What about 50 years from now?




I took this picture last year somewhere in Europe. I love this picture since then. You can even see this was the first picture I post for my creative thinking blog also. I love how the blue sky and the white snow makes me feel calm and peaceful, the same feeling when I was up there watching the undescribably beautiful of our mother earth.


In my AIP project, I got the topic Nature/ Human. We did research mostly about global warming. Suddenly I remember about this picture I took and I'm wondering will the beauty of the blue sky and white snow will still be there later on may be 50 years from now?

Since young, I grew up with the passion of creating artworks. Through experience on joining competitions and practicing during my free time I learn many things that now I use to create art pieces. One of the most unforgettable moments of my Art career was the creation of my O level Artwork. Theme “Bunches of Vegetables”. In this Artwork of mine which consist of Design & Technology work and Acrylic painting, I tried to link my family in this Artwork. By cutting gears and linking them together to rotate in which represents a family (My family) working together as one to build a stronger bond (Ropes). I painted my family member portraits on each gear and covered them in bunches of vegetables to represent the link or bond of a family with gears. The artist that inspired me of this painting was “Giuseppe Arcimboldo”.


Carnival


First of all, I would like to describe the picture . This is my 2D project , obviously, you can see,  a beautiful lady in the paper. I trend to present a feeling of carnival so I choose to draw a lady which wear beautiful clothes in carnival. And I consider warm color such as red and orange can make people feel the enthusiasm of the people in carnival.

Secondly,seeing the whole picture, you can find the contrast of black and red. I use black background to highlight the red color , and in order to not giving people too strong feeling , a choose a kind of transparent paper to cover in the picture.
If you look carefully, you will find that I cut this transparent paper into triangles and make up into three angle in order to have a design feel.



In the end, I know this project is not so good, but I still like it because I pay my effort to it.

Life without music............

I can't imagine my life without music, I listen to my iPod almost every single day. Music helps me to forget about the tough day that i had, keeps me awake from the fatigue of a day outside. When i am exercising, listening to up-beat songs that matches the tempo of my exercise gives me the determination to push myself further. On the bus/Mrt, it's essential that i am listening to my iPod to shut down the conversation of strangers around me, giving me a world of my own. Music literally keeps me going.

Left unsaid

These are compilations of the make up that i did in 2011. Since 2010, i have found interest in using another medium as a canvas - and that is my face. I would often reach home after a long day and randomly pick up a brush and use the different make up products to create different looks which are more on the artistic side. Sometimes doing the same thing like others is just too boring. I wanted to experiment more, so i added on even more. Theres this quote that inspires me keep trying, and that is "You'll never know if you never try". I didn't know i would come this far after experimenting with all the different make up looks. My interest for make up grew tremendously and it led me to sign up for a Diploma in Makeup Artistry. I feel that other than just enhancing our appearances, try taking up the eyeliner and draw some lines. It can always depend just on your mood. Without any plans or any decisions, just do it. Just add on along the way, get ideas along the way. 

Our faces are always expressions of oneself, and i believe that these makeup looks can interpret the feelings i had during that period of time. I may not be able to explain it but i know that every stroke we make and every colour we use can depict a story that is left unsaid.

Saint Paul Cathedral , England . An enormous religious sanctuary , exquisite architecture despite it's age . St Paul's famous story was that in the 1900s , the Germans attacked the cathedral and the buildings that surround it it . St Paul is the only buildings that survived . It was truly God's grace . The hints of gold radiates the same essence of when is was first built.
St Paul is history and history  is like wine . The older it is the more we are floored with awe .

The True Happiness that we have lost

"If i had more money, i would be happy. If i had a sport car, i would be happy." Any of these statements ring a bell with you? Nowadays, many of us equate happiness with something we don't have.So we are always looking to the unreal for happiness. In our modern society, money takes an important place to us.But can money brings us happiness? I think there is a lot of arguments between the answer. For me, money is the thing that can only satisfied our desires on materials. Although it can brings us pleasure and joy but not happiness.

Happiness comes from sharing life with those you love and care about. Meeting friends for a cup of coffee, family-outing ,and etc. Simple pleasures in your life have probably given you the most happiness. Life is made up of special moments with special people. You have learn to take those moments,breathe them in, enjoy them, relish them, treasure them.
