Some of you would have heard by now that I will not be teaching you from next term onwards. I have resigned because I am not feeling very well these days.
I am pregnant! You can't see my tummy because I'm less than 3 months pregnant. But it is also in these 3 months that vomiting is the worse. For the past 2 weeks I have not been able to eat or drink --- everything is vomited out. So I have no strength, especially if I need to shout at naughty classes. Shouting makes me feel like vomiting too.
So I need to stay at home and get well. I'm not sure when or if I will be returning to Nan Chiau.
There will be a new teacher coming to teach you in Term 2. She is an ex-student of Mdm Ngor, who teaches Sec 2-5 Art. Ask the new teacher to teach you how to draw manga! I heard that she's good in that :)
Please continue to like Art and put in effort for it. I'll see you for our last lesson this coming week. All the best for your Common Tests!

We learnt that dots combine to become a line, which joins other lines to make up a shape.
Here are the videos I wanted to show you in class but some classes could not see them because of technical problems:
Dots (1940)
Dots and Lines
Line Dot Detective
Love Story Between The Dot and The Line *must see!
Our next project is creating a portrait of ourself, or a friend in class. Some of you wanted to draw Mrs Low, so pls go ahead.
The style we follow is that of Pablo Picasso, the Spanish painter known for disfiguring his subjects and using shapes to draw them. Here is his picture, and some samples of his work.
What is texture? It is what your hand feels if you run it over a surface. It can be smooth or rough, sometimes you can even feel patterns sticking out.
For our first project we made texture shadings by rubbing over a pattern with our pencil or colour pencil. Here're some of the best works across the entire Sec 1 level. You can click on them to enlarge and see the details.
My other cat helped me choose!
These are the best effort winners:
The same parrot can be presented in different ways:
More good works:
One thing you would notice is that all these works are neat. I remind you again to have patience and put effort into creating a tidy masterpiece. Why let messiness spoil a perfectly good drawing? :)
