Origami

Hello all!
This is my mood right now...


Freedom seems almost within my grasp...it's so difficult to gather up motivation to study...
ponies.


Today I had my art exam and it was...okay. I could've done better, I didn't write very eloquently and I misread one of the questions and had to start again. And by misread, I mean that I analysed a completely different artwork than the one stated by the question. woops.
At night I was invited to the 2011 MWSC Arts Awards evening, which was pretty good! It featured the best art from across the year levels, and other stuff, it wasn't a bad way to spend an evening which should have been spent studying, ahaha.
I won some things.
I edited out my face for your viewing pleasure.

Is it somewhat ironic that I bought my art supplies from Zart Art. No? I wouldn't know, irony escapes me.

That's pretty much it from me...I suspect my life will be fairly non-eventful until exams are over and even less eventful after that. Artistically, I don't have anything going on right now; here's something I did in the holidays, but I never posted it on my blog because it was so embarrassing. Some people found it anyway so you know what, whoop-de-doo.

Ew, you can see my face, what on earth was I thinking?
If any of you are wondering, the music I used was To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra...
This happened rather spontaneously one very early morning...the scene at the start...I think it was 5am? That's why the lighting was kinda terrible. I think I ran it through a multitude of weird video makers; I spent ages and ages searching for one that was easy to use and user-friendly since Windows Movie Maker can't display the file type my camera films in, BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANY RAAAWRGH.
It was so frustrating, I just gave up in the end, so there you have it, the final product.

After:


I took pictures of other stuff lying around my room.
I forgot the name of this one. It's like a spiky ball though.


This one's a mushroom. It was surprisingly difficult to make.

This one is a spiral, it goes longer when you squeeze it in the middle.

And this one's called a firework.

And this is why.

It flips inside out, wheeeee!
It's my happy origami family.
My next few posts will probably be similar to this. I wish I had time to be arty.

A Sporadic Post

Hello there!
Just a shoutout to those kind people who commented on my blog recently; thank you so much for your comments, they really made my day!


I should really be studying right now, but I'm finding I have a rather blasé attitude towards revision...my first exam is Art, and after looking at the exams and assessor's reports, it's largely opinion-based. As long as you provide a sufficiently strong argument, anything you say is correct. Like, what?
So I can't really be bothered studying for it. However I probably should, as VCAA has determined that the theory side of art is worth 50% of your final grade. Blah. I disagree with this decision, the art side should be worth way more, but meh.


So anyway, as a way of procrastinating, I've dug up some random stuff, some of which is forgotten blog content and some of which is entirely arbitrary.
enjoy~


Perhaps these images require a little explanation? 
The second image is from the day of my Japanese Oral Exam; we stole marbles from Big W. So hardcore, right? The card me and Judith made for our Japanese teacher is behind it; unfortunately we neglected to take photos of it and the other card. Bummer.
The last images are things I drew to try and spice up my blog. I like black and white images, they somewhat hide bad lighting.
And the weird third image...I think I was trying to take a photo of the moon.
Go my photography skills.


I think that's about all I have...I'll save the rest for another post, perhaps. I'll go study now. It's 1:30 am.


P.S. Whilst browsing my photos I found these images of when I was working on my sculptures.



Hrmm...the graphite left a pretty large stain on my fingers...not too bad though, right?


...oh dear.
