OKIDO Workshop-1

I Feel so lucky that i can join in this illustration project. I really love drawing especially draw for children.
Our tutor Rachel she is such a lovely woman, i can feel she's full of passion for illustration, and she's really kind to help us and gives us suggestion and advice. Again, I'm really lucky in this group.

This is what we did on the first lesson. we were told to use red and blue colour papers to cut and paste on a piece of paper. In this process, we can try and create our characters in the habitat that we gave it. This was really fun that in the process, it was not just thinking about what kind of character you want to create, but at the some time, you will automatically give your character some stories in your brain! you keep cutting and pasting at the same time, you're telling yourself and giving story to your character, that is the most fun part for me in this process. Because when I draw, this is also a "self talking" time  for me.

This is what we did

Looks nice is a row!

Like these shapes of the chracters!

This is lovely! :)

In the middle are my first try of mushroom characters. My habitat is rain forest. Have to improve some more tho. :)

Project for next term! Okido: Illustration!

Luckily i've got my first choice of project for next term! The reason I choose this project is because i like illustration, and this company is also focus on children development, i think its quite relevant to what i've learned in university in Taiwan (my major in Taiwan is Applied Psychology) and i love kids as well!

Here are some illustrations of Rachel Ortas who is gonna lead us for the next term project! I think my style of illustration i cant say its similar with hers but i think we have some common which are simple lines and not perfect!

For me, imperfect illustrations can become an unigue art work as well. Like children's draw, the outcome maybe not perfect, but because its imperfect, so they're special, aren't they? :)

OKIDO magazine~ I'm in!!!

Photography Exhibition @ LCC

Really love this exhibition held on last week. Everytime when i went trough, i couldnt help to stop and look at these photos. it's like there are so many stories to tell behind the photos. They are vivid, and full of emotions that bring me into them.

My favorite parts of this exhibition

this series of photo shots is also my favorite! and its quite touched me!

this note was kept by Shodor.

before he shared this postcard with us, i didnt pay much attention on this series of photo shots, but after knowing the story behind, it touched me, cuz i had the same situation and experience of my mother.

introduction of her photo shots

the touched wall

Really feel lucky that i can study here and stand in front of the wall every time enjoy any kinds of art works from different courses and different countries' students. Hope that there's one day, there will be mine on the wall....:)

Typography

I noticed this interesting ad when i waited for my bus.

There's a theory in psychology talking about human's cognitive system that we are likely to replace something unfamiliar with what we've already known. Like this example below: even *,@ ! are not letters, but we've known they refer to o, a and i.
