Midterm Project (History of Indo Art) - Booklet (Continued)

I'm finally done with my booklet! I had so much trouble on figuring out whether I wanted to make a catalog, brochure or booklet. Once I chose what I wanted to make, I didn't know whether I should make it on computer or manually. So "many" problems I face in this world. I had more than a week to complete this task. I first came up with this:

I used a calendar that was lying around the house and wanted to cover up the calendar months using colored paper. 

I thought it was a good idea (at first) but I then felt like I didn't like the idea anymore... So I completely changed everything two days before the submission date and came up with this:

Not a clean worker.

Front cover! 21cm x 21cm made out of cardboard. Inspired by nothing but the Instagram icon!

Red, orange, yellow, light green, dark green color scheme. 

Brief introduction and content.

So much mess to clean, but it's completely worth it...

Midterm Project (History of Indo Art) - Booklet

On Friday, 15th of November, our Indonesian History class headed off to Galeri Nasional Indonesia. Fortunately, there was the SEA Triennale 2013 Exhibition which displayed artworks from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, Japan, China and Pakistan. There were a bunch of cool displays that I'm eager to show on this blog. Because there were a bunch of artworks, I'll just show 8 of my favorite stuff.

"Dreamer of Dream"

A display showing a variety of dimension. Made by Whooop from the Philippines on 2013.

"White Pages"

A zoomed in image of Willy Himawan's oil painting done on a 190cm x 120cm canvas in 2013.

"Summer of Myanmar"

A zoomed in image of an oil painting Zaw Win Pe created on a 153cm x 213cm canvas in 2013.

"After Party #3"

Indonesian artist, Eddie Prambadono, created a installation of a twisting vespa that reached up to 4 meters long!

"Two Little World Dialogue"

An installation by Indonesian artist, MG Pringgotono, made out of hand drawn maps on the helmets and is placed on a blackboard with arrows showing the name of the area.

"Identifying Indonesia Series - The Alphabet of Territory"

An Indonesian artist, Aditya Novali used a bunch of materials and displayed them on 33 panels of 30cm x 22,5cm representing each province in Indonesia.

"Welcome to the Jungle"

An awesome hand cut paper installation created by an Indonesian artist, Rudy Atjeh in 2013.

"Genjilang Neurotik Djiwo Sleborz 1"

Indonesian artist, Mufti Priyanka, made a display made of many mixed media objects.

There were so many other cool artworks being displayed in the museum! Who knew that a museum would amuse me (ha ha). Now all I got to do is make a booklet of the artworks! If you have a suggestion on how I should make the booklet, please feel free to comment down below!!!

Midterm Project (Color Theory) - Self Portrait Mosaic

The title of the post basically explains on what we had to make for our color theory midterm. I first drew out (a really ugly) sketch of myself. I then added triangles and lines on my face, hair and background to create a mosaic. Once I finished doing that, I painted my mosaic according to the kind of person I am. I don't really know why I chose colors though... And for the background, we were allowed to use mixed media. So I chose to use images from the newspaper which had the color green. So below is the final product and the picture I am supposedly supposed to draw (it doesn't look similar at all)!

Epic fail!

Manual Eye Drop Tool

What we basically had to do for this task is pick up the main colors being seen in the image. Once we chose the colors, we paint it on a 200gr paper and cut it into any shape, as long as it's clear of course. 

For this first task, we had to use poster paint. The image I chose was pretty simple because the colors being seen are just shades of blue and brown. The photo was taken from my friend's flickr account!

For this task, we had to use watercolor paint, which was slightly more tricky. Not only that, we had to use a well known painting. I chose a painting by Georges-Pierre Seurat called A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (and I chose this painting because of The Office!). This one was a little hard because it turns out that this painting is made out of dots.

Color Wheel

We had our first color theory class on the 2nd of October and we learned about... burgers. Haha, we obviously learned about color! We just learned some basic stuff and we were told to make a color wheel.

Sorry for not posting 'before photos', I forgot to take them. This is the final product!

So what we had to do first was to make the outline of the color wheel using a compass, ruler, pencil and an arc. After that we painted in the primary colors first using poster paint. Afterwards, we got onto the secondary and tertiary colors.

It was actually really fun making this! Sadly I had a difficult time making it as neat as possible. I'm assuming that painting reflects who you are as a person (in this case you can probably tell that I'm somewhat sloppy). Oops.
