Issac Yu Ivan >> 2021, I Will… Our World Art Exhibition 2020

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and new norms, Jane Yap Atelier decided to make the biannual art exhibition virtual. Like a torch relay in the Olympic Games, the baton pass on one by one. But the baton here is the artbook. It will be named, "2021, I will …" - Our World Art Exhibition 2020.

Issac was the second student in this album no. 8. The title of the album is "If a fierce/friendly tiger is in front of me, I will …". He got the album on 10/10/2020 Saturday morning, as the previous student did it quite fast, here was the video and photo of the handing over of the album.

 

The parents of each participate student would have to help the Atelier to video the torch relay journey. There are specific camera settings of the video requirements which needed to meet. And for each of the videos or photos to record down includes receiving the album, starting drawing or while drawing, completing drawing the car journey to the next student, and handing over the album.

Here is how Issac opened up the album to check what he should be drawing.

Here is during Issac was drawing and coloring the tiger and himself in his artwork. Here is Issac's artwork.

There are some gentle reminders for the students to adhere to this relay. Some of these reminders are: the students need to sanitize their hands before drawing. Place cardboard behind the assigned page so that the marker ink does not get through to the next page.

Do not vandalize other students completed artworks. Sanitize the front and back plastic cover of the album and the plastic Ziploc bag before handing it over to the next student; each student is required to complete the artwork within three days, etc.

Here is the video on handing over the album to the next student on 15/10/2021 Thursday night.

 

Here is the photo of handing it over to both siblings.

Overall, Issac feels satisfied with his artwork because this is the first time he can complete a painting within a few days. It is a fun experience for him as well.

Issacs's Meows… ^^

The shoes had been bought quite some time ago at Fufa Shoes which is located near our house at Meranti Jaya. Initially, we were looking for casual outing shoes for both children. Eventually, we found out this pair of white shoes which we felt was pretty good for Issac.

The idea of want to paint the shoes came to our mind, and we suggested to Issac that we can do that with these shoes. After some thoughts and get some ideas of what to draw. Suddenly he just took some paintbrushes, a color palette, and his acrylic paints and pencil started his draft, and finally, this is the work!

It looks so amazing with the cat’s eyes looking into your eyes!

Annabelle’s Clay First Experience

Today is the first time Annabelle come out from home after so many months of MCO in the home.

I went to Aunt Jasmine’s house to take on some drawings for some part time job as I was affected by paid cut due to Covid-19 MCO.

Annabelle wanted to go together with me, she wanted to see the goose at Aunt Jasmine’s house.

We were in Aunt Jasmine’s pottery room where she does her pottery artwork, discussed on the project.

After we finished our discussion, she saw Annabelle and asked her if she wants to play clay.

So, here is Annabelle plays the clay and her first experience on the wheel.

Zentangle Seed 11th & 12th Class

Today is the last class of our Zentangle Seed classes for the almost past 3 months. Due to next week is the holiday season and most of our classmates would not be here, thus Teacher Mici decided to compact today class into 2 sessions.

We would continue to learn about Zendala, and the final session is draw the zentangle patterns onto our hands. Everyone was so excited about it.

Teacher Gek Lan taught us another style of Zendala, also using compass and draw on the coloured Zendala white tile. And new tangle patterns as well. We practice in the class for one part and we were told to continue finish the rest in the home.

In second session Teacher Mici came in to teach about drawing on our arms or hand, just like how to draw inai. The differences is the pen we use. She encourages us to use eyeliner if we have, as it it more suitable to draw on our skin.

Everyone was so enjoying drawing on their own hand. And got excited and very high! it was like we were partying at the end of the class. Everyone felt a little bit sad that it was so soon that 3 months class have to come to an end. We learned so much from each other as well.

Teacher Mici is so kind that she did short video for us! And, below is my design!

禅绕的印记，把对禅绕的喜爱淋漓精致的发挥，每个人都展开笑颜面对这不能长久却深深烙印在记忆里的美丽收揽在这一季的青春回忆里。致青春那曾经的笑颜，那曾经的自己。~ 美子老师

Zentangle Seed 10th Class

Today we learned Zendala. This time using the coloured Zendala white tile which we did last 2 lessons. Teacher Gek Lan taught us some new tangle pattern.

And, she taught us how we can create Zendalas by carefully measuring to find the centre of the circle and working outwards. She taught how to do it by using a compass to divide the sections.

Well, this is my Zendala using the compass. And, I quite like it. May be it is because of the bright colour in the centre of the Zendala that gives me the felling of ‘Hope’ and ‘Light’.

Zentangle Seed 9th Class

Today we continue the dream catcher design that taught last week. As usual we shared our work last week.

Then, Teacher Xue Wen taught us to use the starlight pen to draw the design of the dream catcher web.

Later how we can draw the feathers of the catcher.

Then, everyone of us was so amazed with our own work!

Zentangle Seed 8th Class

Before we started our class today, Teacher Mici asked us to bring out the homework out and joined the patterns in.

Then we took out the last week Zendala tiles that we made, Teacher Mici taught us to draw with the combination of black and white tile. And taught us the new type of tangle patterns. Here was Teacher Mici’s.

After I managed to complete mine. It looks like this. I am not really like the brown pen that I done but it is how it is turn out.

Zentangle Seed 7th Class

Today Teacher Mici asked us to use the black ink to dye some portion of the white Zendala tiles. We did it for about 2 Zendala tiles and let it dry for the following week lesson.

Today we started to draw black tiles. We were introduced with Sakura white gelly roll pen and Sakura star dust pen to draw on black tiles, and black charcoal as well to darken the shades.

Zentangle Seed 6th Class

Today we have more fun things to play with! Before we start our class drawing the colour jewels, Teacher Gek Lan asked us to do some colouring for the Zendala paper tiles which we will be using in the following classes.

We just picked 3 magic pens colour that we like, draw it on a plastic sheet, and spray some water onto the colours let it kind of mix together. Then we just put the paper on top of the surface, let the paper stay for a while and take it up.

After we prepared all that needed, Teacher Gek Lan taught us to draw coloured jewels. It is the same method as drawing on the Renaissance paper, just instead of using graphite and white charcoal pencils, use the colour pencil. Pastel colour pencil would be better.

 

It kinds of reminds me of my art classes during the school days, it is all about shadows and lights, which make the things looks more 3D feel.

We have a group photo in the end of the class as usual!

Here is mine!

Zentangle Seed 5th Class

We shared our last week work in the class and learned from each others how to get to draw some specific tangle patterns or ideas of the tangles.

We learned how to draw the maruso pattern design. It is the combination of black graphite and white charcoal pencil. It is interesting to know how can we mix and match the design like this!

This is my work today!

Zentangle Seed 4th Class

Today Teacher Gek Lan taught us how to draw jewel or diamond using Renaissance tile. This time we did use some tools such as circle or eclipse template for the shapes.

Using Renaissance tile, I learned using more tools such as the white charcoal pencil to highlight the brightness of the light and brown colour pen. Besides the lightness, I still can shade the shadow using black graphite pencil too.

This is my jewels!

Zentangle Seed 3rd Class

Today we started with the Renaissance tile, and we learned about how to create the basic tangle patterns from the within or outer shape. We had learned this during our first Zentangle class 2 months ago. It sort of relearn.

Then, Teacher Mici taught us to draw something related with the Halloween as it is around the corner.

 

Finally she asked us to draw something related to our mood today.

Well.. before we went back home, we had a group photo ^^

Here are my work today… I do not like it very much though…
