New Day

This photo was taken on 15th SEP near darling harbour and that month is my second month after I came to Sydney. People whose in the photo were my friends in english school. They are young and full of energy, ready for  a new start, in a new place and new journey.

For me, a 30 years old man who is starting a new journey and a new career but it is 10 years late from them. I left my family, my love, my friends and my career behind and come to a place that I don't know. This is not coincidence. I am not here by randomisation. There had thousand of things that could happen to change my choices but none of them had happened within these years.

Now I am here, I am looking at the sunset of Sydney, behind my new friends. I don't have their youth and energy since I had tired out by illness and things but I need to finish my duty here. I need to wait, prepare and think ... what's next and beyond .... just like 25 years ago....

House of Meina Ch1

“I am freezing! “

My car crashes into a tree, in the middle of a highway and surrounded by snow but nothing else. I can’t see any other cars or any living things nearby in this mid night. 

“I can’t stay here anymore. I have to do something or I will be die”

I try to clear my eyes and search thought the twisted glass. It is not easy because the snow is blowing into my eye but I have to try.

“What is that the big shadow inside the woods?”

I see a shadow that it’s sharp just looks like a house, which is behind those woods.

“I have to go there!”

I climb over the broken windows and move my body out of the car. I am walking slowly toward to shadow with no feeling on my feets or arms. The snow is hitting me badly and I start to think if I fall down, this will be my end. If that is not a house, this will be my end too.

“That’s great! I see something but what is this?”

I see a huge building in front of me but it is looks really like a castle more than a house. A unlocked gate and a old style wall surround the castle and they are 3 times of my high and all black in colour, but those are not what i am caring about now. I push the gate and move on.

“Good! Here is the door!”

The door is about 3m high and black in colour too. It looks like that the owner likes black colour very much. I knock the door as hard as i can since i am freezing and nearly pass out.

“Knock!”

“Help!”

“Knock! Knock!”

“Anyone here? Help me please!”

I hear some sound of foot steps come from the other side of the door but the sound is very strong and big. It looks like some rock is hitting the floor hardly. The sound had stopped when it reaches the door and the door opens slowly.

“Come in!”

A loveIy voice come from direction of the door. Behind that door I see a young girl with a long red hair and black eye, dressing up like 17th century party but she just looks like 20 years old.

“Thank you!”

I move my tried body into the castle. The first room i see is a sitting room with a fireplace which decorate with some blue stone birds fly on it but i cant find any chair or sofa that i can have a rest”

“Sleep first...”

Those are the last words that I can hear. After that, I fall down on the floor and pass out.

The Old Guitarist, Pablo Ruiz Picasso, 1903

This painting was created by Picasso around 1901 to 1904. This is The Blue Period of his paintings which were presenting sadness and hopeless feelings by the color blue. His subjects are poor people, prostitutes and beggars.

After visited sculpture by the sea

This photo was taken this afternoon. The colour was darker then the one that I found on the web page. If we have a close up. We can find that he has 2 pairs of eyes, hands and foot. The motion of anger is much more then before.

I like faces and body presenting because them can tell story and feeling. So this one is impacting me. Two faces is looking at two different direction, man and woman, young and old, strong and weak, happy and sad.

Before visit sculpture by the sea

I like this one because i can feel the motion of this man from his face and hands. We can see the tension on his face with his opened mouth. It makes him looks like he is shouting. His hands are facing up can show his anger.

I like this one because it gives me the feeling of new age. It's sharp is not normal and it has many angles which are making me feel the breaking of the laws.

Week 1

Live in week 1 was a little bit busy and disorder for me since all the classes are new to me and design is not a subject that I good at it but this is the reason why I want to study design.

Design Thinking
I need to use 4 square to present order, increase, bold, congested, tension, playful. Tension and playful are the parts that I like most because i like the feeling of motion and happy.

Computer Skills
We had a introduction of some design programs, for example Illustrator and Photoshop and I am starting to learn some tools of them. One for the tools is call pen tool which is a funny tool since it can create many kinds of sharp. Working on computer programs are not very hard for me because I was a programmer.

Portfolio Skills
This was my first time to know somethings about Portfolio which is new to me since i had not seem any before, but after I had some introduction and samples which were made by other student. I am having a better view now.

Hand Skills
In the first lesson I worked on ink painting but I brought wrong kinds of papers which are too smooth and could not absorb the ink, so i had to get a new one. Besides the problem with the pagers, i got another problem which is I could not draw what I had in my mind since I could not control my hand smoothly but i think try and practice can overcome the problem.

English
English is one of my worst skill that i need to improve since grammar and vocabularies are very difficult to me and I have a problem with the spelling too but I think read and write more will be help. I had made two presentation in the class and I was trying to make it more creative so that I can share creativity with other classmates and my classmates had good idea too. I had learn a lot.
