Some Drawings

Livin' like hippies

I was just fantasizing about making nice road trips; Bob Dylan pumping out of our Volkswagen van, our dog loving the air in his face, Tom behind the wheel and me, of course, fallen asleep on Toms shoulder.

So here's us in Oz in a few years :)

Nice picture to look forward to, don't you think?

It's made on really crappy paper with pencil, watercolor and aquarel-pencils.

Baily Brawings (hehe, bra-wings)

Daily Drawings

Open Day at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (my school)

This Saturday was open day at my academy. Together with my classmate Jesse, whom designed the line-work on the large wall, we created the process-wall. It was a LOT of work, the tape and drawings kept falling down but it was all worth it, 'cause the end result was very nice!

We tried to make a lab, because this whole year is about experimenting and inventing new things, it's all about the process.We had a smoke machine and all, haha.

I got more and more excited about my study, talking about it to future students. I realized how grateful I am for studying something I really love to do.

Later on I walked around the academy, visiting all the departments, the photo's below are made at the fine arts department and the two little sketches are from the fashion and textile department.

I was exhausted after all the hard work, but the open day was great!!

 

Assessment Presentation #3 - And Fiend Project Antwerp

 Yesterday I had another assessment day. This time it was only for my own teachers.

Because there was such a short period of time between the previous presentation and this one (because of the holidays), I couldn't show much new work. I decided to just make a complete different presentation with a selection of my work.

Last week I went to Antwerp with three classmates to visit Fiend Projects, an art festival. I got really inspired by the presentations of the works there.

It was a really dynamic and playful exhibition. We walked around for a couple of hours and we kept discovering other works, even though the space wasn't so big.

I wanted to take this inspiration and use it for the assessment presentation, and I think it worked out, I was very happy with my presentation.

The teachers spoke out their thoughts and advises. They told me to experiment more with color and structure, make enormous installations (so big I wouldn't be able to drag them to school) and to give more depth to my work. By depth they meant choosing less shallow subjects, so that I can put more of my opinion in it and not just show what the subject is about in general.

Below are some photo's I took in Antwerp at the festival.
