I need to let go from being safe, restricted, confined. EXPERIMENT. Or I'll be stuck in a mud pit..

I feel like a failure. What is with my responses.

Movies

Mon Oncle- 1958

Great French film! Loved the ultramodern house. 

Tom Boy- 2011

Requiem- 2006

Grbavica- 2006

Just Another Love Story- 2008

Partners (Complices)- 2009

All these movies are great!  Been watching on sbs and the first two borrowed from the library. Really recommend watching Mon Oncle, the architect design, the characters, the filming, it's just oh so great. 

Sunny [+]

It has been a good stress free productive, I guess, week. Also got my hair cut.

Two days in the studio. I've made this square canvas to paint a pattern on but found another for it so I painted this portrait of my little baby cousin.  

Wed: had mid semester reviews.. wasn't so great but now actually motivates me to do things. Started to paint this doggy.

Thu: finally got round to hanging my stuff on my wall. been meaning to! but had the wrong nails.. Also went to the art forum thing for the first time this year. It was pretty good.

Random thing I made on Friday night.

Was sunny day out today washed the dogs, went bike riding, made some jelly and some Choc chip scones! as well as painting.

Oh Oh Chéri

Mon: Presentation over (phew) felt so devo afterwards for the rest of the day though. headache.
Tue: Conservation centre. It was so interesting! was planning to stay home this day. Saw how they restored old artworks and went to this underground place where they keep all these docs on bureaucracy and all. After had lunch at Don Tojo with Kelly! was good.
Wed: Cleaned room. Attempt to work on criticism.
Thu: Went to the Festival of Nations at Melb Uni, food! takoyaki balls.Witnessed Gangnam style flashmob. At lib: Attempt criticism. At night found out I chose the wrong topic to do!! when I read the assessment page again. All my time wasted.
Friday: Finished it off! Started a painting from my slack of prac work.

Another paper due Mon! oh I like to procrastinate.

I have been falling downhill. Someone nearly got me. It's like a therapy session that makes you think and let everything out but no not me. Well not today. I have found my way again but haven't attempted anything yet. Soon oh soon.

Have a piece in Proud 2012.

Woop di doo

Naughty chums.

It has been awhile! so many things to update on, kinda. Been starting on theory work for a presentation in 2 weeks and a textual criticism. It has been stressing me out that I can't do other work without thinking about it. My current prac work is not going so well as I'd like it to either. After the break, I've just gone blank. Made canvases today. Here's some things I've created so far. 

Greetings.  

Collage  

Oink.

Dot, I think I may have wrecked it.

Went to the Art Fair this few weeks ago and made some of these monsters on monster land! The art fair took the whole day for me and K to look at everything. 11am til 4.30pm. craazy. 

'Cat house' : Painting done on holiday break.

Shoes for Cindy's cute cousin!

The day I sliced my finger from cleaning a microwave safe can container.. shivers. I can still feel the pain writing about it now.  eep,

Kitty and his new furry friend.

Life drawing

Dora McRae drawing intensive. Life drawing in a week. 5 days 4 different mentors plus one day of celebrating/mini exhibition. It's not like the normal life drawing classes, they all had a little twist to it. First day was intense! so tired, exhausted from long hours of just drawing but overall it was a great experience. learnt different techniques, ways to see things, seeing how others work.
