The day has come, the batik making day. It was my first tryout in my life TO MAKE BATIK print. I have watched some tutorial on youtube. The process for a rookie to do this is kinda tedious. Okay, I am a designer so why do I fear because I have my teammates to back me up and I already know what I gonna print on it.

So, here is the the batik making place. Everybody is so anxious on what is going on. Look at my classmate, Jie Yan. She is so focusing on my camera.

Beware of hot wax because it is not gonna burn your hand but also mould your hand. Well, this is the refilling area and color picking area. How ironic it is when the guide says that we have only few colors for you guys. But it seems that there is a lot color selection for us.

As the previous post, we know that we gonna made Alice in the hororland batik.

So this picture up here the 1^st top part of Alice whereby we use rabbit and mad hatter’s hat as representation of Alice . The rabbit seems quite horrified with the blood stain on its teeth.  Actually we been given four pieces of batik cloth to work it out. Actually our whole idea for this artwork is to combine this four pieces batik to become one main body.

Well, this is the upper part of the alice body which is her blouse dress. This was created Victoria.

This photo up here is the bottom part of the dress for alice which created by Carmen. We can see that we incorporate some patterns to it. The Red Queen, the poker cards pattern, the army and the flamingo.

at last, my creation will be the leg part. It is actually the smiling car in Alice In the Wonderland But painted with psychedelic colors to show that our theme is a “twisted” theme. Whereby Alice is not in her wonderland but in a more horrifying land.

SO, this is the final outcome of our combinations of the four batik to become one Alice. Looking great from the camera but I hope it look great during the presentation day. So, this is Alice In The Hororland.

                                See what I found, The Psychedelic Chicken from KFC.

live painting with music

It was a Friday morning, and we, the design students being assigned with the first ever live painting with music project happened in Taylor’s University. First of all, what is live painting? Live painting basically is a expressive painting. But why with music? In the history of art and music movement, Art is the fuse of the music or either way whereby these two element must be combined together to make something extraordinary. Music helps artist to express their inner feeling and also can ignites artist inner soul and talents. Well, on that day Miss Lisa played two genre of music; which is the classical genre and the pop genre. The songs from classical genre was all Mozart sonata if I am not wrong. I have the strong feelings to this classical genre, Maybe I am a pianist and I have gone through the bad experience of my trainings. I painted Mozart in red to show the unbeatable musicianship in every musicians. Musicians have gone through a lot of bad experience and a lot bad critics.

Left is the classical painting, which I call the the MOZART EFFECT. Right is the pop song painting. Pop song painting, i called it the psychedelic pop. Well, it might also look like Picasso cubism. Why, Picasso cubism? Remembering Picasso wanted to be different from every artist so he use an unconventional way of drawing which I will named him as the hippie of art. In our gen-y culture, we struggle to be different from everyone but there is one thing in the gen-y mind is everyone should be equal social level and this whole relates to hippies. I painted in psychedelic is to express the gen-y culture. You might questioned what do the phone and the Darth Vader represents? Phone represents our way of socialism has changed in gen-y. Darth Vader represents the modernization of our technology. And these relates back to the phone, we know we live in the high technology culture and in this high tech society, we all must have an smart phone. These high tech smart phone caused our socializing skill faced the down fall. Because text more we speak.
