Flowing Purity



TITLE: FLOWING PURITY
GROUP MEMBERS: RONALD FONG | JASMINE SEO | NELSON TAN | KHAIRUNNISA
COURSE: FOUNDATION 3D
LECTURER: CHRISTOPHER TOH

THEME: FRIENDSHIP . ROMANCE . VIBRANT . NATURE

CONCEPT: We sought to achieve a minimalistic and pure geometrical outlook, adhering to the abstract concept of snow and peace. This presents a pleasant outlook to its viewers and exudes a general sense of merrymaking. The top will be garnished with a splash of color to add a level of depth to the food, a sneak peek of its contents within.The insides of the food hold different colours, textures, ingredients and feel from one another. Its colorful interior is a representation of contained wonders that are meant to be expressed, a tribute to the old saying "it's the inside that counts". It is essentially a dessert dish and ultimately strives for the happiness of its consumers (the theme complies to this).

INGREDIENTS: Include various cereals, fruits and vegetables, jam, jelly, chocolate, macaroon, coconut powder and ice-cream.

APPRECIATION TO URA | Thank you URA for bring this international exhibition to us. I have learned a lot from creating drawings and architectural studies of the exhibits.

Dr. Sketchy Singapore June 2011 - Part 1

Recently attended Dr. Sketchy Singapore - basically a life drawing session.
A life drawing class turned cabaret extravaganza. Artists draw glamorous underground performers, compete in contests, and win booze and prizes. From its humble Brooklyn beginnings, it's spread to 100 cities on five continents- including London, Rome, Tokyo, Paris, Sao Paulo and Melbourne.
The sketching session comprised of 1, 2, 5, 15 and 20-minute poses and a few mini-competitions in between. I participated in the mini-competition where we had to challenge our non-master hand!

Here's my entry as featured on the Dr. sketchy Singapore Blog.
