Manga
Tuesday, 2. May 2006, 20:53:36
I've made my first attempts at drawing "Manga" and "Anime".
It's for my art exam at school, we can pretty much draw what we like, but we have to do all the appropriate preparation. One of the suggestions is language. So my idea was to draw about the "language barrier" between two English and Japanese Lovers. I thought that in this I could merge Manga and Pop-art.
Hope you're all well

Yesh- I can certainly see many problems. But this was my first official attempt (posted by request)

My world
This years Nihongo cup (a Japanese speaking competition which our school is -forcibly- suggesting we enter) is about My World. The leaflet says;
"You are free to make a speech on any topic, real or imaginary, that relates to the theme My World. Take it literally and describe the world around you and/or tell a personal story. Or you could interpret the theme more generally and talk about an ideal world or an imaginary world."
I was thinking, I could start by talking about my own life and then moving into what I would like the world to be like. Only, I'm not sure if my Japanese skills are up to it. It has to be three to four minutes long but we are allowed to read from notes, it does not have to be memorised, thank god!
Does anyone have any suggestions about where to start?!
On an entirely different subject, I was given today the results for that art work I handed in earlier in the week. I got 88%. Yay!!! My friends all got similar marks, ranging from the mid 80's to low 90's, so my mark I guess was about average-ish.
I mentioned the new project a few days ago; Identity. Well, I spent todays lesson, after queuing for results, wondering around the school trying to take photo's representing my identity. Didn't manage to get many, although I got what I at least thought was a very cute/sad photo of Friend sitting on the floor in the lockers... Although I realise this isn't about me. But hey.
Our homework over half term is to collect photos and images that represent our identity, so I figured it would be a good time to get back into photography. One problem, I don't really know what my identity is, I guess now is the time for some soul searching.... Whenever I'm asked to do things like this all I can come up with are sad things, like family problems. Thing is, I'm not a sad person anymore, it's just that for me, happy situations are more difficult to depict in art than depressing one's. Is there something wrong with me, or am I just being a normal, emotional, hormonal teenager? All my friends seem to be able to think of happy things....argh.
Speaking of teenage emotions, I loved Susan's line in desperate housewives last night:
"I'm gonna need all the support I can get. Julie's a great kid but she's nearly fifteen; she's going to turn on me any minute now."
Yesh, I suppose this is more of a blog to me than anyone else. Sorry about that folks.

Art coursework
Monday, 6. February 2006, 17:21:26
I finally handed in my art coursework today, or some of it anyway. The deadline was a few weeks ago but our teacher kept extending it because no-one was finished. Originally we were told that we had to hand in all of the prep work and the final piece, but I guess the teacher got sick of hearing excuses because she sighed and then asked for only final pieces to be handed in. Which meant I wasted hours over the last couple weeks sorting out my folder and "artist copies". Oh well. If I do decide to hand in this project at the end of the course (we d several and then hand in the best) at least I'll have done most of the work for it already.
I took photos of some of mine and my friends work.
This is Sophie's, I love the trees and the water. Aren't the fish just gorgeus!
This is Josie's. She is amazing at drawing/painting dreamy pictures.
This is Adele's. She had real trouble at first painting the face, but as you can see she corrected this problem and now her picture is brilliant!
This is mine. The two sections are different pieces of card. I loved the idea of the project but it drove me mad whilst I was working on it so I've kinda gone off it now!
The next project sounds as though it will be quite interesting, we are going to be studying identity. Next time you'll probably be seeing various paintings about lovve life and death.
I've been alternating uploading pictures and doing maths homework and I have just noticed that I've been doing the wrong sheet. That's what you get for procrastination, eh?
Gotta go correct all my work. Byebye xx
