Heart-felt
Tonight I re-learnt an important lesson: Do what only you can do. Read in one way, it also means that it’s good to know what your unique non-talents are! :p Here’s the story… ———- I think I’m in a felt

Dummy book
Final class yesterday. PY bought celebratory snacks for us. Was funny, because we’d bought cakes for a surprise celebration for his birthday today! So we had our fill before we got down to work. Final class – making a

Remember to leave a gap
Everyone should attend an art class at some point in their lives. I’ve learnt so much from my art class the last 7 Thursdays – and I’m not just referring to the how-to-draw bits. “Remember to leave a gap.

Imprints
Imprints. What is the imprint of my life, of all our lives? Yesterday evening, we spent a lot of time scoring the styrofoam. Making irreversible lines and curves. My classmates were a little scared. “Oh, this is

Flyer & Catcher
One of the curious things in Henri Nouwen’s Sabbatical Journey is his account of the life and work of a group of trapeze artists known as The Flying Rodleighs. He makes many observations about them – as artists as well

T.C.S. – Path-dependent
So. I finally got down to the assignment that needed great self-examination. It was quite fun after all! And not as ‘scary’ as I thought it would be. Although I knew, I just wouldn’t be able to include everything that

Meeting the God-grandparents
Guess who came over for dinner? “What are you drawing, Joye joye?” “A rainbow.” “Oh Ethan, the white crayon won’t show up on white paper…” [Ah, but there's always black paper...] … “Look Mummy, it’s black paper!” – (eyes

Today I read a friend’s unvaledictory report draft. He writes beautifully – it was such a treat to read! Made me think of the few memories I have of the body of work he referenced, and a lot about the

T.C.S. – White Space
Each module keeps getting better. Moving into the hard issues, which no book can give you answers to. This week’s module touched on something close to my heart: white space. “Some might argue that passive whitespace is the unconsidered space

Different Strokes
JAA & I went to the Pastel Art Exhibition yesterday evening. Good to meet up again – we both felt like our class happened a long long time ago! Good laughs at how recalcitrant we’d been… not finishing our pieces…

Falling Miracles
Snowflakes are the only Christmas ornament I can make. I first learnt how to cut them in Vancouver, 12 years ago. Started rather ungracefully; produced giant snowflakes with a few basic patterns, paper mostly still intact. Every year since, when

Wildcards (I)
Project S – done faster than I’d planned or thought possible. Good. Now for the more important segments. One more run-up. How many times in your life have you had low-probability, high-impact events that completely took you by surprise? Or

Scribblicious
It’s been a scribblicious day. Watching scribbling at the banks in a peripheral role. Important scribbling. Time has passed so very quickly and we’re all grown up now. Round the back, down a lane – scribblings. Shapes, sizes, prices, stuff.
