cabinet of curiosity

My collection for this assignment are:
Chopsticks

Chopsticks are holding folder on the fingers to take food or other things, slender stick is a tool for meals. East Asia is the birthplace of the chopsticks, chopsticks have been 3,000 years of history, East Asia is the world's chopsticks for eating areas. Chopsticks look just a very simple two thin rods, but it has  choose, dial, folders, mix, picking and other functions, and easy to use. Chopsticks is a unique tableware in today's world. Chopsticks is a product of slow evolution process of the human in Asia

and it is not a personal invention.

Shell necklace

The shell necklace is my friend sent me, it is from the Hainan Island. I think it is worthy of collection. This necklace is made of small shells, it is very special.

Advertising Poster

We have to choose an ad of a well known product and to produce an improved version with different perspective. I have chosen an ad for M&M. From what I have seen, most of the ads are quite childish, as the target audience is targeted towards children.

However, in my mind I don't necessary think M&M is only for children. Grown ups like me also like to eat them as snacks. I want to try to make an ad in a different angle that could also attract adults. I think adults who have to work stressfully everyday have lost some parts in their lives, like childhood and being naive. They are always rushing, and have to worry about alot of things. I want to make a simple ad that even if they only spend 1 second looking at the poster they would know it is about M&M. What better way to show that then the colorful candies themselves? Moreover I want to tell them that life is not always about  work and money. My slogan is Have a candy everyday, remind yourself life is sweet. Hopefully, this poster could mean something to the grown ups and may actually make them feel better about their lives. 

Create Own Color Palette

My Color Palette

Our task was to create a color palette of our own. For this we loaded a picture on to Adobe Illustrator. The picture i choose was a photograph which i took from my assignment. Then we started picking different colors from different areas in that picture. Duplicate the box to 3, in which 1st will be in RGB, and in CMYK and the 3rd in Pantone. After that we look for its RGB, CMYK and Pantone reading where we can find slight color difference for the same color.     

Scanning

This assignment we have to scan a bunch of things to make them into something totally different, in a form of a picture or a poster. I want to create a picture of day and night. The things that I used are all unrelated, such as necklace, lipstick, medicine, cans and carambola. I used carambola and cans to represent the sky. Carambola represents the stars and the can looks like the sun.

Optical Illusion

This is called Optical Illusion. 

At first sight you would think it is just a horn. But if you look closely it is actually made up 2 faces. I used illustrator to draw these faces, in an expressionist way.

Pandora surprises boxes

 Me and my classmate Li Xin Yu gave each other 5 different things. She gave me a donut box, a pack of tissue paper, a strawberry candy, a fork and some sticker notes. With these totally unrelated things, I created a cute looking radio. All of these things are like candies and by combining them together I think it looks very cute and sweet.

Sixth Sense

I remember the time when i went barbecuing with my friends. It was during night time in the nature. We were circled around the fire, with a pitch dark environment around us. It gave me a strange feeling that I have never felt before. I felt like I was almost melting with the fire. I want to express the feeling that I had at that time. So I used my cellphone to record the sound of the fire, I painted the paper with blue, red and orange to represent the different layers of the fire. Then I crumble the paper to give it a feeling of vagueness. I hope this could recreate that strange feeling that I had at that time.               

My Favorite

The next assignment is my 1m by 1m picture and work space artworks. My title is Seasons. As we all know in Malaysia the whole year feels like summer days. there might be some people who have never experienced winter or even a cold windy day. In other countries such as China or Canada, the four seasons are all there. You can experience the differences between summer spring, autumn and winter. In my mind I think the seasons and one's feeling both have similar characteristics, and I also feel that different seasons can definitely affect our emotions as well. I want to convey these seasons and emotions through the use of colors. Spring is the beginning of the year, it represents the beginning of life, like green grass.Autumn to me is like the color yellow, it is the time of fallen leaves. Winter is like white, where its the only season that snows. However, I love Summer the most, as I think it is a colorful season. There are blue sky, green grass, yummy ice cream, picnic, and pretty girls in bikini! 

I also made these artworks to represent different seasons. The photo frame is Spring,the cotton is.Winter, the garbage bin is Autumn and the ice cream is Summer.

                                                      
                                                     

Picture Show

I like this picture. This picture shows a worker. This picture reflects the work environment of this workers, as well as his work situation. Look at his clothes and hat, the funny thing is there is a flashlight on his hat. We can determine he is a mining worker. Due to the pressures of life, he had to do this kind of work , this can be seen from his eyes. This picture is the good image to show a working workers.

I like this picture also, this picture shows the buildings, but with a very special way to show. The author use this vague way allows the audience to be impressed. In fact, this is a very common painting. But the authors used a different way to express and achieve good results. This vague feeling can give the audience a lot of space for imagination, for example, it can allow audience to think of people who live in these houses, as well as what happened inside. 

I don't  like this painting. This painting shows a man sitting on a dead horse. I do not like this picture because this picture makes me feel sad. Although the art is to reflect the real world, but I do not like the picture. Look at this poor horse, I do not know how it is dead, it looked very poor. I am an animal loving person, especially the horse, dog, cat. I do not like to see the animal die.

I don't like this picture also. The author use black and white colors to show swimming people. I like white and black colors, but I do not like use white and black colors to show some harmony things. Look at this picture, it show swimming people, but it looks a little horrible, it looks like a disaster site, for example, the Titanic. This black and white picture give me a horrible feeling, and give me a lot of space for imagine the titanic. In short, I do not like this picture, I like harmony, interesting paintings.
