KRIZ CRUZ

Kryzstof Izdebski- Cruz and his wife Natalia Cruz came all the way from Poland and exhibited their works in Taylor's CODA from 9th of October till this 31st! It was honestly a jaw dropping works especially Mr. Cruz's metal point artwork which is a drawing or a sketch that is used only metals like silver, copper, pure gold etc. Not only that, he also displayed his soft pastels and oil paintings as well which is also amazing. The reason I like his metal point works the most is because the quality of lines that he drew and most importantly he can't mess the drawings out because it can't be erased. This shows that the sketches he draw using the metal point method is flawless and also perfect.

The very next day, Mr Cruz and his wife gave an inspiring talk to us on how he applied these techniques throughout the years and it was very very very very useful for us. All in all, I would say that this displays has inspired me more and also opened my eyes about European artist's culture.. I would really look forward for more exhibitions coming soon!

Assignment 2: Mask!

So it has been weeks after our first Creative Thinking Skills's assignment and now we were assigned by Mr Charles to make a mask based on our personality. Hmmmm, interesting... So right after the lecture, Mr Charles having some Class Craft session, which is playing some games with us and after that, he asked us to come up a word that represents us the most. Ive come up the word ANIMALS as I love animals sooooooooooo much until I can't tell. They're too cute for me! So right after we come out the word, we were to write as many words that represent the word ANIMALS the most. 

This is the list of ANIMALS I've written to...

-FOODS

-FURCOATS

-MUDS

-WILDLIFE

-AFRICA

-HABITATS

-KITTY

-LEATHER

-CARNIVORES

-PET SHOP

-EXTINCTION

-WOODS

-ZOO

-HUNTING

-DOGS

-STINKY

-OMNIVORES

-MAROON 5

Here is the idea journal of my ANIMALS...

After that, we were to choose three words from all of the words and then, SKETCH a minimum of FIVE drawings of each words that represents ANIMALS. It was kinda fun for me because I chose DOGS, WILDLIFE , and FUR COATS . Not long after, I drew some sketches of it and here you are... the sketches :)

 Dogs

Wildlife

Wildlife

Fur Coats 

One week has passed and I showed these sketches to Mr. Charles. After looking the sketches, Mr Charles told me to impress him with my wildlife sketches and make a mask from the word WILDLIFE. It took me a few hours to figure out how will mask be because I will definitely not create a normal animal mask! I figured out and decided to create a mask of  a WOLF because the characteristic of a wolf represents me a lot which is being coward, timid sometimes but it'll be furious and even kill its victims at times. Moreover, I sketch some of the ideas of a wolf and here you go... 

Ideas for my upcoming mask 

My wolf mask!

After all the hustling and struggling of coming out the idea, I started molding my face  into a structure of a wolf and then make a mask from it. I also paper mache it and then plaster it. It took a day to dry which is very SLOW! WTF!..Right after the mask dries up, I painted the structure of the mask with acrylics and also pasted colour papers to enhance the shape and also adds some edge into it. I collage it with a variety of bold colours and with different type of shapes because it reflects me the most which is always be cheerful and bold at times. I completed my mask and I would say, it is kinda nice as I would say. FUHHHH, a sigh of relief because assignment 2 is done! Hurray!! Hope to meet you guys very soon!
