Jordan's Review of Transfinity Exhibition

2009-07-31T08:51:00.000-07:00

Ok, so exhibition was great. The variety of artworks=AWESOME! If I have to pick a favourite, it would be the canvas painting of butterflies from the series of 12 pieces by a 12 year old girl. The 12 pieces are extracts of her journal and are meant to express her secret feelings and other stuff. All the 12 pieces were good, as they have managed the effect of hiding the artist's thoughts.

So why did I pick the butterfly one?

1. It has the ability to invoke strong feelings. (like, pins in butterflies? duh...)
2. Good colours used. The dark background allowed the brightness of the butterflies' wings to show up clearer.
3. The lack of clutter (meaning the artist didn't crowd the canvas). Just 3 butterflies were enough to bring the message across. Instead of buttefly swarms, she enlarged each butterfly to make the effect stronger.
4. Damn, because it was the first one of the 12 I could understand...

In case any of you haven't seen the particular pic I'm talking about or can't remember, it's trying to convey the message of nervouness. You know, butterflies in my stomach (or something like that). The poetry used was about the artist clutching her midriff (stomach area, she using cheem words)and trying to suppress the hateful butterflies. Leaves us to wonder as to what she could be nervous about huh?

By the way, you know how she suppress the butterflies? The painting showed pins sticking into the butterflies. WHY IS SHE SO CRUEL?! THEY'RE JUST BUTTERFLIES!

Ok, that's it. Didn't know I wrote so much...

2009-07-31T05:46:00.000-07:00

daryL See Yu Xiang's review of the art piece: (unnamed), but its a twelve Canvas painting, and it reflects about a 12 year old girl feelings within 12months(a year).

i selected one of the portraits, it shows a phone,hanging over the bed with a poem written underneath the painting.

this portrait shows rather much sorrow, as the colour use and toning is all dark brown and rather dark colours. the phone hanging over the bed, and the poem states that there is an awkward silence between the 2 friends shows a connection is lost between two friends and something bad must have happened that changed the relationship between both of them.the hanging phone shows desperateness and sorrow. rather sad portrait.

Attached are two websites tied to graphic designers that i enjoy and recently has the honour to hear them speak at a conference.

- Jackson Tan from Phunkstudio

http://www.phunkstudio.com

- Chris Lee Creative Director The Ayslum

http://www.theasylum.com.sg/corp/

Am looking at you guys reaching that level of creativity by the time you reach 18 and in the meantime, close to the type of works they produce.

Also, I had the opportunity to come up, close and personal with Zouk / Phuture Resident DJ Andrew Chow. Do check out their publicity material designs and electronic music. (House, progressive and what have you. )

Sly enjoying Art & Music all the time

Today's showcase

2009-02-06T05:00:00.000-08:00

I like the new sounds GC, JH. Refreshing. Would like the two of you to tell me if there are other music making software or DJ Mix like stuff online that could be fun to work with.

Visuals: I like the blacksmith work, not sure whose work that is. Can you look at refining the lines, draw the figure in various actions and work on a more inspiring background? The colours are well selected.

Jun Jie, Yik Chun, Brian, David, Where are your works?

Group leaders, prepare to update club on your team's activities for next week. Use 5 powerpoint slides only to share everyone's works and progress. Thanks!

Click on calendar to view details

Hi Guys,

Apologies that the font size for the DMA calendar of events was too puny to be viewed on Friday. It is now uploaded above. For this month, we will focus on participating in NOISE Sg and SLA competition plus anything on the theme REFLECTION (this is an upcoming competition organised by St Andrews, selected works will be exhibited at the National Geographic store in Vivocity).

DO check out Artworks (for inspiration) by Nanyang Girls' High Art Elective Programme students. You can follow the links to other students' blogs listed. http://sammyhammy.wordpress.com/ (one of our Marist sister's artblog)

Then go international and check out this website http://www.bbc.co.uk/blast/ and learn how other youths in other parts of the world make music and art. You can also showcase your works too.

Garageband 101

2008-08-05T08:09:00.000-07:00

GarageBand 101.

lower the tempo to around 85-100 beats per min. many songs have a tempo around that range.
make melodies using the software keyboard (apple-shift-K)
to add a bar in the track press (apple-click)
double click to add in music notes that corresponds with the melodies.
don't forget the velocity. the higher the veocity, the louder it sounds.
don't forget the octave that your using. the higher the octave, the higher the note.
in every song there should be verses, chorus and bridges.
in every song there should be one or more melody-making tracks, a bass and a drum kit.
to test out if your melody is right, use a drum loop by pressing the eye symbol.
the melody and drum beats should variate for each verse.
an example of a song format (verse-verse-chorus-bridge-chrous-verse).
a good tip: learn a few chords and chord progression. (google it)
