Coursework - Composition 3 (Europe (Nature))

 This is a surrealistic composition of different elements in nature. I was intrigued by the underwater life thus i tried to combine it with the land and houses. Also, i added in certain surrealistic elements that i have been working on for a while. I would say i am not too please with the watercolour results for i used normal printing paper instead or watercolour paper and the paint just could not be blended properly when i used this type of paper.

A mermaid on land 

 

The horse and the child. 

 

1) Feathers of swan turning into waves . 2) Birds vs. boat.  3)Night vs. Day.

  

Girl feeding mermaid with water. I thought this was a interesting yet hilarious idea since mermaids live in a environment filled with water yet the water is too salty to be suitable for drinking.

Flowers from Paris

These are some sketches of flowers I did during our trip to Paris in 2010. Most of them are from Monet's garden and one from a painting in Musee d' Orsay. They are coloured with water-colour pencils and edited to create a complementary background effect.

Past Works

 

"No Drugs" Sec 2 Design: 
Illustrates how a drug addicts' dreams, hopes, beliefs, family comes crashing down immediately as she consumes drugs. The drug tablets flow down in a rainbow of colours, symbolizing how drugs seems so attractive and harmless at first. Yet, while one is succumb to it, her life crashes down even before she notices.

Sec 3 Fashion Design Module:
Based on the theme "Microbes", I designed a short party dress. The dress is incoporated with elements of microbes that seem to be floating down a sea of gradient of blue and turqoise. Soft folds and puffs delibrately added at the edge of the dress were inspired by corals in the sea and serves to add some lightness to the dress.











Sec 1 EOY Painting:
A surrealist approach to depict a horse turning into a unicorn as a carriage goes by the trees. Also, alternating positions of the carriage and horse being behind and in front of the tree seeks to bring confusion to viewers.
