The Not So Dead Blog and Person

It's not been A WHILE, but been ages, I know, NO UPDATE. 
By the way, my life is getting busy, since I am a working lady now. :p
So, just let me update about some important things in my life.

After half decade of college life, I graduated on 28th May 2013.

As I ever talked in my old and previous post (did I?), I am left brain person. 

My major of study was Visual Art Education.
 

I've just mentioned about work and education. So guess what I am working as now?

 I work as a cat hunter.

LOL. Obviously NO.

An educator, a teacher - or a monstrous rebellious teacher.

It's sweet and kind teacher (if you believe so) and I'm teaching Art classes mostly.

The image above is for illustrative purposes only -  I'm not teaching Islamic subject. 

Being a Muslim means you know the method to teach the kids how to perform prayer correctly.

At the same time, I'm trying to be an active amateur artist. After leaving college, I've joined art exhibitions twice, under Artgeng group.  

Recent exhibition held in Bastion House, A Famosa Malacca.

What else? I'm sleepy~

The Last Chapter II: Behind the scene (exhibition)

From one angle.

We're amazing people maybe. We don't sleep at night, we sketch instead. Thanks to technology, projector helped a lot, our work turned much easier. 

Yeah, too amazing. Two can do better than one, and we're many.

It didn't really matter ladies or gentlemen, we all do the same thing here as a team. :)

It's slope and dangerous. But we love reckless thing.

Easels and handmade panel board for artworks display.

Small sized sponsored banner, advertisement was crucial for FYP.

P/S: My blog was on hiatus since my laptop had had trouble. Maybe need new one, later. :\

The Last Chapter I: Around RADAR 360

 Hi. Did I make any sense?I was holding the exhibition catalog!

 

The official logo of RADAR 360.

What was RADAR 360 about? RADAR is the antonym for Rasa Dalam Rupa (the sense in form), held in 11th October - 13th October 2012 in IPG Kampus Tengku Ampuan Afzan, my college for half decade (5 years 5 months). This was our final exhibition as degree students in Visual Art Education. Let's take a glance. 

 We made this 'photobooth' from plywood. Damn heavy I say. 

What I did, what I got, whatever around RADAR 360:

 

 I don't always play with henna, but when I do, I make crap doodle.

My exhibited artworks:

 

 Title: SILVER JUBILEE: MONARCH
Size: 99 x 79 cm

Media: Oil paint on canvas

 Title: DISPUTE OF WAR
Size: 59 x 42 cm

Media: Oil paint on plywood

 

 Title: LET IT LIVE
Size: 59 x 42 cm

Media: Fabric dye on linen 

 

That's all. But I made 'nother one during the exhibition:

 

This is what we called as 'batik' using the tool called 'canting', filled with melted wax.

And becoming like this. Oh yes, I do love dragonfly, a lot! :)

I don't want to make long post with lots of awesome photos from our exhibition, so...

Stay tune for next post: Behind the Scene of RADAR 360.

Pottery making in Temin

Yesterday, 2 PSV units (mine and senior) went to Pusat Kraf Temin, Jerantut for pottery making. From the campus at 7.30am, we arrived there almost 9.00 am. If you've been to Jerantut, you know how the road is - like a safety roller-coaster. Every student required to make at least 3 types of pottery in different techniques - scabbing, coiling, throwing and (I forgot another one).

Temin Kraf - pottery : ceramic and porcelain.

Owner: Cik Mat (back with blue shirt) and a practical student making a demonstration of coiling technique.

Let's play with clay - it's fun. ^__^

Scabbing technique - gluing the clay to cover holes, flaws, etc.

Throwing - my face looked like ceramic with glazing already.

Some samples of our masterpieces. 

The ceramics will be burnt in a furnace to get rid of water contained in the clay and next to be covered by glazing and burn again. We left the 'em and return back to campus at about 5.30 pm. It was a very freaking tiring day, I couldn't even feel my palm due tiredness kneading the clay.
