. Lets' see... :) I, regrettably, have not worked with color in such a long time~ Looking forward to it! >:D<br />

Process:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Actually, when I received this assignment I didn't really know what to do and was actually rather bewildered by it. I'm not particularly a rather patriotic and school-spirited kind of person and the Nanyang Musical was basically just another project in my life. Another obstacle, perhaps (which i got through in the end).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Honestly, at the end, I still didn't change my views, just that I guess I treated this in a more positive way and decided that since this was probably one of the last art assignments I would do in Nanyang, I might as well try to put in my best. Thus, I ventured to design the best 2D (yes, I am only more adept at 2D artworks, i'm sorry to say ><'') cover that I could actually manage in this period of time and with whatever previous practice I had done before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Might I say, I'm actually one of the worst worst worst designers in my class ( i think? ) and I just didn't how to combine stuff together in a simplified way, or even to decorate a card- because unless one gave me a bunch of materials to manipulate, I would not know what to begin to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
no start, no end. duh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I set up to combine a few symbols of Nanyang, and I tried to draw on the different aspects of Nanyang, because Nanyang is <i>so</i> much more than just a normal, or even nerdy cheena school. There is the studious parts, the sports, arts and uniformed groups-- who may as well be ignored too long already.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is also sometimes fun and games, filled with smiles and laughs. So I chose, a band player to be representing performing CCAs, basketball to rep. sports and finally, a UG Girl to represent her own category of uniformed. All of them are drawn in my best attempt to keep the figures simple and neat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I infused the letters of <b>9 and 5 </b>together in a spiral, curvy mass of shape that joined together elegantly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then it was the color scheme-- I have already chosen black, red, orange and yellow to be the lines going diagonally in the whole picture. The color scheme isn't too hard though- the school colors were orange and green and since this whole theme was about the school, the school and the school, it was only legitimate to apply the color tones as blue and yellow, to fill in the background and made it look patriotic and just nice, the light blue I used could symbolize the sky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I for one, really like the dynamic composition of this work as it has two main diagonal lines that goes in 2 different directions and especially the girl at the bottom right hand corner of the picture brings movement and life into the cover in a simple way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, the colors do not deviate much, if not any attention away from the painting, And the designs look both simple yet slightly difficult-- this was one of the better design works, if not the best designs that I've done. I'm actually rather satisfied with it as I really put quite some effort and time into it :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course, many of my classmates were much more nicer, in my opinion, but oh well, they were deferent styles and I happen to like drawing in purely 2D forms.</div>

ARTIST INFLUENCE: YUUMEI (from deviantART)</h2>
<div>
How do I begin? What does one use to start describing an artistic genius, qualified in her own way?</div>
<div>
I know, like how I just did >:3</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, actually this artist had influence on both my art and on my coursework video.</div>
<div>
She is in Asian (Chinese) American and is studying in the US. She's around 21 years old this year and is seriously one of the best, skilled, talented artists that I have seen. She majors in Art and mainly makes use of a medium of digital art, but the amazing thing is that although she has the ability and the overwhelming potential to reach higher and higher into that realm of modern art, but she also works with other medium and seems to be equally of familiar with the medium like wood, paper. This is highly amazing and commendable-- just like imagining how you might seem Van Gogh creating sculptures or cut-outs after a life embossed in the midst of oil painting almost solely.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nothing speaks the truth better than pictures themselves, so here are her a few of her artworks:</div>
<div>
Let the pictures speak the most eloquent of the thousand words they bear within them.</div>

delicately intricate, but rough and sturdy pictures above.<br />
just to exhibit how incredibly talented this artist is, the pencil drawing above (the first) was done when she was FRIGGIN THIRTEEN (2003) when she drew this. I mean like THIS is<br />
<br />
<h2>
INSANE. WTFOSNGOMGWTHITDNGA$%!)F?!!!!!~</h2>
WELL, this certainly puts me back in my place of 'amateur ding-dongs'.<br />
<br />
anyway, she really has a vivid, and might I add, an aptly beautifully creative mind. That's a lot of adjectives, but I, for one, was truly<i> blown away</i> like, to the depths of hell of jealousy and climbing back to Earth just to visit her sites again and again.<br />
<br />
then maybe another step to Heaven to scold my maker for making the world so unfair.<br />
<br />
On to the less emotional stuff, it is also clear of how she keeps on improving and improving with her digital arts skills, her drawing skills, her coloring skills, and her dedication to art never seems to be bounded by anything but only by time and her present skills.<br />
er, but perhaps that was a little of an exaggeration, because I have not noticed any painting of hers...<br />
yet.<br />

this piece is called - 'melting'<br />
did I mention that she is also into Japanese-style art?<br />
Yup, I think that are where <i>her</i> influences stemming from.<br />
From China, her homeland, From America, her home and from Japan, the land of the rising sun/<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>digital art</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>*warning, pls do not scroll down if you are prone to heart attacks, heart palpitations or hyperventilation etc because it will be detrimental to both your physical and esp. mental health"</b><br />
<br />
This is so perfect. The following digital art-- this is like old masters' oils being replicated in digital and virtuality.<br />
The messages of Environment and Environmental Conservation is persuasive in many of her artworks.<br />
She also comments periodically on the cruelty that is of Humanity and Human Nature.<br />

Look at how skillfully she created that wavy texture of the hair, and maintains the rawness with seemingly planned cracks in the face of the male, that adds a raw emotion of desolation and breaking-apart into the sculpture. </div>

She had no prior experience of origami. This is a fact. </div>
<div>
sigh... i'm in lack of the proper words to express the awe and admiration I hold for this girl that is so darned talented in so many aspects of art, and also retaining both her culture, traditions and infusing the newfound dynamism of complicated, yet simple.</div>
<div>
The skills of folding are also beyond marvel.</div>
<div>
She was simply too emotional because of family problems to draw anything and thus, she turned to folding paper to release her emotional stress-- like what some artist said before, anger and angst can be a form of art, and to release that passion into art is to express passion in a way not to displease, but to appeal too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
that's all and i thank god for presenting us such a fine, talented, young and passionate young artist and allowed us to share her artworks with others, to blow everybody's minds away with her purist form of art as her way of expression.</div>

btw, to further demonstrate her versatility, her is her 'comic'/cartoon strip which she made, i think for leisure purposes<br />

PHOTOGRAPHY WORK- COSPLAY <3</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Perhaps I should put this photography work #1- this is the first time I took my dslr on a test run </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was the second day of my nikon! dslr <3 and it worked out to be a dream, like I thought it would.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although, I wasn't very familiar with it <i>yet</i>... so the pictures might have a few technical defects or imperfections like aperture settings not perfect enough, the picture isn't the clearest that I could have gotten, or the lighting wasn't ideal etc.etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Actually, the true reason that I wanted to get a Nikon was partly because of the lovely landscapes that that it can capture, and otherwise, i thought that Nikon could capture the dynamic tones of cosplay, yet also present it in a more natural way than Canon or Sony, which I found the pictures slightly too <i>too </i>vivid. I guess the vivid colors camouflage all the beautiful details of each costume-- i love details, just clarifying so i might be slightly biased on this aspect. Anyways...</div>

These pictures (below) are taken last year at the AFA (Anime Festival Asia) Convention. They were all of random strangers in cosplay costumes, imitating anime/game/manga characters. Some people think that Cosplay is tacky and strange, but unless you are into it, or have an open mind, it would be hard for one to appreciate it, but let me just say, there is tons of love and investments put into each cosplay sets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here they are- i tried to portray the mood of each character in my photos:</div>

It looks as if there is some gentle breeze blowing across him, as he (actually it's a she >:333) closes his eyes-- and exudes a calmness about him (although there was a wall of photographers crowding around him, but as long as there is no hint of them, it doesn't matter.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
this was such an instantaneous shot. He didn't purposely posed this way, of course, but just that one moment captured my attention so much and drew my to capture this moment and entrap the moment in the ice of time.</div>

of course, in cosplay portraits, I have learnt that nothing unintentional, should draw the attention from the subjects themselves, as the subject is supposed to be the most important thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as can be seen here, the composition isn't well planned at all, and the background takes away some of the crucial attention from the two main figures in the foreground.</div>

Ah!This is another absolute fav!!! I zoomed in on the face and adjusted the aperture higher, making the details around the face- which is the central focus, really sharp and defined, giving it an intense feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is actually what cosplay portraits should sort of look like, everywhere in the picture is filled up with details and objects that are relevant to the character himself (haha, it's actually a 'her' again :)-- this is called cross dressing fyi) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The look on her face is also dramatic, but dull at the same time, that brooding, indifferent yet slightly evil feel, around the same as the character that she is dressing up as.</div>

ARTIST INFLUENCE ON ARTWORKS</h2>
<br />
<div>
I didn't post any artworks that have been influenced by him (YET), but I did draw a few surrealist artworks...<br />
</div>
<div>
I think one of the things that I liked about Salvador Dali was his gruesome yet honest portrayal (at least i think it was honest) of his unconscious dreams. He infused his horrible scenes with an elegance. Well, to demonstrate what i mean, here are some of his artworks:</div>

As can be seen, there is fused with a smooth fluidity that makes the pictures looks elegant and refined. He blends his brushstrokes and the lines into the picture. Also, there is also use of much contrast and dynamism that makes the surrealist effect stand out even more. I mean, i tried to make some chicken sketches of surrealism art and it was truly difficult to do. Chicken sketches, as in really, chicken sketches. The elements were not deeply incorporated into the subject and the contrasting subjects did not blend well together as a concept. They looked more like an irrational or spontaneous mix of a few objects that represented a very blatant expression. Sigh* Of course, they were mostly angsty sketches, but not embedded with as much non-superficial emotions as Dali's works, which always seem to be able to reflect his inner self through the chaos that he paints. Dali truly embodies the classic Surrealist style.</div>

The Autumn Cannibalism, 1936</h1>

<div>
This is by far my most favorite piece from Salvador Dali- this is the work that made me fall in love with the Surrealist movement. I guess the grisly yet well presented theme appeals to me-- it seems like her has combined traditional oil painting with slightly stylized figures-- I lovehow he draws everything with a sense of unity- like everything is connected to everything else, yet portrays the distortion of two figures at once in a really really well-planned composition. <br />
<br />
I love the way he paints the body parts and highlighted the boniness of the equally grimley hands with dynamic contrasts, but not making the hands look too sudden. Furthermore, who could have thought that a yellowish hue would give the picture such a sense of alarm and trepidation? Not to mention, pure, unadulterated awe. It's amazing, how <em>everything</em> is in that same hue- even the red. It looks like a picture that had originally been planned for grayscale, but instead, it changed to a soft yellow-scale. The impressive thing was that the colors are expertly mixed and the colors don't look raw and rough, but smooth and blended.<br />
<br />
It's amazing, huh? I don't think I could ever replicate this on my own... I mean, who could?<br />
Dali is awesome.</div>

MY FAVOURITE JAPANESE ROCK BAND- THE AWESOMEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD AND YES I'M CONSIDERING NIRVANA, MUSE AND THE LIKES.<br />
<br />
<h3>
GAZETTE'S INFLUENCE ON MY FILMMAKING</h3>
They have been quite an inspiration for me conceiving my video ideas.<br />
For one, before, when I was still considering if I should do video for my coursework-- haha, i've come a long way since then isn't it? :) feeling that wave of pride that comes from progress and improvement.<br />
Anyway, why i said that they were an influence-- Because after watching their videos, I've come to an epiphany on how to make my video idea (s) work.<br />
<br />
Especially watching this video (the one I posted above, 'Before I Decay <3') - it was as if some veil had been lifted and a bullet train of thoughts and realizations was revealed.<br />
I realized that:<br />
<br />
In order to make a video seem more professional, so as to speak, and also to compile a video that was both visually appealing and climatic one had to take note of the below tips:<br />
<br />
<b>1. </b>Get a good camera. I think one cannot stress how important that is for a clear video. The visuals cannot get in the way of the message of the film and must strive to enhance it.<br />
My previous artist inspiration seems also to agree with this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/zG4evncCzSg?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
try: 1:06<br />
Both Ien Chi and Gazette had major influences on my video coursework (and gazette on my artworks, but that's for later :))<br />
<br />
<b>2. </b>Recorded sound is much better than recording with your camera/videocam<br />
That is. Unless you've got a mic and you've invested a few 00s in it. Then oh well, by all means, but I realized that I would be speaking during filming (not exactly professional but what the hey=='') so that wouldn't work and unless I wanted my characters to speak, it wouldn't be that big of a problem.<br />
<br />
<b>3. </b>To make films look more presentable (unless you're going for that organic looks, but which is what I have always been against), a tripod is an ABSOLUTE NECCESSITY.<br />
Even if Gazette's music videos were "jittery", but they were obviously on purpose and were designed to have that kind of artistic effect.<br />
<br />
<b>4. </b>The most crucial point that I concluded, was to cut cut cut. That means to cut small parts and in video, there was also a freedom of usage of clips. As weird and as unbelievable that sounds, but of course, it must still be cohesive. Kinda contradictory?<br />
Basically in fast cuts, one can anyhow choose whatever clips you want to use-- but they must be random variations of the same kind of action, also the same mood, and reflects the purpose of the clips. Not truly random ha. Like selective randomness?<br />
yup. That was what I did in the last few minutes of my coursework video:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/fzbSWYUiVAA?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
try 4.58 onwards to illustrate what I mean<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the clips must be really shot if one wanted that excitable effect-- I literally counted the seconds of one clip (between cut to cut) in the Gazette music video and realized that there were literally <b>no </b>clips that were more than 2 seconds long. Literally. And yup, that's one great influence~<br />
<br />
<b>5. </b>Finally, was that it would not be that weird (as I had previously thought it <i>might</i> be) to suddenly put in comparison videos. As seen in the Gazette MV above, there were random snapshots of other scenery and switching of scenes at a rapid rate and so I was thinking, I could do that! And by making the 'comparisons' fast (and furious, heh), they would sort of blend into the video and you can see all of that in my video.<br />
<br />
Ok I guess that's all! :)Sv_Rxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01210233239885241066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202642100952272768.post-56110081393662553082012-09-12T20:40:00.000-07:002012-09-12T23:42:44.642-07:00PHOTOGRAPHY #3: Canada Pictures (Sony Compact Camera)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<h2>
IN CANADA THROUGH SONY'S EYES</h2>
The pictures below are all taken with a Compact Digital Sony Camera that was in my house for like, 7-8 years?<br />
The thing with compact digital camera is that there is no way to adjust the apertures, the iso settings and things like shutter speed as precisely as semi-pro dslrs, if not at all. There are only general settings like pm, am, night time etc. not too useful though.<br />
<br />
But anyway, in these cases, one can only depend on nice lighting, composition and the subjects to make the picture look pleasant, clear, and artistic, if i might add.<br />
<br />
These were selected pictures out of the many many that I took while my family and myself were in Vancouver BC, Canada. The scenery there was just awfully beautiful and i felt so inspired every time i took up the camera and pointed at the scene. The image reflected on the viewfinder of the camera are sometimes even more appealing than the real scene. That freedom that i experienced when i was there, allowed me too let my artistic side a little looser than normally. Furthermore, there was so much natural exquisiteness prevalent everywhere that I felt somewhat of an <i> obligation </i> to capture it down and to present the most graceful side of the scenery and to freeze it in its best moment for time eternal.<br />
<br />
So here are the pictures I took<br />
<br />

The background is dark and moody, but the foreground hints of the greenery surrounding my parents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like that the leaves look like a darker shade, and that my parents' faces are the most illuminated, bringing a central focus to the picture. Furthermore, this picture emanates unity, because my parents' bodies seem to blend right into the forest. Of course, it did help that they were wearing dark blue, green and brown.</div>

All the colors look more vivid and there is high contrast -- reminds me of chiaroscuro actually, but not as dramatic, definitely.</div>

Again, the tree and even its branches have framed the picture subtly, bringing balance to the picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The way that the tree branch arches over the subject, then connects subtly to the clouds in the sky leads the viewers eyes around the picture and creates a sense of circular movement about the picture, making it feel more dynamic.</div>

<h3>
DESIGN FOR CHOIR CONCERT TICKET 2012</h3>
This year, I have been in charge of designing the choir concert tickets for my cca's concert this year:<br />
Euphony-- which means like a pleasant combination of sounds/happiness etc. harmony of sounds.<br />
<br />
I tried to make the ticket very simple and precise, and to the point, not like my other designs, which were slightly too complicated to make out the main point.<br />
Zen, people, zen and minimalist designs work wonders. Either that or extreme overload of details. After all, isn't life just full of extremities?<br />
<br />
I combined:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

- Then the jackson-polluck inspired ink splatters with bright, celebratory colors and splattered in lightly connecting splashes.-- one of the main reasons why I chose this is a background that I deem appropriate and fitting is because, this is very decorative, very vivid and it does not have a central focus.<br />
The focus should have been the title of the concert "Euphony", not anything else. So, I specially chose such a purely dynamic background to add an 'overload of details', until one cannot see anything in it, then contrast it to condensed letters that are the main subject of the ticket<br />
<br />
Here's the final product:<br />
As can be seen, Euphony is clearly imprinted in the mess of a background and the background, in fact, makes it stands out even more.<br />
There is also a small text box, put right at the side of the ticket, with simple block, white, letters -- both efficiently and informative at the same time, and also, it does not deviate much attention from the title in the upper-middle section of the ticket.<br />
<br />
* 'Euphony' was not put at the middle, because that would look too stiff and the side text box would be slightly too squashed and unprofessional, and besides, putting it in the upper-middle section would make it easier for people's eyes to be directed to the top of the ticket, instead having to look down.<br />
Perhaps it might be more comfortable to see too.<br />

A second, even more minimalist version (which was not chosen by the teacher)<br />
Sort of like a "negative" version of the final design above.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Haha she likes taking pictures... so I will always routinely help her take a few photos in this, well, "photo corner" of my house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think one thing that I did wrong in these few times, were to position her too close to the middle-- this takes away the fluidity and composition that was supposed to be in pictures ideally. By positioning the subject too close would make the subject too stone-ish, especially if the subject is directly facing the camera. There stems the 'one third rule' that is the basic rule of all photographs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(my one and only love)<br />
<br />
This was a sudden inspiration. I shot this during a little break that I gave myself during the filming of my coursework at Hsi Chien's House.<br />
The lighting was so incredibly clear and the cat was also docile, but it looked like it was muling over some thoughts- hey who said cats can't do that?<br />

<br />
The first picture is actually my favorite because it betrays a sort of personality about this cat.<br />
And it looks contrastingly cute and feline at the same time- like soft and hard characteristics of animals.<br />
<br />
This can also be a demonstration of how good lighting can result in clearer pictures (so clear you can even see individual lumps of fur) and how a good camera works wonders. I also liked that I set my aperture lower, so only the frontal face of the cat looked clear, while the rest become blurred and soft, but giving that fur-like texture to the picture. The fur on the body of the cat also seems like some kind of nuanced wave and the gradient and blend of colors that nature has painted so detailedly on the cat can also be portrayed rather vividly in this picture.<br />
<br />
Of course, I'm also going to say a little about my bias-ness towards Nikon- this is why I love nikon, because it captures the essence of nature in its neutrality, while Canon leans towards the intensely vivid side of nature and tends to blend bright colors together with less detail-- making the colors popping in your face. Alright, some people like that (I mean, my friend Grace, has a Canon and my school is like some avid supporter of Canon), but I like how Nikon presents its pictures more honestly and in that honesty, comes the true beauty and the tiresome details of nature, which all adds up together in the perfect blend of complication and simplicity.<br />
<br />
And so goes my take on the everlasting dichotomy of Nikon and Canon.<br />
<br />
uh, Peace Out :)<br />

<div>
-Description-</div>
<div>
This is actually an art project for my school, which is about the "crimes of humanity", where our intellect, our pride as a human, and our greed have gone against our humanity. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another "sin" which we are all guilty of is the sin of apathy, ignorance (voluntary or involuntary) and inaction, and we have all encouraged these abuses of animals, of nature and ultimately, the earth in our day-to-day lives. And this is a reminder that we will reap what we sow- our actions will come back to hit us in a not-so-faraway future. What we have originally taken for granted will be gone and the consequences will hit us, all of us, in ways worse than what we can imagine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To save ourselves, we need to learn to save the earth and to restore our humanity.</div>

--------------</div>
<div>
Some little facts about the video:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was done with a $0 budget and only 2 sheets of newspaper and trash created by the subway meal was thrown away.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The main subject is just my friend who volunteered to be the 'actress' but has no acting experience prior to this film. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Time used:</div>
<div>
Pre-Production: Around 3 weeks (on-off 40 hours plus)</div>
<div>
Production:3 days of shooting (around 15 hours)</div>
<div>
Post-production About 3 full weeks of editing (around 150 hours plus)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tripod was lent from school.</div>
<div>
Camera used was my own: Nikon d7000 (not too ideal for video but does a great job nonetheless)</div>
<div>
Regrettably, i forgot to put in parts about air pollution but i had already timed the audio and everything, so it was too late.</div>

** see that nested sequence whitish thing??<br />
that was what saved my life for the real cool compilation parts- the rewind to the future then rewind back..<br />
** I think at the end of the day i created around 24 sequences to edit the films and the audio, then about 12 titles because i kept screwing them up (titles for the end of the film:))<br />
<br />
<br />
Haha, the good times eh. :)</div>
<div>
Yes, it was hard hard hard work. But i think it was really really worth it.<br />
Why i said it was hard work? because i have been really pressed for time, like i said in the previous previous post, exam,musical, piano.<br />
<br />
I started filming on the 4th week of June holidays. The 3rd week i used it to prepare and draw out the storyboard (as can be seen below, too). Prior to all that i did around 2 testshots to familiarise myself with the camera, the tripod and the program itself. The first ended up kinda screwed? But the second testshot (with my mum), i edited using Premiere, <em>not iMovie</em>, thankgod, and it began to look like sth. <br />
yay.<br />
<br />
And anyways, then BAM came the (no adjectives) musical. The one that involved a bunch of outside "pros", the whole school and of course a large sum of money. Like, really large- around 6 "0"s. Yes. For a school musical. No comment.<br />
But that was how big it was. <br />
And I remember during each musical prac, because I would be waiting for around 95% of the time, I would sneak off into the mac lab and draw storyboards or edit the film blah blah blah. <br />
And when it was nearing the actual performance, we had to stay back untill around 10 pm every rehearsal, so I, er, snuck off again and snuck into the mac lab by myself without switching on any lights, for fear that some teacher might chase me off. Haha i specially chose the most 'hidden' spot in the mac lab so anybody coming in or going out won't really see me.<br />
<br />
Yup, so that was how i completed my <em>first </em>edit.<br />
Oh and before the first edit, i remember staying at my friends' house until 9.30pm to finish up the second session of filming. And my dad had to fetch and my mum was like reprimanding me again..<br />
Anyway, here it is, also uploaded on youtube:<br />

<br />
<br />
What a big difference the extra videos and the audio (esp the audio) makes right?<br />
Then the second editing, where i had to download all the comparison videos and the soundtrack which really made the change in the mood- to another more serious and dramatic atmosphere.<br />
The second edit took quite a long time because sometimes i couldnt use a few videos, and i had to speed a few up because the comparisons needed to be short, precise and impactful. Imagine cutting 0.05 sec from about a 5 min video. Not that hard, but i modified lots of parts.<br />
I also had to align everything after it was done.<br />
I finished the comparison parts on the wednesday or was it thursday? o.o of the september holidays. Yes. I came back during september holidays (oh, what did that word mean again? *sarcasm), like last year, everyday until 8-8.30pm to finish up my coursework.<br />
Here's the second edit:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Another difference eh? ^^<br />
<br />
Alright, I won't deny it, I kinda liked being in school and buying my lunch & dinner at 9 am then eating at the times i deemed fit, and the whole feeling of myself controlling my life. I was actually rather focused and had the utmost support (which I am truly thankful of) of other AEP-ers and General Art Programme students who were also coming back to school to wrap up their coursework and prep boards. <br />
Especially the June and Amy twin sisters, who formed the majority of my good memories of the long and not really boring days of staying back, and both who gave me advice (esp. Amy :)) on my coursework. Thank you!<br />
And also, Amy, thanks so much for suggesting songs and staying by my side and also giving me so much attention - which you didn't even have to in the first place! <3 You made my days and nights and afternoons (which were filled with Totally Spies Episodes at lunchtime) fun and enjoyable. <br />
If not, I might have had a bad experience with my coursework- and I truly wanted to avoid that.<br />
<br />
Anyway, moving on the third edit... the audio~~~It was so so so difficult- I decided against recording sounds and everything because one, all the sounds would have been time-consuming and difficult to reproduce. Thus, I decided to search the web- it was easier and more convenient (since I also had no prior experience of the complicated recorder borrowed from the school). Of course, it was also time-consuming but it wasn't the most difficult part yet-- The most difficult part was to find the main track of the video. <br />
Criteria: Epic, Dramatic, Has the calm before the storm feeling, Changes keys, Has a clear beat, Not too happy, Not too sad either, Complicated, Is unique, No singing voices (but chorus is ok), Fast, Not too overdone either etc. <br />
<br />
And so what did I do? I checked two steps from hell (epic cinematic music creators) but only found very few tracks that were actually suitable, then I looked to Japan (<3 LOVE) and found the majority of my tracks there. I can always trust Japan to have what I am looking for. (<33333 looovvvee)<br />
As expected.<br />
Anyway, but I must credit Amy for both 2 main tracks that I used for introducing Touhou Project and the two songs- which fit the song so perfectly!!More than I could imagine! :D<br />
<br />
The editing of audio was in a word, Horrendous, in 2 words, REALLY TROUBLESOME. I had to cut and loop the tracks manually, but not blindly of course, because like some 'breaks' like a dip to white, or a dip to black in the video, or at some important scene (s) i needed to put an "Accent" <em>exactly</em> at that place to keep up the mood. None of the songs actually fit like a glove of course, I literally sewed parts of the song together and smoothened out all the kirks, with much help from Amy of course! This involved of like cutting, fading, layering, constant power (this little thing works like a freaking charm- this is the thing that pulled most of the tracks together perfectly <3 another love for this) and looping of course. It was tiring and tiresome, but it was really really worth it.<br />
<br />
I remember on Friday Night, at around 7.30 pm plus, I was editing non-stop and I finally realised I almost covered the whole video with tracks and I just collapsed, with my head on one roller-chair and my body on another chair and exclaimed- OMG I FINISHED 95% OF MY VIDEO! <br />
And June and Amy were like- hey that's great!! :D<br />
<br />
And I went to the Mac Lab, which was practically becoming my second home, not that I was complaining hello~ And it already around 1.30 pm because in the morning we had some compulsory Chinese HSK Exam. Oh well. C'est la vie.<br />
And it was around 5.45 pm that I was editing and clearing any random background parts-- this was actually kind of difficult as I had to make the a few part gradually softer, so the volume adjustment was troublesome as I needed to do the volume bit by bit. Oh god.<br />
And like, as I said, around 5.45 pm, after I edited the last parts and made it a subtle crescendo (as Amy suggested :)), I suddenly reached an epiphany.<br />
<br />
I FINISHED MY FRIGGIN COURSEWORK VIDEO PROJECT!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
And.. I went around the mac lab making a ruckus and annoucing to everyone with such joy. It just came to me so suddenly. I had been so terribly focused on editing that day, I think I had even forgot that I was supposed to finish it!!<br />
<br />
That moment was truly the most most precious of all the moments I have experienced.<br />
Scroll up to see the final product.. Again ^w^<br />
<br />
-END-<br />
<br />
**I'm really really satisfied with my video! But i think i could have used a better video camera, or played back some of the videos on the spot, as some crucial scenes were slightly blur. Sigh.. and also, some scenes, I didn't really take care of the lighting and the edit was a little .. wierd.<br />
Oh well bye guys!!! <3<br />
** btw this was how my screen looked like after everything:<br />

i feel as if it's so darned hard to be a <em>studying student</em> in nanyang.<br />
ok. i came here after reading my sdms results, feedbacks etcetc.<br />
and i think i was a little hurt.<br />
ok. actually i should not be hurt shouldn't i? i mean if i get bad results, i get not-too-good feedback from like..... most of the teachers that actually bothered to comment. (or could not resist commenting)-- then it's all my fault isn't it? because this is just a reflection of my behaviour isn't it. if i looked in the mirror and i looked bad, that means <em>i </em>looked bad doesn't it (and vice versa). <br />
<br />
but still, i can't help but feel a little overwhelmed, a little choked up, like.. someone put a shackled on my head (i think you actually can do that?) and i'm just in my little cell in my mind, unable to free myself from, me. I can't say how many times i've wanted to fly away from myself, to escape my earthly and humanly bonds and just be free. no. not suicide.<br />
<br />
but back to the topic.<br />
i think i felt a little disappointed, at myself. yup that's what.<br />
because after all, i've been through quite a fair bit this year. first, like the year went of with a , not really a good start, then it was the musical for almost everyday in the last 2 weeks of june holidays and then a downhill slope for the musical, which also clashed with my studies, my all-important piano exams and of course, my all-important aep coursework project. -- notice how studies have been down graded from all-important.<br />
i mean how can you even be a student when you're expected by your piano and theory teacher to be some full-time piano student, by my aep teacher, as a full-time art student and by my, well, teachers to be a full-time student? oh not to mention, my cca, for being, wel, thankfully, a half-time choirister. <br />
ok. major complaint session.<br />
<br />
but, yeah, it's true and i think everything's just crashing down on me because now my mum is like saying that she regrets letting me join aep, when actually, i don't at all because i truly like art (i'm not sure how near "love" is though) and i don't regret at all. <br />

Well, I think I have pretty good reasons...<br />
1. The/Le musical. (fin. on Aug 18)<br />
2. My piano exam (ABRSM Diploma- fin. on Sep. 04)<br />
<br />
So that's pretty good reasons huh :) btw I finished the first edit on like the <b>first of Aug</b>!!!!<br />
That's like awesomely fast alright~<br />
<br />
And everything was just put on hold for ... le musicale~<br />
sigh...<br />
<br />
And when I started editing <i>seriously </i>again, it was already like what, the friggin 22 Aug!!!!<br />
gawd. o.o<br />
<br />
But all I was left was my 8 boards, the rest of the "comparison videos" (you'll see what I mean when I get there) and the sounds<br />
<br />
The comparison videos are actually the "crux" of the whole project-- that's like the whole point of the video actually.... The sounds are also really important-- imagine transformers without any sound, or 300 (now echo the scene where the guy goes "this is sparta" in your head without the sound).<br />
Big difference from the first edit, that's all I can say :)<br />
<br />
Ok, the reason why I'm blogging today is because I have finished THE SECOND EDIT BANZAI!!!!!<br />

lol:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I put in all the comparison videos and i think it made a really huge difference... because the mood now is more... intense? more exciting and "action-packed" more or less?? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yup, and it's also longer, which will mean it's around... 10 min? ^^ Again, highly estimated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I downloaded all the videos from youtube (obviously) and imported them into Premiere Pro.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I cut all those itty bitty bits and by itty bitty bits, I mean like 0.35 second clips =='' or even shorter, or longer, then I made it short by tweaking the time and duration</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think film editing is like quite tiring... there must be at least a thousand clips in all my sequences and to put them all together coherently and also, to apply effects, like a simple one to make some of the bright clips darker, I need to make use of brightness and contrast, color balance, color balance (HLS) and some other stuff for <i>each </i>clip of a measly 0.50 seconds average - manipulate the mid tones, the shadows and the highlights for <i>each </i>clip to make them look convincing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh this is so troublesome...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
これじゃめんどくせえええええええええ〜〜</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and to top it off, I need to do the sound which is like the finishing touches (like the shoes and bags and accessories to the body and clothes) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sound is really really hard to do because the scenes have to match and I, frankly, am still not really clear on how to go about matching the sounds to the sudden comparison videos... and what sounds/music should i use??? ><''</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
darn...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
ahwell, time will tell eh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
tomorw, go back to my second home, the mac lab <3 ( hello i don't mind it being my second home actually haha~) and try to figure it out with some spicy seaweed~ yeahhhhh</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And hopefully, it'll turn out as fab as the 2nd edit of the video (fab-- influence from totally spies! <3)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Has just finished filming the WHOLE of my aep coursework!! of course, post-production is actually the bulk of the work.. but this is one BIG leap forward!!<br />
I have also compiled a playlist of videos on youtube to be put into my video as the reflection of "consequences" of each action that carries significance in the video.<br />
All that I have left is to download the videos and cut, compile, edit them into the video...<br />
And gather all the sounds too. oh gawd... and I have piano exams soon... damnit.<br />
<br />
Staying at school until 10 today!<br />
Ain't it glorious?<br />

<b><br /></b><br />
First post for July >:D .....<br />
Anyway, I have finished filming the first half of the video. But, well, until now, not really anybody knows for sure what my storyline is, so here is my storyboard (2nd edition), arranged as after i filmed the first half, i realized that i had to tweak a few things and arrange the storyboard so that is was clearer for me and my teacher to .. assess?<br />
Yup.<br />
It's quite abstract. Practically no descriptions and words anyway.<br />
So it goes like this:<br />

It might be a little cheesy... just saying :0</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But i didn't draw in the parts that I'm gonna add- for almost every action there is a consequence (ACTION REACTION)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And i will be illustrating the consequence via contrasting the scene with a scene in real life, away from the reality that we know-- the inconvenient truth </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
mm, it's kinda hard to explain.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
but anyway, there are a lot of symbols in the video.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
the two main ones are:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. The plant</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-- represents love, hope</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. The newspaper</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-- represents ignorance, rather, <i>chosen ignorance, </i>changing paradigms (perhaps)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you're curious about the title... there is none yet!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
haha if you want, can post any suggestions in the comments (but oh who am i kidding, i don't even have any readers... just my teacher.... ^3^)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But, the point is, i think i'll think of the title last... i like to start with the idea, do developments, start working out the idea, then touch up on developments, editing and finalizing the work, finalize developments and finally, the final touch ups that to me are not that important-- like the title :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
no wonder my english teacher always says i have no consistent train of thought...==''</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyways, that's all for the update for now! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
will be posting up progresses in the video soon!!</div>

RENE MAGRITTE INFLUENCED-- MY OWN VERSION OF "PERSONAL VALUES"</h2>
<div>
This will be a not-too-long post as I do not have much time to write such a LOOONG and detailed one. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>MY MOTHER'S PERSONAL VALUES</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Honestly, I do not know why I keep using my mother as my model. She's not in it, but her room and her stuff is. Well, it's the most convenient I guess. During the day my room's kinda messy so it's best to photograph her room and her stuff as she doesn't do her work in her room. So it's simpler to photoshop things in. I will later explain, what the "values" are.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBEe-_8iVpYgx6OTPfPSh38huSU3_tGhyphenhyphen3ge1pw9fShNH_-lO1cVc5IgyaXTOW4fKkM1suvqwdMXM4stvisG8cM2e5V_SygDo49CHJBD6_YoUDuNFzLJyiFfECOibGYYYSOtsjxrAi05s9/s1600/blogspot+picture+rene+magritte.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBEe-_8iVpYgx6OTPfPSh38huSU3_tGhyphenhyphen3ge1pw9fShNH_-lO1cVc5IgyaXTOW4fKkM1suvqwdMXM4stvisG8cM2e5V_SygDo49CHJBD6_YoUDuNFzLJyiFfECOibGYYYSOtsjxrAi05s9/s640/blogspot+picture+rene+magritte.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yes. this wasn't very well done, but i didn't really know much of the more... complex tools of photoshop. And I always seemed to not get the effects that they teach you in the effects tutorials online. THUS.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Noob//</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I figured it was still ok. I guess. The size just made it seem.. strange.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Believe me, for a noob like me, even this wasn't that easy and this actually took some time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I think main thing was to shoot them all in the same light, thus making it more natural. Lighting is one of the most important aspects of the picture or video. The same lighting = same category, that's how we see things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok. First, starting from the bottom left hand corner, my mother's eye drop medication.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Value": Whenever she starts feeling stressed or if she's not having a good day or some predicament or other, she might have a red eye/slight infection. Sometimes it clears up all on its own and sometimes it gets worse. This has been going on ever since I knew her. (LOL! That's what I said >:D) Nothing too serious, but she has been using this as far as I remember. Her eye always acts up, so this has quite a lot of importance, or should I say parts to play in her life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, the sock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Value": She's been wearing the sock as far back as I can remember too. A sign of her prudence. It's practically void of any elasticity at all, but it does its function ok-- keeps the foot warm and stuff. She finds it cold at night, go figure. But anyway, she wears this pair of socks when she's asleep everyday for the past 10++ years. Doesn't excessively change it at all. And that's her nature.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, the telephone almost as big as the bed itself. (like wow)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Value": Since I was small, she told me that two best things she likes to do is... sleep and call. Typical girl thing to do I guess. Not much of the "call" now, as, maybe she's just been busier. But perhaps, that time, I was still kinda small, so she can't really connect with me or have some more or less grown up talk with me, so she liked to call people and usually she would be on the phone for hours. I liked that actually, because I didn't want her bothering me, even when I was small. Lol. So, therein lies the value. Anyway, the phone has remained in our house for almost a decade already.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, the flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Value": Well, this doesn't have <i>that </i>much value, thus it isn't very big. Yes yes, I'm a shallow person so the more the value, the bigger it is. Ie. value is proportionate to ... size? o.o The flowers I bought 1-2 years back for mothers day, where I bought some fake flowers (hey. It's better than real flowers eh? ^^) and wrote a card and painted the card, as a mother's day present. To this day, it has decorated our television stand. But anyway, a small way of showing my mother that (when i'm not pissed) I do care for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, the name tag. Mine, to be precise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Value": It represents me, in a minimalist way. Or objective way. And also, she has also had a part in this as she was the one who named me "Svena". And anyway, it is absolutely undeniable that I have had a great impact and I play a really great role in her life. I think, well, there are no suitable short words to describe this. As an only daughter/ only child, whose child (who still stays with them), does not have such a significance in their lives? Anyway off point, my mother cares for my a lot a lot. Tremendously and absolutely. She has sacrificed so much for me- for me, who has so much "value" in her life. (yes i'm rambling. i'm sorry.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Warning!!! Rant!! *</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I should have made the items more 3D to fit in the bed and the room, but truthfully, i'm not sure if i can accomplish that if my life was dependent on it. I'm not a tech loser. I'm generally quite ok with techy things. (Hello, premiere and nikon dslrs and other stuff..) But photoshop, is just well, an exception. Not that I always had much motivation to learn about it. It was always my phobia cos i sucked at it so much. Anyway, off topic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think that this had a sort of futuristic feel and is duh, surrealistic. It sort of feels like this should belong in some video game scene or something. =='' But, oh well, as the modern version, perhaps it should feel like this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

AEP COURSEWORK PREPWORK<br />PRE-PRODUCTION VIDEO TESTSHOT NO.2 !!!!</h2>
<i>With me as the photographer, the editor, producer.</i><br />
<i>With my mum as my "model"</i><br />
<br />
OK!! Finally.. another update on my coursework developments.. blog assignments are killing me slowly....<br />
XXXXXX<br />
<br />
Anyways, one the art teachers at my school recommended me to use "Premiere Pro"(DAT AWESOME PROGRAMME) instead of iMovie. Cos' iMovie is much much much too limited for the work that I wanted to do. Premiere Pro, as he said, is similar to photoshop for videos (assuming that i use photoshop a lot or sth, but i don't hehe). But it is. because there are so many things that one can do with Premiere-- like adding layers of videos, audio, effects. Although iMovie is slightly more user-friendly, but it is at most times, troublesome and irritating. Due to its numerous limitations.<br />
<br />
Premiere is, in a word, awesome. And it mirrors Final Cut Pro, which is mostly used for professionals. Lucky the school has Premiere Pro then. But of course, there are a few frustrating parts, because every time you add an effect to a video, you need to render it and rendering takes a long time if your video is like slightly above 1 min. To render the whole video takes about like 7 minutes or sth.. so if my video was 1 hour ... then it would need like 7 hours to render each time after adding an effect... that's like<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>seriously?!?!?!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And, converting it to mov. format is a real pain in the neck cos to convert a 1min 44 sec video, I had to wait around 15-20 minutes when I was seriously in a rush for time. And... the input of text is also hard to use because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and in those cases, you don't actually know why it doesn't work. Furthermore, at first, the school computer wouldn't let me convert the file into video format and only into final cut pro xxm and some other thing ==''''''. And somehow, after I trimmed the whole video (basically removing all the videos and audios that I'm not using in my project and saving a whole set of previewed, rendered and project files in a whole new folder separately) and rendered everything.. AGAIN. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
*yes i'm using rage faces cos i love them. got problem? :D*</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All while i'm in a big rush. Then, finally, I the "export to video" function was... activated should I say? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All those are just minor irritations I guess. Emphasized as i was in a huge rush as it was 7.30pm (I was in school) already and I was supposed to reach home by then... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Other than that, Premiere is really an awesome programme, tons better than iMovie, where files are sometimes lost during the editing, or they conked out. Or, the effects look way too raw then I would have liked it to be. And particularly, there weren't much "layers" one could add to the video and the audio. So I had to work with crappy audio, and was on the verge on tearing my hair out. The only plus to iMovie in my opinion, for larger projects is the easy addition of text inputs in the video. Where as Premiere seems to be more (unnecessarily) complicated in these text additions.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ok, without further ado (oh i'm talking to myself), I'll just plonk the video right here: (although yes, you can just scroll down ignore all the texts and just click on the video....)</div>

So, I basically filmed my mother doing cooking for a lunch at home and I did it using a Nikon d7000 and a tripod loaned from the art room. Without a script or storyboard or anything. Just pure impromptu again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Purporse: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- To familiarize with the use of a tripod (especially all the pan up and down scenes, pan left right, diagonal and so on)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Also, to <i>further</i> familiarize myself with the camera-- smooth zooming and better control with the aperture buttons</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Experiment with different angles of shooting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Experiment with different lighting and scenes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Familiarise myself with Premiere Pro cause i'll be spending tons of time with it after I finish shooting my video</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Experiment with audio editing and background musics</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's all then. I think I'll be posting about the result of Pre-Production soon. Need to start my final immediately...</div>

<br />
Comparing the symbols used:<br />
<br />
In Spying Eyes, there are 3 big symbols used, the "spying eyes" that shoot light beams at Srikandi, scrutinizing her, the blue cloth flowing around the whole picture like and umbilical cord to a foetus and the walls that are like a maze, entrapping her.<br />
<br />
In Broken Column by Frida Kahlo and there are also 4 main symbols. The first being the bandages that are wrapped around her body are like a cage around her, binding her. The nails that are all over her body and even in her face depicts the pain that she is feeling everywhere- her face, her body, her arms and right leg which she covers which a cloth. She has just undergone a spinal surgery, which brings us to another jarring symbol-- which is the broken metal column and the missing cavern of flesh above it. The spine has been replaces with this shaky metal column that seems as if it is on the verge of breaking into rubble. Her surroundings leave her further exposed as the background is barren and cleaved, enhancing her vulnerability and pain.<br />
<br />
There are similarities in the paintings. The symbols in both works work to show the vulnerability and sufferings that the women are going through. There are also common recurrences of the "trapped" theme. Also, both of the works has motifs that make the work surrealistic and unreal, setting in the mindsets of the two women.<br />
<br />
However, the symbols in Frida's "Broken Column" depict more of personal physical pain and emotional torture, while Lucia"s "Spying Eyes" depict more of a mental suffering and a larger way of suffering which is more subtle. Lucia displays a more vulnerable, passive side while Frida displays a more nonconformist and resilient side of her as she stared at the viewer blatantly and boldly, through her pain, crying. The symbols used in Frida's works are more grotesque and are honest, with her psychological and physical struggles rendered explicitly visible throughout the use of distortions of her body, rather than her surroundings as in Lucia's.<br />

<b>composition:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The foreground and the middle ground are not clearly separated. The girl seems to be more of the foreground though. The foreground, middle ground and background, all consists of wall in a zig-zag manner, much like a maze. Lucia Hartini paints Sirkandi sleeping in the midst of this confusion. She is naked, except for a flowing blue cloth wrapped around her body curled in a vulnerable fetal position. The cloth extends from the foreground to the background and beyond. The middle ground consists of the "spying lens", which are eyes that float around, giving this picture a surreal effect. The eyes look straight at her sleeping body, as if "spying" on her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The walls that connect all three grounds are made of red bricks, with many cracks on them, as if signaling their age. The perspective, especially in the middle ground, is slightly distorted, giving the work an uneasiness that is further enhanced by the subject's sleeping body, floating eyes and a mysterious blue cloth wrapped around walls, the ground and the subject. The frontal perspective of the brick walls and Sirkandi's sleeping figure in the foreground cum middle ground does not correspond with the perspective of the background, which to be unnaturally smaller and further away. The orange walls complement the blue, making the blue seem ever brighter, creating a sense of confusion. It is as if the subject is sleeping to escape all this confusion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The background shows many splotches of red that look like bubbling red rivers. The end of the cloth is seen to join with the other end, as if creating an eternal loop of imprisonment. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lucia Hartini's well-blended and invisible brushstrokes with well-mixed colors gives the painting a relatively smooth texture. She uses many obvious lines to indicate cracks in the walls, the direction of the eye, and the flowiness of the cloth. She uses much contrast, especially in the background, where the darkness contrasts with the arbitrarily bright blue. She uses more saturated tones and representational colors. She also uses complementary colors such as blue and orange, and contrasting colors, such as a pure light blue, and dark colors (in the background). It can be seen, especially from the body of the subject that she blends with an hard-edge to it. In my opinion, I feel that Lucia Hartini paints with a freedom and honesty that is sometimes lacking in other modern works. This is her style, where she does not try to imitate great artists' painting style and paints this piece of work in her own way-- using unnaturally bright and stark colors that remain as pure throughout the painting. I can't say I like that style too much, but I respect her being honest with her own style.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>elements of art and principles of design:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Analysing the work using elements of art and principles of design, first I'll start with line. The use of line, as mentioned above is a large component of this work. Lucia Hartini carefully out lines most of the objects with a dark silhouette. The bricks of the walls were brought out by the white lines on the wall. In fact, the wall itself is a form of a line, guiding the way of the viewer's eye movements and framing the picture. The obvious and deep cracks of crumbling walls are also drawn immaculately using black shadows and lines. Another line is the direction of the eye, as pointed out above. From the eyes, there are spectra of light that makes use of lines to define where the eyes are looking at. The eyes have also been outlined with thin black lines to define its form. Last but not least, the flowing blue cloth that drapes around almost everything randomly has its smooth flowiness depicted through the use of shadow lines. When the cloth drapes, twists or floats around, purplish and black lines indicate the small folds of the cloth, making it look light, as if it was floating in space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are more natural shapes used...The figures are simplified, but not too simplified like that of Henri Matisse and also not as detailed and idealistic as those of Old Masters'. The texture of the whole painting seems rather smooth, due to the smooth, flowing and continuous blending that she has done. This accentuates the mysterious mood of the painting. Furthermore, the almost luscious texture of the painting gives the floating cloth an adequate lightness and has an arbitrary floating feel, as if the subject matter of the painting was literally weightless, which is suitable, in my opinion, as the painting seems to be set in a dream-like world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The shapes, however, are subtly disproportionate. Again, the strange perceptions come into play. As mentioned above, but adding on, Srikandi's body is too larger-than-life to be a perfect match with the walls. Perhaps, this is a form of emphasis on the body, that when drawn to be proportionate to the wall, might seem insignificant. Lucia Hartitni is trying to paint herself as the main subject matter, so as the main subject, she should stand out more than the other subject and objects, thus the slightly dramatized depiction.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Furthermore, although i say that the painting seems weightless, there is still more value on the left side than on the right. The picture is highly asymmetrical, unbalanced, even, as the walls are mostly situated to the left of the painting. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is a clear sense of space in this painting, which has been distorted and made larger using the non-uniform perspectives of the painting. There is also a clear distinction of negative and positive spaces being used in this painting. The foreground and middle ground are mostly positive spaces and wholesome, but the background comprises of mostly negative space, which is represented by the excessive use of black as the main background. The use of these same dark shades further makes the mood of the painting seem uneasy and eerie- as if the walls bubble and melt into the never-ending depths of darkenss. The repetition of the same themes and motifs throughout the work also gives the work a dream-like, surreal quality like the eyes, the cloth, the walls and the cracks on the walls. Srikandi, being in the middle of all this confusion seems isolated and different as she has no repetitions. The use of this negative space makes the whole painting seem unreal- as if it were just a dream. Which might be perfectly the scene that Lucia Hartitni wants to depict.</div>

<b>symbolism:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 15px;">She works in a style whose central intellectual interest lies in the workings of the mind. This is apparent </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 15px;">due to the her depiction of a dream-like scene, where she is sleeping and often, like in a dream, the scene is confusing and dark. Even foreboding. The winding walls that surround and that lead to nowhere in particular, just seems to melt in the shadows. The walls perhaps serve as a sort of imaginary and invisible but present- enclosure for her. An almost insurmountable obstacle, except due to the tell-tale, deep and old cracks in the wall, symbolizing a possible change in her surroundings, or perhaps that old mindsets were changing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">She was also in a foetal position, as mentioned before, thus presenting herself as weak and vulnerable- passive. An obeying wife, who bears the weight of her own desires, her family and society's expectations but is haunted by them, so much so that, her work reflects it. She is unlike other surrealists, who question reality and depicts dreams and the unconscious. Her work portrays her changing mindset, her personalities, her development as a woman, mother and human. They central around her "other reality", relating her life in a Javanese society, her concerns and issues, relating them visually, past language barriers. The blue cloth that is predominant in the whole painting seems to be like an umbilical cord, tying </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">her to there rest of the picture.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">Finally, the surreal element- other than the cosmic skies and rough landscapes, the spying eyes that surround her, casting their light beams on her body, scrutinizing her even while she is asleep. These represent society's eyes her personal life. She feels weak and helpless against them and has resigned herself to them. Society, has judged her being a full-time artist and not being a good enough wife. She has also suffered under domestic abuse and verbal abuse at being a catholic in a Javanese society- thus bringing about psychological change, which she has hoped to express in this work.</span></div>
