After a long hiatus, I'm finally here! Honestly speaking, I really miss blogging.
Stealing some spare time before I leave the house for my Exploring Drawing afternoon class, I decided to blog a bit. (:
A month since 5 Aug has passed. Yes, my LASALLE life has begun! Even my first week was madly flooded with assignments. I remembered how my first Monday on 5 Aug started. I was asked to make a wire cube. Man, it was soooo tough!!!! ):< I was totally lost! Moreover, I was only allowed to use a SINGLE, CONTINUOS wire! I have never used the plier in the nineteen years of my life.
After learning from the lecturer (he's so understanding) and practising at home, I finally managed to handle the wire better! The cube was merely a warm up exercise. The real project was to make a wire shoe. Yes, my confidence died a bit inside after the lecturer showed the class the pictures of the past students' wire shoes. However, I told myself that I should give my best and did as much as my hands could.
Finally, I've completed the wire shoe last Sunday. It was madness but a good learning process. Doing wire shoe sucked up many nights, giving me piercing wounds on my poor hands and legs. I struggled with the hooking and making stripes the most. Nonetheless, it taught me so much such as learning to find solutions, be flexible with ideas and not giving up halfway. 3D is the toughest among the other six modules.
Handling many assignments from each module is really testing my time management. It's getting tough and tough as the pile just keeps grooowwwwing! I feel like an ant as compared to Everest Mountain!
Weeks after......
I got back here. Most of my modules are due for assessments. I now understand what it means to force out inspirations when you are short of one. I vividly remember one of the interviewers warned the interviewees and me that sometimes we will be lost and out of inspirations. Often, we have to force ourselves to seek the depth of ourselves. I'm struggling with this. I realise my creativity, especially associated with surrealism is really weak. I need to improve and expand my creativity. Thankfully, inspirations came one by one but in a slow way (':
