The spirit of Wushu

Recently, I have been busy working on my painting assignment for more than a week. I have been sleeping late or sleep around 1 am then woke up at 4am to continue finish this painting fast to meet due date. Very tiring.

I won't say i did very great, fine job, but I at least had experience painting something so complex on third quarter of my height canvas size within one and a half week time.

Self mixing the colors was good experience for trial and error but also tiring to force myself keeping the spirit to continue working to finish it.

I just finished my exam yesterday for this semester, so tomorrow will try to work some new artwork for update! =) haha

Batik @ Pulau Meranti

Last Thursday, my lecturer planned a trip to Pulau Meranti to visit Batik Shop where it also a place to see and introduced us about Malaysian Batik. Batik got use 2 methods to create the patterns on the cloth which are the application of wax with a canting, applying the wax to the fabric include pouring the liquid wax, painting the wax with a brush, and putting hot wax onto pre-carved wooden or copper block (called a cap or tjap) and stamping the fabric.Melted wax (Javanese: malam) is applied to cloth before being dipped in dye. It is common for people to use a mixture of beeswax and paraffin wax.

We paid 60 ringgit for the bus fee and also include the price of the canvas that we used to do batik on the canvas on that day. Quite fun and difficult to adapt the skill as well for newbies like me.

above: my first time paint batik.

Here's onwards are the professional ones did and their samples...

Media Innovation Assignment

my first assignment on MI is to develop and visualize a statement you exist in this department and why you are worth to be remember? the statement in words can be less than 7 words. After research and studies of myself, my background, i gave my statement which is " i am a mad dream-chaser."....
because i think since young i always got many different kinds of dreams of becoming some kind of artist, anything that related to art...u can say i am greedy..
i am mad at that time.. and still now but now i struggle between health and my passion to chase my dream madly...and how will i go on from here.. just have to wait n see..



few sketches of my ideas, i wanna show that i used my heart and soul to reach my goal and i am prepared with all the art tools and anything i need for art inspirations.
another concept/idea is i am here in this department is to find the golden key to unlock the door to reach my goal and bring me to higher stage or top of this industry
the rocket made by art tools like pencils, marker etc... idea is to try using art tools to express my dream, is like i exist in this department coz wanna become rocket on the way to catch my dream...
the last one with an owl but with elephant legs idea, i try to use animal other than just art tools to visualize my statement.. the owl represents i am observant,
the elephant legs represent i am stable and i will use the stable way to reach my goal,
wings, means i wanna fly higher, i wanna improve, and reach closer to my goal
the snail shell, represent home means i wanna live with a mobile home as i can travel around to search for my goal, my art knowledge...
monkey tail = backup..means i am always will prepare for the worse outcome..like monkey they swing around with not only hands and legs sometimes... when they fall, their tail is the last hope to hold them up.


i choose snake because its my chinese zodiac.. with different kinds of wings to show that i gain experiences as time goes by, and experiences bring me fly higher


after consultation, my lecturer said he like the owl concept, but its too organic and suggested me to add mechanical, or machine thing..so i added a mechanical/robot hand.. to express my idea more obviously, with that hand trying to hold the start(dream),
the right one is a hermit crab, i choose that, coz it got many legs, means can do things very fast or will be very clumsy coz many legs, very hard to walk.. which i think that's my personality, i eager to success my dream early always.. and the shell represent home, i wish to have a mobile home, so i can travel everywhere easily actually.. and the picture actually is showing he walking on rocks slowly to the sky with blue clouds.. means he walking to his dream...
bcoz i got limited markers to colour the tone.. n also i seldom use marker to colour.. so not very good in it yet.. my lecturer said must use markers, i only bought to use, and its very expensive
the sky idea was inspired by a photo i took>>
