My Square

Last week, we are giving a new assignment which is a "square"!
We are going to make our own square with cutting them out with a colour paper.
What is my square??






  

I do some research before i start to think what is me square look like.
These are some examples of paper cutting of the square.
When every things combine will form a square.















After i saw this picture, I have a idea of design my Square.
I wanted to make my square with a reflection of a tree.
When the shadow of the tree combine to the up one,
this will make a complete square.
  
 
I love Music!
I hope i can make a music tree!
So i decided to make me music square~

I found some music notes to make the tree`s leaves.

 


First, I try with a pink colour paper.
I draw my design on the paper and cut them out carefully.
I used the music notes to replace the leaves of the tree.


This is the root of the tree. 



                                               I pasted the tree on a A3 size mounting board.


This is the music notes!
Is really hard for me to cut them out.

Finally, I done the first trial of my Square! 
I will make the real square to present with other colour which is gold colour!



This is the 2nd design. 
I cut the keyboard out from the paper and paste it below the square
to make the reflection.


But this is just a try. I do not feel this design is nice, so I decided
to improve my design another time.



The actual design of my square.
This procedures is the same with above.

The tree look nicer with Gold colour!



Finally, the actual design is Done! 




The 2nd Actual design.
I have an idea to improve my design
which is added some invert design.

 


I draw them in the paper.
and cut them out carefully.

The hardest procedure is to cut the invert design.
This really take a lot of my times to arrange them 
and paste them.


                                       
                                                 This is my final design of my 2nd square!

My both Square!





Yesterday, We faced some problem which is the classroom was not able to use.
Therefore, we faced the challenges to exhibite
our work outside of the classroom.
We are design students!
We are creative~
We used some tables and chairs to arrange beside a corner and put our Squres there.













This is my work! I am so proud to put my work
there to share with others!

Lanterns

We are planning to use all the boxes and waste materials to make our floating
lanterns which can help us to save costs and recycle all the waste materials.

After we collected all the boxes. We started to make the lanterns with different sizes.
We divede into 2 groups which is measure group and cutting group.

They are measuring the llanterns. 


                                                   I tried to make the medium size lanterns.


After I cut them out I try to stick them and to make them look balance.

Cleanings the corner of the classroom therfore the class look clean. 



Stencils and lanterns.

After everyone cutting out the patterns of their stencils,
we decided to colour them with some ink or marker pens therefore we
can see the designs before we spray them to the lanterns.




                                       This is my stencils designs which is the lotus flowers





These arw all the stencils others have made. 



Before we make the lanterns, we collect all the waste materials that 
still can be used from other art studio.

We have divided into some group to do this floating exhibition.

We have decided to use the Merdeka theme to make this gaint exhibition.
We are focusing the colours of our Malaysia's flat which is red, white, yellow and blue.
We are also decided to use somw silver and gold colour too.

After some meetings, we are planning to make the canvas with this main colours.
We planned to make all the canvas with different designs.

I am in the white group! Is hard for me to design the white canvas.
But I have try my best to do it~


I use some newspaper to make the texture look nicer. After that colour the surface with white colour and some silver colour. 

We are asked for design some stencil for the floating latterns.
We devided into some group which is Chinese designs, malay designs, indian designs and khadazan designs.

Self Potrait ( Semester 2)

Time passes so fast! I am in semester 2 Foundation in Design course now.  I can`t believe that I already step into the new semester. However, in the first day of  2 Dimensional Design, we are given an assignment which is SELF POTRAIT. I had done 1 of my self potrait during last semester. We are allow to get any materials  around the campus to do 2nd self potrait.


I had followed some friends to go find some materials beside the lakeside. Some of them found some flowers or rocks to represent themelves.  For me, is hard for me to find somethings around the campus to do my self potrait. Suddenly, I found a kind of fruits from a tree that found beside the lakeside. The small fruits look very special because the fruits that grow on the tree have different colour which are green , light green, light peach and red. After i plug the small little fruits from the tree, I have an idea to make them look nice and to represent my self potrait.

After that, I get a small tree bark to do my self potrait with sticking all the little fruits on it.


I arrange the friuts from green to red.
This is because I am growing from last semester until today.
I have learn a lot of new things that I did not know before through
all this semester 1.

This is the Green colour friuts!

 start from this layer, the colour of the friuits start to change to become red,
just like me, learning new things since this January ( semester 1 start)


                                                         
                             I love the red colour friuts! The glue around the fruits look like
                                                                    the   waterdrop. And look so natural!
