Monogram stenciling and printing

After Ms Lisa finalized our sketches, the next thing we had to do is stenciling. We printed our drawing on a transparent paper and then cut it out. After that, I used different colours to stencil my monogram. At the beginning, we were told to select 6 items and print our monograms on it. So, let's take a look of my monogram on 6 items. 

Thanks for spending time on my blog, will be updating more....

Monogram sketching in progress

Today, we spent our day sketching in the class. Then, Ms Lisa would be giving us some feed backs and tell us what to do.... I also tried to sketch with different colours and see how it will goes. This was a quite meaningful class since Ms Lisa keep giving us some comments on our monogram sketches. I've learnt from this lesson.

Monogram assignment

This day, Ms Lisa explained about logo and monogram. She also gave us a brief about our 4th assignment which is monogram design. We were told to design our own monogram and print it on 6 selected items. First, she told us to borrow some books from library to do our research for designing a logo and also some references. So, all of us went to library and started to look for our books. I borrowed few books from there and started to do my research. After doing some research, I felt quite interested in elegant fonts. Below is the books that I borrowed from library...

Batik Trip

Yeah...this day, we were going for a batik trip. It was a one day trip and we would be finishing our batik assignment by this day. I was so excited and glad that I could go for this batik trip, because I never do batik before. This means a new experience for me... This is a batik gallery which located at Kuala Lumpur. Then, we started with our batik painting. There was also some workers who keep helping us during the whole process. Special thanks to them. It was quite hard to draw to outline of our drawing by using the wax. But still I managed to do it.

This is our batik painting....

After we coming back from there, we've waited for few days to receive the batiks from the batik gallery. Next, we got our batiks back...It was time for presentation...

Assignment 3- Batik

After a short semester break, and we were back! It was time for a new assignment... This day, Ms Lisa gave us a short brief of the new assignment, which was a batik assignment. First thing that we have to do is to form a group of 4 persons. So, here is my group members, Marwa, Twinnce and Annie. After that, we were told to sketch about our batik theme. Then, all groups need to post up our sketches and let Ms Lisa choose it. So, have a look of our sketches...

After that, Ms Lisa said that she's quite keen on the mermaid theme and asked us to develop it further. She wanted us to make a good composition on it so that it can divided to 4 pieces...

Here is our final sketch after developing...

Will updating about it, Thank you!

Paper Cutting Presentation

Now it's time for Ms Lisa to finalize our drawings...After she choosing my symmetrical sketches, Ms Lisa keen on 2 of my asymmetrical drawings, it's hard to choose it because Ms Lisa said 2 of them looked quite nice. But yet, she chose it. Below is my final sketches.

After that, it's time to start my cut out session! I started to cut the symmetrical first, because the drawing that I need to cut out is difficult and complicated. As the presentation was around the corner, so I would need to work faster. 

Seriously, during the symmetrical cut out, I went crazy because it was really hard and complicated. I would need to cut a small piece of paper and paste it back one by one. Besides, presentation was coming soon and I had to burn my midnight oil to finish it. But, as I promised myself and Ms Lisa that I will work harder and harder in this semester, so no matter how hard is it, I will still go through it, I will prove everyone that I can do it! 
Yeah~I did it! Here's my final outcome...

Here, I have to say 'Thank you' to Ms Lisa. I've learnt a lot from this assignment, not just the cutting skill but it also taught me not to give up whenever I have troubles. Finally, I succeed. And fortunately, the final outcome didn't disappoint Ms Lisa. I felt really proud of myself because I did it. Thank you, Ms Lisa! 

Paper Cutting Assignment

"What's in your square?" Today's lesson was about our very first individual assignment. Basically, "what's in your square" is about expanding the squares. We will have a square paper and what we need to do is design anything within the square. After that, we need to cut out our drawings and expand it by pasting it out of the square. There's two things we have to do, one is a symmetrical paper cutting, another is asymmetrical paper cutting. Actually this assignment is a bit similar with one of our assignment in semester 1 which was also a paper cutting assignment. I felt quite excited because I love paper cutting so much. Let's have a look of my rough sketches of this assignment.

Next, we will need to finalize our sketches by Ms Lisa. She will be choosing one of the best sketches from our symmetrical and asymmetrical drawing.
Thank you! :D
