i also said i'd end up teaching those kids how to research surrealism and pointilism and cubism. yeah, run away you little kids.. i WORKED for my A in art!
no seriously, i did.
think about our art in secondary school... warna primer, sekunder, tertier. yellow+red = orange. A!
haha.. it was only a matter of time til we realised that the questions in our final exam were taken straight from the workbook. you know, that one with the answers printed at the back.
Sup sup sui (translates to wet wet water meaning no problem. probably cos it's easy to make water wet..???) lah this art business. have to catch up in uk ah? can lah.. take easy subject. Art!
Honestly, art was the most challenging subject i took in my time there. you can paint the kerbau and the paddy field then good for you. Somemore you must know about the cubist, the surrealist, the impressionist, the renaissance period. ETC. yeah, and must know what style monet use, degas use, dali use. know how to do it for yourself also. wahlau. Pening.
but here's the thing.. you can get by without ever really knowing how to draw. just need to know how to copy. haha.. serious! i envy people who can draw whatever is in their head. mine will end up deformed. i can picture how to in my head, but never can come out wan. so..
anyway, i was looking through my old art books, and in a sad bid to make myself look good.. see lah all my beautiful artwork. i take picture for you also.
Presenting...
Jeannie's Wonderful Amazing Bestest Ever Artwork!
This is my fave fave fave of all time picture. Wah.. how amazing to be able to draw a leopard. i mean.. copy a leopard. anywayz.. quite impressive wat for someone whose last art exam (then) was a logo for kelab memancing (dun snigger, you've been thru it too)
And this is like.. one of the first things i ever did when i moved there. I also dunno how i drew this. haha.. never touch charcoal before. oh well.. let's just admire and not stare at the flaws.
somemore got my random piece of choy. actually not that great lah, but the colours are so funky, so i must also show off.
And this strange piece is my attempt at surrealism. La La La. surrealism is like, a big random canvas where you can paint whatever the hell you like. Mmmm... we had to snip bits out of magazine and stick together and make something like that. so erm.. yeah. random!
Art- maybe need a bit of skill to make stuff look nice lah, but all the research stuff, haha it's a lot of bullshit. sort of like essays, especially in english lit. You find some random thing i.e : the car in the novel or painting was black. Then, elaborate endlessly on it with anything that pops in your mind. Observe
To my belief, the car in the novel/painting was black as the artist/writer was trying to convey that the object was one of depression and darkness. There are undertones of death, as the traditional hearse carrying the coffin of the deceased, as well as funeral attire are all coloured black. As the character in the book/figure in the painting is approaching the vehicle, perhaps it is a sign that there is impending death in his future. The car could have been sent as an omen, by, perhaps, a foe of the character. Or, this could be a forewarning of the future that the writer/artist wanted to include. Therefore, this story/painting is an illustration of the adversity that one must overcome even though faced with an obstacle as great as death.
Haha. And people wonder why i'm taking a bachelor in arts. Gosh, if only bullshit was a profitable career.
