Demonstrations on How to Play the Purple Pong Game

Below are demonstrations on how to play the Purple Pong game.

Bear pong is a classic game that people usually throw at parties.In that game a player must throw and land the ping pong balls into several cups that are filled with beer.However,we went ahead and did a spin off of the version.Instead of using beer we will individually arrange the cups in oder and fill them in with different coloured soda.Some of the  cups will be filled with purple coloured drinks whiles other a different colour.If the player accidentally lands the ping pong ball into a cup filled with yellow or orange drink,they will be given a dare that will be written on the back of the cups.If the player completes the dar they may get a second chance.If player lands the ping pong ball into the purple soda 3 times,he or she wins.

GAME INSTRUCTIONS 

1.Players each  gets 5 ping pong balls.

Assignment 5 : Paint to music

Assignment 5 : Paint to music

Today we had done our final assignment on the spot.Although I thought it was impossible since we only have just a few hours left till class was over Ms Lisa still insisted on finishing it up today.We were given 2 hours to paint on 2 A1 sized watercolour papers.Each paper we would have to listen to a prepared playlist and paint for an hour.

For the first attempt I painted to the playlist which was created by the class. Most of the songs were upbeat ,some were melodious .The staring process took a while for me,I needed to calm myself and relax.I had no idea what to paint what soever,which colours to choose and which methods I would use.I took a bold step and just decided on a colour and begin spreading ‘Ultra Marine ‘ on paper.As time passed and the music changes I finally got the rhythm,I started off painting with less “force” if that makes sense.I used pinks,purples,orange and  anything I could get my hands on and just blended the colours in.Towards the end of the songs I felt like my painting took a toll of galaxies and I suppose I was going for a gloomy space effect.I blended it some more,the far off brighter colours I felt represent hope .In a way,even if your stuck out in a  gloomy space there could still be hope.

The second piece was done by listening to Ms Lisa’s classical playlist.Me and Serra joked about it being a Barbie themed song :p .Whiles it did reminded me of joyous melodious songs I begin painting soft wave strokes using a turquoise colour .Towards the middle parts of the playlist, the once melodious songs seemed more darker with sharper tunes .As I felt so, the song now reminded me of a  song of tragedy ,which made me a little upset.I begin thinking of a story behind the song. I pictured windy days,full of storms and terror, a sailor out lost at sea.Dramatic I know :/    So my once  pink clouded skies with rays of yellow sunlight was  now masked with a more gloomy greenish sky.The colours blended well and so I moved on making my y waves darker ,blending purples into the bed of sea.As things were coming to an end, I realised I got that heart aching feeling.I painted with heavy strokes,got my fingers dirty smudging whites to create highlights. I wanted to give my all and as I did,time was up,it was over. 

Overall it was a fun experience,never have I ever had a painting session that allowed me to be set free,It was amazing not to stress out and think to much of what there was to paint.The atmosphere was perfect,hectic at first but everyone came to ease.It was beautiful to see the sight of everyone painting and doing their own thing.

Assignment 4 : Monogram

Assignment 4 :Monogram

We finally received our individual assignment from Ms Lisa."MONOGRAMS" she said.On that day itself she  gave us an hours time to visit the library and go  through books related to font art which will help to inspire our latest art piece.With the help of my class mates ,they would each pick out a word that would best describe me .

After scavenging and rampaging through the books sorted out in the library,I begin to see a pattern  I'd much fancy.I realised most of the fonts I had picked out were mainly made out of bold letters.

I guess it was kinda strange,no one knew exactly what I was,silence........   .Finally Ms Lisa broke the silence by describing me as "Vintage". I suppose in a way I am,I love all these old  carnival fonts,vintage logos,bold bright colours to begin with.But the "vintage" she described mostly meant dainty suppled things,airy and free.

Examples of my inspiration :

Whiles doing some research I realised that vintage could mean a lot of things.When I googled modern vintage they were mostly focused on the visuals.

Fast Update :

Unfortunately after I showed Ms Lisa my drafts I had I misunderstood the whole monogram thing.

The rejected monograms I purposed 

 From what I read and understood a monogram is a motif of two or more interwoven letters,typically a person's initials,used to identify a personal possessions or a logo.And apparently  I tried to spell my name out "IMN" instead of my initials which were "IN".Therefore, I then knew what I must do and re-sketch my new ideas.

I extended my research online.There I used mediums like pinterest , instagram and of course google .

My newer designs :

Design number 2 was chosen with a bit of an alteration 

 First attempt on the smaller sized stencils, I accidentally cut off the top swirl :/

  Trials

The final products 

Rational :

Since I've done stencilling before it wasn't much of a challenge for me,I mean apart from almost loosing a chunk of meat on my fingers, I survived :) I didn't take as much progression pictures as I wanted too,with my fingers dirtied with paint,I chose to keep my artwork clean.This was an easy process where all I had to do was paste the stencil over my items and either use the spongy dabbing technique with acrylic or use spray paint.However,theres always a but,it was tricky not to get the paint leaking underneath the stencil.I had to secure everything properly.

For the poster noticed that I picked out a simple frame.I did it so that it wouldn't draw to much attention rather then the monogram itself.It was also best to keep thing at a minimal.

I wanted to keep a theme,I knew very well it was best to.I sticked to browns and pastel colours,mostly blues since they are my favourite colour.Overall Im proud that I've made it this far :)

6 items I've used:
-bell jar
-envelope
-cork board
-flower pot
-note book
-coster
 and a drawstring bag

Assignment 3 : Batik

2 Dimensional Design
Batik Field Trip

We searched on google on ideas,the thought of birds free flowing came to mind.

  Jadi Batek Gallery 

So a few  hours ago my course mates and I were on our way to the batik factory at Jadi Batek Gallery in KL.The bus ride wasn't too long, a lot of us feel pretty sleepy tho since it was only 9am in the morn.Just as soon as we reached there we're the workers that greeted us in.Inside they showed us a brief demo on the techniques they used to hold the tools in order to canting on the fabric itself.After words we were off to pick our own spot.

In that moment everyone just sprawled to find an empty blank canvas to begin their artwork.Most of my group members were close by,Serra being on my left hand side and Yanlin in front of me,unfortunately Seline was blocked by JJ who took the spot next to me,owh well.

Tracing  the design onto the piece of fabric wasn't so bad,however since mine was detailed,with all the bark tress and leaves,it took a longer time.After my back ache from bending down for so long I finally finished tracing majority of the design,I took it upon myself to trust my gut and do the chanting free hand.After all the stupid jokes and laughter,we wasted no more time and decided it was time to chanting.Chanting is know as some sort of candle waxed used in the proses of batik in order to avoid colour spreading all over the cloth .           

Once I’ve gotten the feel of the tool, I said a tiny prayer and begin. Just like how the workers demonstrated,I knew  I couldn't stopped halfway through.And so I practiced on my own,then came the real deal.It started out okay,I must admit it wasn't that hard,right until someone shifts the weight of the fabric.This happened way too many times,it frustrated me even more when horror struck.I was canting my design onto the cloth when suddenly the weight on the fabric cloth shifted and threw my hands off balanced,I ended up spilling most of my candle wax onto my artwork.There laid the blob of wax,by then I was going all sorts of crazy trying to find a way to fix it,with no such luck there wasn't a spot left for me to redo my artwork and so Ms Lisa asked me to continue where I left off,perhaps improvise it later on.Heartbrokenly I continued loosing my passion towards my now spoilt art.

                  

The two ladies helping us out with the boarder.

There I supposed I’ve wasted time,perhaps I was too eger to start painting but the damage has been done,XXXx lost interest in doing it,i felt like it wasn't fair,i didn't get a star over like Mishu or the rest.but time was flying and since time is gold I had to pick myself up.,slowly i begin to proceed an paint,with Serra catching up on me,we’ve decide which colours and tones work well,she and i begin with our mountain,waiting for her to finish with so i could take over,then came the highlights and 

Yanlin busy at work feet.Wafaa

Roughly how the designs would look like when pared together .

All and all it was a fun and memorable trip,despite the screams and rush,me and my team mates had enjoyed ever bit of it.Working together picking out which colours would coordinate best.In the end,I would say we did a great job working together.
