Xu Beihong vs. French Realists
Did this essay last year, after our trip to SAM, where we saw a collection of Xu Beihong’s works. The exhibition was called “Xu Beihong in Nanyang”, I think? I think there was another question that we could do. Was it the Feng Zhenjie question? Because I don’t remember doing that…oops probably shouldn’t have said [...]

Pinhole Photography II
These are some of my other more decent pinhole photos. As usual, I did nothing to them, and also because the quality of the photos were not good enough for submission anyway. Most of my photos are blurry or underexposed. There’s one photo that’s underexposed so bad that you can hardly tell the edges of [...]

Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko
We did this as an assignment in Sec 3. I think Mr. Lim assigned it on a day he wasn’t around? Or something like that, because it’s a teensy bit strange if you consider the timing – we learnt about Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko in Sec 2. But who am I to say? Ah [...]

Done in Sec 3; I think it was a timed trial? — a) Describe the subject matter of each of these two paintings, including the environment in which they are positioned. In Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, 1889, he is depicted wearing a green coat and a grayish-black, fur-rimmed cap, with a [...]

EOY’08: Architecture & skylines
These were drawings that I did at the beginning of the eoy paper period last year. For the theme emerging, I originally wanted to do something related to evolving skylines, so I did these studies on famous buildings and skyscrapers. These are studies of the Burj Al Arab (sorry is that how you spell it?), [...]

After viewing many of the rest of the apes eportfolios, I realised that many people put photography works, including their pieces from last year’s series of photography assignment. And I was like “Oops I totally forgot about that…what in the world happened to my memory?!” [slaps forehead]. Okay, maybe that wasn’t exactly my reaction, but [...]

CCA flyer design ’08
Here are three versions of the flyer I did for my cca last year, for the cca exhibition day…presented in order of creation. 1st version: This was the basic idea – butterflies flying around…inspiration taken from one of the dance society’s all-time favorite dances. Apparently, this design lacked the ‘chinese’ element, so I came up [...]

Since my final was a picture of a hand reaching out from under debris of the earthquake, I did practice drawings of rocks and concrete. It was rather hard to get the texture of broken concrete (at least for me), so I was quite stressed out when I was drawing. In the end I used [...]

EOY’08: Studies of hands
These were some of the studies of hands that I did for my d&p paper last year. Because my painting was about the Sichuan earthquake, I searched for photos of ‘dirty’ hands, hands clinging on to rocks, hands that look like they’re reaching out of debris etc. to fit the context, and to study how [...]

EOY’08: Dandelions
Did these studies of dandelions for my eoy drawing and painting paper last year. I drew them directly with the pen! No pencil sketching and whatnot. I love dandelions; I know I used to love blowing dandelion heads when I was younger. Me and my neighbour would go out and run after squirrels and then [...]
