Books


After watching three different documentaries about Glenn Gould I couldn't read his biography - kept falling asleep with the book. So I found two books and they are here. I think I am going to read all day today.

Transformation


I am so not good at saving money. I am really good at spending them though.
I have tried to keep track of my spending but no success so far. Since I am a visual person, I think this would be the best way to keep track and I can actually fallow through because I love taking pictures.
So, this is how fifty two dollars and seventy four cents transformed into.

$46.31


So today, the gas price was ONLY(?) $1.317/L
So I filled it up. Which I haven't done it forever.
Wonder how long this would last.

Numbers


Still working on my sketchbook assignment. I am ahead now. Out of boredom or try to do something new, I've started to write numbers.Because I was using different colours, I started to loose track after writing 160.So I started from 400 then I was writing from 120 heading 160. Then I started writing any numbers which was a lot easier to fill the space. Then I started to write ON the numbers. I got bored with numbers so I almost started to write alphabets then I had to stick with the original plan. I didn't know when to stop because you can count numbers forever. Eventually I got tired and stop writing numbers and looking forward to do more creative work. So I learned again about limits, sticking with rules but don't be afraid to experiemnet and always try try try.

just making sure



Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.

"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing." said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw.

"I just wanted to be sure of you."

Using Right Brain VS Left Brain



As I am watching this documentary about Jean-Michel Basquiat,
he was influenced by many different artists such as Andy Warhol, Picasso etc...

It's really amazing that JM Basquiat portrait turns out to be looking like.
It's either black Andy Warhol or white JM Basquiat and his mouth and eyes became distorted while Picasso was in the back of my head.

By doing this homework, I am finding out my habits and how my brain works when I am creating something. I am glad that I am finally exploring how I respond to things and willing to open up more about using different techniques, mediums and find out how to  draw or paint collaborating  balances between perspective and unconsciousness

#8

This is actual #8
I am not good at counting.
Just trying to finish my homework but this sketchbook assignment has been nice warm-up to work on my actual portfolios. Still two more to go.

Playing with Colours


This morning, I learned this.
" Other people's opinions or judgements do not define who I really am"
I am not afraid to be honest with myself and truthful to the others. I am learning to let go of my fears.

International Writers & Readers Festival



To complete my writing class assignment, I had to go and see the show "WORD!"
It was interesting to see the writers perform on the stage.
The writers were: Tanya Davis who played the electric guitar and sang, Zaccheus Jackson who was almost like a rapper and Sheri-D Wilson who gave me goose bumps because of her raw story.
Overall, it was great but 1 hour will be plenty enough instead of  1.5 hours.
Looking forward to finish my homework actually.

To the Diagon Alley




You just need an umbrella and tap, tap, tap - the wall.
of course, you have to know exactly which ones to tap in the right order.

Things you can buy at the diagon alley - Hogwarts school supplies and all that.
Make sure you have been accepted at the school first.
