For the last class of 2d design and the last day of the whole course, we did a special assignment named paint to music. This activity is to let our emotions and body movement flows according to the music and express it on a big watercolor paper. This assignment is categorize into 2 parts which is the contemporary musics and classicals. The classicals is provided by Miss Lisa whereas for the contemporary music, all the members in the class will have to choose a song and send it to Wei Yi for compilation. I chose the song skinny love by birdy.
On the day, I prepared arcrylics, water color and some brushes to paint. Due to some techinical issues, the class is delayed for awhile which we will have rime to rest before the class since most of us did'nt sleep the night before for assignments. When the class starts, we are told to find our own spots and I chose to paint it on the floor since my paper is quite large in size. After that we start the session with the contemporary music first.
In the starting of the session, I really don't know what to draw. But after a minute, a sudden idea just pop in my mind and I tried to start the painting with a spot. The spot then follows the music which elaborates into a skirt. After that, the music changed to a moodless and sad song. I used a light blue colour for the background. After the song change to a strong song my emotions goes aggresive and i starts to splatter the paint on the paper. After a few songs the session ends and the dong i chose did not have the chance to be played due to time constraint.
Below will be the first painting:
The painting started from a girl. Then it became an ice below after the songs changes, i drew a crack on the surface of the ice. And the clouds with a gloomy tone. After that i drew a fence and trees in the end the song changed to a dubstep song and i started to splatter the paints. After i saw the painting, i realized that it reflects what i think about myself. In the part where the fence, the clouds, the cracks are blocking the way, it reflects that im stucked in my own thoughts and the trees painted in gold reflects the good things behind which i never see in the past and the splatter is the things i wants to let go and the things i lost.
In the second session which is the classical music session, Miss Lisa asked us to play with strokes and let the music take over our emotions. The session starts with the song Canon and I paint the music using blue and flowing strokes like a waterfall. The following music had quite similar tones with a richer emotions which makes the strokes slightly aggresive. After that, i realized that classical music have a balance which brings peace and calm and therefore i chose to paint the two sides of the paper slightly similar and play the strokes and dots according to the music. In this part, i understand and thought alot about the situation which i am in at the moment which i just want to let go.
Below will be the second painting:
I feel sorry for Miss Lisa as I couldn't give my full effort in doing the last assignment. Besides that, I am thankful to join the class as I found alot about myself and the ways to express myself.
