The Beginning of my art Collection…

After 3 months of not painting, it was time to dive into the artistic palate!

I pinned this piece onto my ‘hand-me-down’ cork board. I wanted it to be quite bold… and sharp, so I used gouache paints.

The dress was supposed to be white but it was accidentally mixed into other colours creating an almost salmon colour. I think it actually worked to my advantage!=)

IB art exhibition-April 2009

ew92 — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 07:02:42 +0000

Since I followed the IB course for two years, my Visual Arts course had to be presented in the form of an exhibition at the end of the 2 years. A certified IB examiner tested our presentation skills and spent approx 40 minutes speaking, criticising and sharing his ideas with us. It was definitely tough, even though we had practiced with our teachers-he hardly let us speak!!So we had to make sure that our ideas were put across!

But…putting that aside-the hard work and countless months we spent on our pieces definitely paid off!

The following entries will contain some of my final art pieces including experimented work…Enjoy!

I squeal ‘Penelope’!!

ew92 — Fri, 29 May 2009 05:01:10 +0000

I watched ‘Penelope’- starring Catherine O’Hara, James McAvoy, Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon- it was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen so far and I highly recommend it! It’s both a light-hearted but touching movie and has a hint of fantasy…which makes me love it even more!!Has alot of surprises as well…and there’ll be alot of ‘Aha’ moments=) It’s really sweet and even teaches something to all of us at the end..there’s no second thoughts about watching this…just go for it!Penelope trailer

Meg Cabot Book Craze!

ew92 — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 15:52:53 +0000

In my early teen years, I was crazy about Meg Cabot’s books!At present, I have counted 14 books-which (back then) to me cost a fortune. I was a sucker for fictional romance stories and would never put the book down once I started reading it!

But I’m not alone, I am sure there are many of you out there who were ‘Once upon a time’ “fans” of a now considered “lame” author =P

First Book from 'The Mediator' Series

Like many of you, I absolutely loved the ‘Harry Potter’ Series, I don’t know why and I don’t know how, but for some odd reason books from the fantasy/fiction genre have always interested me because they allow me to escape from my quite ‘mundane’ life =)

There’s no doubt that I’m still hooked onto these kind of books..but my last two years of school have steered me away from these genres and instead left me with study material…
