A*Live @ Bishan Library Jun 2012
This month, we learnt from Trish and Nic how to use markers and water to create a nice watercolour effect.
We were quite absorbed doing this. And look at the beautiful art we created!
Not forgetting some of the new ATCs for this month.
We meet again on 12 July and the theme is "Under the Sea".

Bootcamp #06
The final assignment for this fun online Art Bootcamp is all about maps.
As I will be going for a trip from Sun till Wed, I managed to only create one of the 2 maps; one of the place we stay and another about our thoughts, or something more conceptual.
Even this piece looks more like a work in progress.
This is my Toa Payoh, Singapore.
Fun all the same. Maybe I will get to the making this better or to the other map when I get back.
This week, I was also introduced to these fantastic illustrated map sites:
They Draw and Travel
Make Maps

Bootcamp #05
In this week's assignment is inspired by chairs - to create an art that we think best represent who I am.
At the start of the week, I saw a fabric design while riding the train that got me experimenting with "combi perspective" - showing both the side and front view at the same time. So, I doodled my chairs, and the wing chair has always attracted me though I do not own one.
When I sat down to work on this, I experimented again - Chinese ink with chopstick, and also drawing a little larger than I am usually comfortable with.
I quite liked the uneven-ness and just tried out a few pieces this way, except for the one with a coloured background.
Here are the 4 pieces I submitted:
I liked the coloured piece the most.
How do these represent me?
- enjoy word-play and puns (and somewhat lame humour): wing chair!
- seem to be in a rush while at rest
- a (hidden) desire to spread my wings of creativity
Yet another fun assignment. Only one last one.
Also putting this up for Illustration Friday's theme: Hurry!
