first clay lesson in art today lol
and we had to learn how to work
on clay for 2 weeks lol.
we learnt how to knead, pinching and
pressing the clay .
we must always cover the clay with wet cloth
to maintain the moisture in the clay
we always use the tools to score
to join two clays and add slip (wet clay)
we always plan on doing the clay structure
and try out new designs and experiment with the clay.
i feel that clay work is actually tiring and messy,
but when u use effort to make the pot, u will
be proud of the outcome of the pot work :)
1st sep
things i have learnt again:
we begin by doing the clay base on the wheel,
mark the middle of the base then cut it out to
remove excess clay. after i done the touching up
with the sides and the top being balanced,
then we use coil to coil around the base
but we have to score the base and coil, add slip
to the scores then stick around it, continue by 3 more coils
with scores then we use a tool to join them to together by
thick scores then use your hand
artz lol -alicia loh

More Portraits
today's art lesson drawing
self portraits of our friends
in class using black charcoals
in a short time about 8 mins.
it was hard for others
to draw as i observed others
how they draw in such a
short time, but for me,
it was quite rush but managed
to draw the whole body of
the person and in detail.
i guess short time means
more effort and quick
skills to visualise and
draw the person and its
not easy to do that ,
and its a good experience
for us to quick drawing so
we could be prepare our
future prepwork.
added dark and light contrast
on the shades of the clothings,
and lines on the folded clothing
i focus more on the overall body
rather spend more time detailing
the face so to save time for later.
overall, its a good lesson lol
then for the second lesson,
we tried to play with
white and black colours,
to feel and make different
shades of light and dark shades
of paint, that could be useful
for my artwork and self knowledge
i tried paint a face using
white and black colours,
to create different constrasts
and highlights on the face
contouring, not really good
with painting on portraits and
its on drawing paper so its hard
but i will improve on it slowly,
that painting looks like fauvism lol .
overall, a good expereince using paint
to draw realistic images of a person
face and try out different light and dark
colours and shades out of white and
black paint.

Portraits
First Lesson of Portrait drawing,
We have to try to draw the other person's face
with what we had learnt from the basics of
drawing the formation and base of a person
face, with lines, shapes and forms.
This is the outcome result of my self
portrait of my friend's face lol. but i think
i have to fix the drawing of his hair abit ahha,
but its a good first experience to draw someone
to see how it feels to draw realistic things
and challenge your drawing skills for olevels hah,
First realistic painting of a person's face.
I started with a basic face with his body traits
ans painted half of his face, By starting with
the base colour of a person face, then adding darker
base colour for contrast at the sides to make
the face look realistic.
Then we tried to painted fauvism for the
other half of the face, i tried to mix all
colours to make a colour combination
making the whole painting look unique
and different, for my opinion for fauvism
as everyope wants to try their own style
and painting to experiment and experience
painting, overall, its a good experience for me
to paint realistic and i have to improve my focus
on the strokes and adding light colours to it , making
it look not dull.

Japanese Portraits
1. Ink and Watercolour Portrait On Paper
By Tsuguharu Foujita (1930)
Impressionism is shown as the main focus of this portrait.
The layer of ink and watercolour paint makes the portrait looks blurry
on paper instead of using canvas. I think the artist wants to experiment with
different art materials to make the portrait looks interesting. I assume the artist
wants to mix of using different art materials to creates an impression out
of something new to experiment his paintings .
2. Fujiwara no Nobuzane
By Fujiwara Nobuzane
The main focus of this painting shows cubism and abit of De Stjil .
The use of lines to form the shapes of the man's body makes
a unity in the portrait. Also the use of big space in the rest of the
background makes the portrait looks spacious. I think the artist
uses lines, shapes and space as a main focus for the portrait;'s simplicity.
Cubism and De stijl are shown using the lines, space and shapes in the
portrait to make it look simple but vast.
3. Portrait Of Yoritmoto
By Fujiwara Takanobu (1179)
The painting of this portrait shows impressionism as the focus.
The use of texture on the backgroundcolour makes it looks
more abstract. Details of the pattern design on the man's clothes,
that creates harmony in the portrait. The artist wants to show
impressionism of this portrait by using vague lines, shapes,
texture and pattern in the aspects of this painting.
4. Hosokawa Takakuni (1543)
The main focus shows Realism in this portrait painting.
The contrasts of the man clothing that make the shadows
look realistic. Also, the texture on the background makes a
harmony out of detailed lines being crossed if closely viewed.
I think the artist wants to show realism of the man in the
portrait using alot of details on production on this portrait.
Big use of production and time used for this portrait painting
which it make look realistic and specific.
5. Kikuchi Yōsai, self-portrait
By Kikuchi Yosai.
Expressionism is shown in the artist's self portrait as the main focus.
He used monochrome ink that makes the portrait looks vague and surreal

looks more practical and artistic.
6.Young Girl Standing
By Ryusei Kishida (1923)
Surrealism is shown as the main focus in this portrait
painting. Use of contrast on the girl that makes it
look more vintage look as the light use
reflects on the girl creates the dark contrast for the
balance in the details of this portrait painting. The
distort of shape of the girl's body has expanded.
I think the artist wants to use the girl as the emphasis
of this whole portrait painting to express realism.
using dark and light contrasts to make the girl look
surreal and real in the painting which the artist wants
to show.

whole painting feel sadistic and surreal.
