What am I? Who am I? Where am I?

ART is a powerful LANGUAGE. It communicates to everyone and anyone. It has the ability to depict personal emotions as well as concerns unknown to anyone in the most truthful manner but yet on the other hand, not being literal which therefore allow the audiences to perceive it in accordance to their knowledge. The face has always been an interesting form to me as everyone has got his/her own face. Often, the face shows the history and background of oneself. To put up a front, to disguise, to apply make up are examples of self concealed. One will recognised the smiling face of a man constantly throughout my artworks. Some wonders if the smile is a reflection of complete joy, in a state of total denial or maybe to disguise anxiety. Perhaps it is a reflection of total pleasure or yet it might just be the laugh of an idiot. By restricting my style, I self imposed limits, allowing communication to audiences on a wide subject.

Artworks. . .

Been a busy week catching up with assignments and stuffs. One good thing happen was that i sent my work back to singapore, one of the gallery, for the alfresco- landscape exhibition. As it was my first time sending works oversea by myself, naturally there'll be hiccups along the way which i thought was good for me. at least i get to learn things and problem solving along the way. bought insurance on it and sent by express international courier which takes 2-4working days. was quite happy and glad that the fellow over the counter help me out much. Thank you to whoever it was ! :P oh well, things been going on smoothly which im quite sastified about it. Be it issues with my boy, work and home, everythings going on well. thats good!

alrighto, gotta "Chao" already!

Cheers~

Fustrating !

I understand you are concerned about alvin and me (our relationship). However, it would do me alot of good should you not get involved in our issues. Its not that i dont appreciate it, but there are things i would want to keep it just between me and alvin. I do not wish to have to account to you, explain to you whatever is going on. I will let you know everything when issues have been solved or passed and not at the instant when it occured! Im equally confused and am trying hard to straighten things out.Nothing is coming out even if you get involved in it. Nice guy doesnt mean its good for me.

Form my point of view:

I need him to learn to respect my privacy. Going into my account and viewing info/ messages is not what deemed right. Im fustrated when he keeps probing non stop about the same issues he have asked thousands of times,which ive given him my explaination! Should he not buy my explaination then dont ask! Should he ask then dont doubt. Should he still have issues to clarify, i'll be more than willing to explained. But it seems to me that he's so wishy washy, keep harping on the same issues over and over again, which really pissed me off. He can call me selfish or whatever, but i believe everyone needs some time alone, a reasonable amount of personal time. I want to keep a part of myself to just me, myself and melinda. I do not know if he understand what it means! but its just a part of me that i do not wish to share with anyone else. I had never once said he didnt do enough for me,in actual fact, he did more than enough for me. I appreciate every single thing he did for me. I truely do!

Busy week

Hi guys,

Im back blogging after weeks of disapperance. heheh:) Oh well, Its been a fantastic week[ though quite busy],but i enjoyed myself every moment here. There is this feeling inside of me which no amount of words can describe. Lying on the grass[out in the field], by the lake, in the middle of the night! Watching ducks walding around, stars shining brightly and of course with the company of a close pal. We spent 3hrs out there in the cold to gaze at stars[silly ehz?]. hahah! but all in all i had a great time bonding with her.

Alright, back to updating you guys about school~
hmm... School has been good. pump out lots of artwork for the past few days. And my nightmare has finally com! ART THEORY!! hahaha! Yea, went to the website to see if my essay questions are out, and........YES, its out!! Gosh! There were 10questions for me to choose from, and i guess i chose the easiest out of all? Maybe its the way they phrase their questions, it seems much more easier!! hahah!

And here is my essay question:

". Discuss the ways in which Expressionist artists emphasised emotional and spiritual states in their work."

Sounds easy ehz? hahahah! But oh well, 1500words for us to write thats all. Short, fleshy detailed essay! hahah! Coool!!

"giggle"....

I enjoyed Peter Jordan's drawing session every week! He's gentle, humble and hehehhe~
He's amazing! I like the way he goes around and guide students in the drawings. He speaks gently and calmly. Its fabulous to learn from him. We had a chat today. He asked to see my works one day and maybe we can chat about art? Alright enough of the, 40odd yrs old[ im guessing ], peter jordan!
We had a exchange session with some of the year 2 students. they crash over at our place and we drew life models today. i do see quite a few interesting drawing approach~ it was a fabulous time spent the whole day. I do actually hope the day doesnt end so fast. Its a shame to end so early [3pm]. I had wished it lasted slightly longer. After which, was the pizza gathering session for the painting department. chips, pizzas, nuts, wine, cheese~ everything was there! atmosphere, enviroment as well as the companys were great too! After the gathering, we make our way down to the post-graduates studio which is a 10mins walk away from school. It was really quiet. Fantastic place!

Hah! i am tired~ slept really late last night. so im gonna go catch some rest now! After all, tomorrow's sat! aint got any lessons, might head out with the rest of friends for some bonding session later in the night! Time spent here is amazing, and no amount of words can describe how much i love the journey i've spent here, and gonna be spending for the next 3yrs.

I love you guys,
I love you, sweetie
and.......
Im HAPPY~ (*!*)

Hey guys,

I cant help but update what i saw yesterday!

Can anyone actually buy the story- Having a dog roaming free in a art gallery?

I am damm sure there isnt one gallery in Singapore that has a dog roaming around in its premises~ I SAW it with my own eyes yesterday!!! COOL~ I was so amazed! I went down to the "Helen Maxwell Gallery" yesterday to check out the recent artist's artwork, and when i entered the gallery i saw the dog playing with its toys right in the middle of the gallery space, people appreciating the artwork. It is as though the dog is part of the crowd! it sits in as one~ WOW!!! At that instant, i was really taken aback~ but then again, its really nice, i really loved it! [the whole settings]

Okay, enough of yesterday! Now lets talk about today! I had quite a "Bad Day" today! :(
hah! It was 3D object and image core Studies. playing around with paper/ cardboards and other materials.

1st: I got many paper cuts on the hand[ it hurts when you run them under water]
2nd: I accidentally hit my leg against the table leg[ damm dumb la]
3rd: For no reason, my room alarm rang so loudly. I step onto the bed to release the casing and the next moment, i found myself on the Floor! :( [Shucks~] Hurts badly! Luckily, its just some abrasion.

Haiz~ but well oh well, i am enjoying every moment here. Good enviroment and i am absorning as much as i can from the lecturers! so you guys out there, Do keep in contact, and i miss you all!

Cheers

It was Canberra day yesterday. So it also means i had a long weekend. Spent most of my time, painting at home as well as reading up my theory notes. Not to mention, as usual, the rest of them did come over to my place. As you can see, im currently brain dead~ aint functioning well early in the morning. Neither do i know what else to add on, so yea~ should there be more info, i will blog soon again[ hopefully]~
