Week 6

The box to contain all our stuffs.

The works of the Year 2 & 3 students seemed complicated but they're pretty creative. The one thing I loathed that day was that the room was so packed that you didn't even feel like admiring their works. All you wanted to do was to get out of the human traffic! Haha. Heaved a sigh of relief. Everything seems so relaxed this week. The stress level decreased tremendously. To top it all, the excursions made it even more fun & interesting.
Here's some pictures taken at MINT, SAM & NMS.

Got this picture off a magazine. Makes you feel like you're lying in the air:D


































Chanel. Haha.





Just another view.


I think this is cool. Simple & clean.

Just some random chairs at the museum.

Dopey was my favourite character among the 7 dwarfs when I was young:D

The Beetles. So cool.

Ultraman

I think Astroboy looks adorable here.

Just us cam-whoring at MINT.

Week 5
Submission, & review. I think my blood pressure shot up really fast between week 4-5. Wasted half of my day during the review session cos my works only got to be reviewed in the evening. & my session was like 5-10minutes? Ohyes the days when we didn't have to return to school, I was actually at home making the 3rd and 4th model of my huge russian doll cos I didn't complete it before the submission day as I changed the material at the last minute. Blue foam was my enemy during that period of time. Why? Cos it was very tedious to dig a hole in the foam. & in addition, my 3rd and 4th russian dolls had to have 2 of about 2 inch thick foam glued together to ensure that my 1st 2 russian dolls which I managed to hand in during submission, can fit in. The part that was glued together was quite tough to dig as they were stuck too firmly together. Painting took a longer time as well cos the 4th Russian doll was enormous.

The one on the left is actually the final blue foam model of my russian doll while the one on the right was the model without a hole dug.

Week 4

First attempt to produce the russian doll was crap as I thought I could dig the hole after the thing hardened. Call me stupid but I've never played with clay in my life, much less dig a hole out of a shape. No, to be exact, I thought it was possible to cut it into two after it hardened. Second attempt = spend even more more cash to buy the dumb clay. As a result the sides hardened and cracked as I moulded the sides too thin. It was so fragile & brittle, it would break when you throw it on the floor! Haha. Actually I was thinking of like making a form, something like a template, then mould clay on the form & after that get the form out when it's semi-dry. But I was afraid the clay would get stuck to the foam & there goes my hard work. So yeah, I headed my lecturer, Edmund's advice & proceeded on to start all over again, getting blue foam to create my russian doll. Hard work, yes. But I got what I needed to do. Just that it had lost its sensuality [ This was what Kelly said. Haha ] Anyway, racing against time didn't help cos the blue foam would not be kind to me & thus, only the first 2 russian dolls were completed. Therefore, my peek-a-book was not born yet. Okay, maybe there was one but it wasn't completed. So.....yeah.

These were after the 1st round the lecturers commented. There were many many more:D
