week 18

In the last week of semester 2 I felt it seems only yesterday that Mr Charles told us about our final assignments that we have to interview some one who is famous and artist and I was confused as I really had no idea about any chines or Malaysian artist and I could not find any Iranian artist in Malaysia but as we all know time flies and we did it and its done and Mr Charles informed us that we have presentation on 18 December 9:30 am to 12 Pm he was not sure about the venue but he is going to inform us about that as well so wish me luck <3

week 17

In these days of week 17 Im almost done with translating the interview and It was really difficult to do that as it is too long conversation and I faced some trouble with translating our proverb and phrases that we use in our day to day life which really don't have any translation in English it is just like I can only replace it with words in English but not the same word that we use but any way as long as it sends the same meaning its okay .

Week 16

This week, Chuah Tien Ling and Gan Ka Cong entered our group.
To be honest, I don't know what is the problem that they decided not to be in the same group with each other any more but what ever is this Wei suggested to Mr Charles that she is agree for Cong and Chloe to join our group as it is only three weeks till the end of semester 2.And she called me as well to see weather I am okay with that or not and I said I have no problem with that.and they had discussion with Wei and it seems that she told them to look for an artist or a designer and keep her update of their work progress. They did update us from time to time and asked Wei  if the artist or designer they chosen are okay to interview or not.

Week 15

Last week, Me, Jia Lun and Wei went to interview Asghar Yaghoubi. At the end of the interview we realised that the audio is not working so I decided to make another appointment with Mr. Asghar Yaghoubi again. It was fortunate that he gladly agreed to do the interview.

However, I went to interview him alone because Jia Lun and Wei had something personal things to do so they might no be able do the interview with me. And I decided to take my sister with me to set up the camera and be there to help me if I needed any one to do so and it all went well ..always second time would be better as it is another chance to cover the mistakes that you made last time so either me and Mr Yaghoubi knew what to do and it was a great pleasure that I could meet him again and he invited us for a exhibition that he is going to hold off next week which I am really interested to see either new art work or new artist that I have never met but Its just I am not sure if we have Figure drawing final submission in that very day .

Week 14

Research on Asghar Yaghoubi

Week 13

We got reply from the Iranian artist and he agreeed to interview with us. It was a pleasure and. he give us a set of dates to choose. Me and Wei discussed about it and
We also meet up with Mr. Charles in Block C Level 9. He catched up with us and ask us about our process. For our group, Jia Lun couldn't attend due to persinal problems. Mr. Charles explained about how we need to do the video so that we can achieve the contextual studies. Other than that, Mr. Charles told us that our estimated presentation dates will be most probably on Week 17 and pass up the report by Week 18. He also show us the examples of the report so we have the brief idea about it.He also said it would be interesting and different if I manage to speak with Iranian artist in our own language and later with wei's help and me we can make subtitle for it .And I am just SO interested to see how it goes .

Week 12

  One of my friends named Wei is starting with the editing of the video. In the mean time, my group hope we can interview one more artist and I came up with the idea of having interview of an Iranian artist which I met in art expo gallery and If he reply me it would be awesome .

Week 11

In this week of our class which I am still in my hometown it seems that Profound Axis contacted Jia Lun 
 and told him we can meet him this week.But as I can not be with them they are going to interview with out me . So he told my other group mates to meet him on 16 October 2014. , Jia Lun and wei will be going to do the interview. wei prepare the cameras and device for audio recording while Jia Lun is preparing the questions as he is the interviewer.

Jia Lun and wei went to Profound Axis on the 16th and they interview Mr. Ng, the director of Profound Axis. He is nice and friendly and he gave their lots of tips and advises while doing the interview. As in future, wei and I want to be an interior designer, he taught them a lot of things. wei learnt a lot from him and he even tell them that we can come to Profound Axis for internship in the future.

After the interview, wei realised that she can actually learnt a lot of things through this interview. It was a good experience for them and a worth time for it.

week 9 

One of my group mates had researche about A Designer that I do not know much about him and this post belongs to my friend.

Research on Designer
I found one fashion designer in Malaysia and did some research about him. He is Rico Rinaldi.

The local fashion scene has a new star. It's Rico Rinaldi. And he's fast making a name for himself.  One of the spotlight of known young fashion designer, Rico Rinaldi creates a sense of individuality from various elements. The 27-year-old designer loves the art of draping for his high end touch and for the ready-to-wear and bridal's collection is a state of his creativity. Having caught the designing bug from the tender age of 10, as he watched with admiration and pride how his mum, who had a knack in tailoring, turned bales of cloth into fashionable pieces of apparel, years later, he joined the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Cyberjaya. He succeeded in becoming a graduate student who was awarded the Best Lifestyle Designer 2008 by the university for fashion and retail design.

He was the 1st student out of his classmates that have won a fashion competition even he was just in semester 2, a glorious winning at Malaysian Batik Fashion Accessories Design Competition in 2006.

The win prompted him to join another competition  - The Paco Rabanne "Black XS is The New Black Fashion Couture Design" - which garnered him the top prize for the women's wear category.

The Triumph Inspiration Award held at Pavilion - where participants were required to design lingerie -added another feather in Rico's cap. He managed to get the National, 2nd runner up title.

In 2009, he participated in the Mercedes Benz Stylo Young Designer Award by MODA (Malaysian Official Designers Association). With his Queen of India collection, Rico was chosen as one of the the top 12 finalists.

Along the way, he's worked in Limkokwing University with his care to shine and build the other young talents of his students to gain the industry experience as he worked as tutor in Fashion Event Coordinator. While that in 2010 he was  voted top3 for The Young Designer to Watch in 2010 by Tongue in Chic Annual Style Awards.

Bring in his name as well as his label up to shine in the fashion industry he won Piala Seri Endon 2009 with the theme called Republic Flora. A long research on the floral motive while drawing inspiration from anti-war efforts in the United States of America where the term ‘Flower Power’ was widely used especially against the war in Vietnam during the 1960’s. Rico said that the strength and conviction of the efforts although masked behind the gentlest form of creation, a flower, conveys the true essence of Batik which is a dominant craft executed with extreme gentleness and detail.With three garments on display - women’s casual, women’s evening wear and men’s formal Rico made to the finals against a total of 122 entries.

in 2011, he was nominated for The Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Fabulous Awards in The Young Designer Award along with other top young Malaysian designers.

His dream came true when in 2011, awarded for the Anugerah Pereka Muda Terbaik (Best Young Designer Award) Anugerah Pesona Tenun Berita Harian and flaunt the winning collection to London and the chance to further his study at London Fashion School of Art in Customized Pattern Making and Fitting.

Week 8

In this week of our class I had leave and I was In Iran for a short time trip but I had asked from my friends about the meeting that they had and they informed me that they are discussing with my two other groupmates. they decided to make Eric Leong as our second option. Because we are waiting for reply from Profound Axis, wenthink is better we search for more designer beforehand. So we emailed him.
In the mean time, they went to borrow cameras and went tomsearch for a microphone for that week as wei is doing most technical things. they didn't do much this week.

 Last Assignment

                                          Paint To Music

This assignment was really enjoyable which it didn't need any thinking process we were suppose to choose one song each of us and play it during our class section ,and paint what ever we feel we have to paint and play with colors..first we played the songs that we classmates chose,some were so cheerful and dancing and some were not and it almost made one of my friend cry :D but because I was in the mood of dancing and happy I chose one gypsy kings Salsa music and I painted a spanish dancer using bright and strong colors such as res and black I also used yellow because its a very happy color and I enjoyed it so much .
The second part was classic music that Miss Lisa played for us which was very calm and melow and I sometimes listen to that kind of music its very relaxing when I need to be relax and calm I play classic music thats why I felt I want to paint using light colors but at the end I decided to drop some dark colors to show the up tones of music.
as you can see lines are horizontal so it shows the calmness that music had .

                                                   BATIK

what is batik? 

      is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth made using this technique. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting, also spelled tjanting), or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap . The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to color selectively by soaking the cloth in one color, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colors are desired. A tradition of making batik is found in various countries, including Nigeria, China, India, Malaysia, Philippines and Sri Lanka; the batik of Indonesia, however, is the most well-known. Indonesian batik made in the island of Java has a long history of acculturation, with diverse patterns influenced by a variety of cultures, and is the most developed in terms of pattern, technique, and the quality of workmanship.[1] On October 2009, UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

On 5 of December we went to Batik trip for one of our assignments and we were suppose to make our own pattern that we ketch in class among group .
these are our sketches

we decided to make a park with cute animals so our topic was Animal.an each one of u chose one favourite pet and we were suppose to make it fit in A3 size.
