toothpick sculpture

chair project

I made my chair using this box. (recycled material!!) This picture is how it looked like before I started my project.
I really like the Gold top...that was like the only reason I kept this box for so long.
(It was originally a chinese snack container)

this is my chair:(undone)




The only part that I still have to work on are the legs...so it will be done by tonight. (my aunt said it looks really Egyptian now...)
but what do you guys think? should I add something else? or I can just put on the legs and make it a normal chair project?

art exhibition trip

I just thought of that I did not upload my trip to an art museum/exhibition.
so here are some pictures:



This was actually a informal art exhibition at the biggest bookstore in Taiwan. The theme of the week was the setting of elementary schools. So the background in the picture is basically what a elementary school in taiwan look like. The tag on the top indicates the number of the class. We separate people in the same grade to several classes, and we distinguish them by saying its number. For example: fifth grade third class.



In the classroom :)

We use black board most of the time.




typical elementary school kid's notebook, haha

Product Design

What I wanted to do the most was actually 3D design. However I didn't get to do a lot of sculpture because my materials are limited in Taiwan, and I probably won't be able to bring them back to the states. What I did instead was tried to draw some designs of products.

Title: Product Design: Perfume Case

Ingredient: Color Pencil

Caption: This Perfume case contains two kinds of perfume in each side of wings. The nozzle in the middle can switch from left to right and connect to another kind of scent. The case is made of transparent glass and filled with two different colors of perfume inside, thus creates a colorful look and high quality feel.

Title: Product Design: Bowl Tooth

Ingredient: Pencil

Caption: The tooth-shaped bowl looks like an unclean tooth when filled with food. This product reminds people to brush their teeth after meals.

Title: Product Design: Trash Can Tooth

Ingredient: Pencil

Caption: Another product of the teeth series. The trash can represent a decayed tooth, and the action of dumping the trash means cleaning the tooth. The tooth-shaped trash can reminds people to go to dentists and check their teeth while they dump the trash.

Graphic Design: Chracters

Graphic Design: posters

(Up) Title: The Revenge of Milk

Ingredient: Marker

Caption: Although human has been absorbing nutrition from milk, now it’s time for milk to attack human. The fungi and foul smell from milk are taking over the world gradually. This poster is about nature’s fight back.

charcoal: figure drawing

Knife?

buildings

I think building is always a very good starting point for practices. Buildings can be drawn in varies of style and methods. Following with the project of using warm and cool colors, I tried to use every kinds of materials to draw buildings so that I can create many different feelings within the same topic/object.

possible topic 2: Red

Red has been my favorite color, although it is the worst color, according to most of my friends...


I think it would be cool if I can make a series of works that all contain the color red. BRIGHT RED.

warm and cool colors

This was a project that I did in an art studio in Taiwan. The purpose of this project was to present how different colors(warm/cold) and create opposite feelings. These two pictures were based on a same photo, but I painted them in different sets of colors.

fisheye pictures

I didn't update my blog since july because I decided to take pictures for my works in better qualities. I know I should have upload them to my computer earlier thought :(


anyways, I got a fisheye camera for my birthday this year. I took several photos with it and these tow are my favorites:

better quality

possible topic 1

When I was thinking about my theme(topic?) for my concentration, the first thing that poped up in my head was "bones."

There is really no specific reason why I like bones, I just think the shape of different bones can create really cool textures and images.

Here are some practice on this topic:

Oh and there are some weird reflection on all of my charcaol works...because I covered them with some plastic bags s

o that the charcoal can stay on the paper more.

looks pretty cool :) I really like this piece, it's probably one of my favorite pieces of all. What I tried to do is to make this looks like an X-ray film...maybe i failed, although it took my so long to finish it. Seriously, it looks so much better if you look at the real thing instead of photograph!!

Another practice of bone - it's a cow's skull!

In Taiwan, People who want to apply for art/design program for college have a huge exam every year. Last year's topic was a cow skull's sketch. This is why I get to practice on this topic. That was my first time seeing a real skull...

working on protfolio!

I have been working on my protfolio for nearly the entire summer.

Since it is for my college application, I started from the very basic stuff

Here are some practices:
