River Safari 1

Art is everywhere. Even in River Safari! I had so much fun taking all these pictures and discovering new things :)

The place they designed for the beaver to stay consist of woods and branches and if it were to climb up, it'll lead itself to a mini river, where the ducks are. Isn't it a cute design?

Beavers. Known commonly for making dams. But i never would have thought that a dam could go as big as 8 football fields and can be seen from a satellite above. Isn't it incredible?? How the heck does a beaver construct a dam without the wood or whatever flowing away? they may have constructed it in a certain way to prevent it from flowing away. A form of design and architecture!

What's more interesting and disgusting is that a beavers dispense/ urine can be found in certain medication! I also once read that certain perfumes contain their discharge too! because it smells like vanilla. Gross..

The Indian Gharial. Their skin, filled with lines with patterns, creating the hardness and roughness, that protects them and allows them to camouflage in the wild. The tank that they were being put in was bright and clean, with logs, to really get a wild life kind of feel.

 

This tank that contained 3 different kinds of species was tall and wide and with lesser sunlight, making the atmosphere of the tank looking eerie and creepy.

This snake, the Elephant Trunk Snake, is covered with lines as well with patterns on it. And it really does look like an elephant trunk. The tank designed for this snake blends with it really well and it is bright. Logs and rocks are also used to create the tank. 

The Golden Pheasant. With feathers that are colorful and bright, It is no wonder they kept the area simple, so as to let the pheasant stand out.

Kai Kai and Jia Jia. They are unique in having black and white on their furs. It's like a contrast.

3D Fundamental assessment work (Juxtaposition) 1

We have come to our final project in school for 3D class and this time we are required to make a sculpture out of the theme : Juxtaposition.

I sure did not enjoy myself doing this project. Because I got a bit confused as to what i'm supposed to juxtapose and my teacher kept rejecting my ideas :(

And what's worse, during presentation day, teacher said my juxtaposing isn't strong and i should make adjustments to my model.
Anyway, I took pictures of all of my classmates sculpture too! They are seriously talented people.

This sculpture look like it's made by a professional artist and someone brought it over from the museum or art gallery. But, no. My friend, Wen Xin made it. Everyone was super impressed with the quality of her work! Her work was on Life and Death. Life is represented by the baby and Death, represented by the dying flower.

This is a sculpture of a tree that is half man-made and natural. The man-made tree consist of things like, needles, screws, satellite dishes and wires while the natural side is just made of branches.

I don't know what my friend is trying to show but, as you can see, the cigarette box is filled with crayons. Maybe to add a little more color to life, instead of smoking?

This work has got something to do with fear. If i'm not wrong, it is about how people always see these ferry wheel as fun, but, the truth is it's actually scary because of the height when it goes up. So my friend turned the cabin into a cage-like cabin, to show fear and trapped.

I like this model my friend made even though i don't know the meaning behind it, I like how she turned newspapers into shoe lace. I would buy it.

             This model is a coffin, with the insides containing gold coins and a skull.

Beauty vs Filthiness. No matter how beautiful you are on the outside, the filthiness inside of you will make you a beast in overall. As you can see from the filthy teeth in the mouth. Gross!

A bed with needles. A bed is where people go to rest after a long tiring day. It's the most comfortable thing on earth. But, we also get nightmares from sleeping sometimes, which makes us scared of sleeping, as shown from the needles poking out of the bed.

Plastic jellyfishes in a dying turtle. This model sends out a strong message that if we continue to throw plastic bottles in the ocean, a turtle, who eats jellyfishes, might mistake the plastic bottle for a jellyfish, hence the plastic jellyfishes inside the stomach of a dying turtle. Turtles are gonna be endangered soon!!

Modern vs Traditional. A swing is a traditional thing where every child would play. and i think my friend used cables to show that modern things are taking over tradition. (I think.)

A day at Singapore Arts Museum :)

I can never leave a museum without feeling pleased and in awe. 

This exhibition, the 360 Degree Sensorium was amazing! :)

It left me with a deep impression.

That's me standing in my mini laser cage. When i first went in i was afraid that the laser would burn me. but, they were just lights. It's interesting how a few laser could form patterns and how it forms a cage. Me and my friends even competed with each other that we must walk around avoiding the lasers. There were also smoke coming out, covering the lasers, giving it a different effect.

hello stranger :)

I find this piece of work really cool. You are supposed to listen to the music through the headphones and smell the scent in the glass tubes. and guess what? they match. Literally. Even without reading the description at the side, i could feel that the music matched the smell! which i find super cool!!

This was torture. I don't know what this piece of work meant and the smell of each glass bottle was just awful. There were color stickers pasted in front of each bottle. Maybe they were trying to show colors of smell?

That's my friend Jennifer trying this maze thing where the goggle-like thing is connected to a camera right at the top corner of this maze. So, we had to make our way out of the mini maze through looking at the camera above us, which wasn't easy.

 

Bean bags? Nope. Not your ordinary bean bags. This piece of work is for us to touch and to be touched by... a human female breast, by trying to reconnect our sense of touch, since when we were still a baby, the only thing we can do is feel and touch, and i think the artist wants us to have a feel of 

how it was like.

The 5 of us enjoying ourselves amongst the breasts. hahahaha :)

Can you spot me? A non-artistic person would have said i was an extra. But i say, "This is balance." :)

SAM at 8Q :)

Our teacher brought us out of class today to this SAM at 8Q. The moment we went in, we saw these doodles on the floor. They were messy in a very artistic way. Not the kind of mess where you'd complain about. I have also never seen art work on the floor before. So i find it really unique.

         Even on the walls, table and chair.

This was a super cool and cute revolution of the human transformation from the time of the dinosaurs.

Same face, different style.

This was a really cute doll astronaut.

Nice graphic of comic-like characters. I've never seen anything like it before.

I find this super cute and funny. it's pictures of real humans put into frames with cut-out ladders and flowers cut out from paper.

3D comic? how cool? and how cool is it to create your own comic characters?

After today, i really want to have my art works displayed somewhere one day :)
