Assignment 3 has begun!!- Paper Cutouts

THIS IS SPARTA!! Oopss.. I should write it, THIS IS AWESOME! :)

This is just the beginning for the Principles Of Design. After we had presented our assignment 2 last week, the assignment 3 arrived. This assignment is about the Paper cutouts. Ms Lisa showed us some of the design done by our seniors and it was freaking awesome!! Then, Ms Lisa has gave us a talk about the Principle of Design and we should always remember and take note of the Unity and Variety, Balance, Scale and Proportion, Rhythm and Repetition in our designs.

Actually, the paper cutouts are quite similar to the steam punk art movement. Ms Lisa asked us about the Themes and Concept and we have to do a mind map to create a themes for our paper cutout designs. Urghh~ To be honest, I'm suck on doing a mind map.

Then, we have to do an assignment where basically have to choose one of the theme which you preferred the most and make it on the paper cutouts. :)

ASSIGNMENT 3- NOTES

1. Create 2 different artwork(A4) using paper cutout and collage techniques
2. It can be in any color you wish
3. 1 artwork should represent Balance and Symmetry.
4. 1 artwork should represent Dominance, Space and Weight.
5. Dateline: 8th October 

I chose Gardens as my theme for the paper cutouts because I like the style of the British gardens. I don't know why but it always gives me some unique feels on it. And of course, I do like the garden styles of other countries too. Anyway, I think it will look awesome if it can turn out to be successful cutouts. :)

So, here's what I done on the day. I did 5 sketches based on my theme, Gardens. By the way, please forgive me for my awful sketches.

Sketch #1,  Sketch #2

Sketch #3,  Sketch #4

Sketch #5

Ms Lisa chose sketch 5 as my asymmetrical and for the symmetrical, I need to work more on it. So, I decided to use sketch 1 or sketch 4 as my symmetrical cutouts and add more details on it to make it look more mature and not childish anymore.

Ms.Lisa also told us that after this assignment, we will feel comfortable with handling with blades. Oh yeahh~ teehee :)

Assignment 2- Video Presentation! :)

A Date With The Pooh's Family

Today we had presented our movie. I'm so happy that Ms. Lisa enjoyed my movie and this is all thanks to her too. :) Through this process, I had learned more about the Rules of Third and also the concept of the composition. Besides that, I also learned on how to use the movie maker software and this is so enjoying. Teehee :)

Process of Assignment 2 :)

My Subject Matter and Skill Problem

 At first I had chosen bag as my subject matter but it doesn't work so good due to lack of understanding about the rules of third. Therefore, I need to try my best to improve my skills by listening the advise from my lecturer about the colors, brightnest, contrast and also the interception of The Rules of Third. 

Tutorial time on Tuesday, Sept 3

I had prepared 2 different subject matters on tutorial time. The first subject matter are wine. I took about 70 pictures of different angles, background and also the types of wine. The second subject matter would be the Pooh bears. These are the examples of the wine pictures that i had taken. Take a look on this video :)

After that, i showed Ms. Lisa the other subject matter of the Poohs and she said that the Poohs as the subject matter are more interesting than the wine. And so, I chosen my Pooh as my priority subject matter. 

Hehehe.. It is just a short trailer for my Pooh bear. Soon will upload the Pooh's movie.
