Irene's Art

 

 Hey whatsup! My name is Irene and I am 14, in grade 8. My dad is Belgian and My mom is Filipino. I was born in Singapore and lived in Singapore my whole life. This is my second year in UWCSEA Dover. I have a younger sister and used to have 2 guinea pigs. I play the piano and the guitar, electric and acoustic. I like music, all types. The artwork you see is something I made on the computer. I made it like this because I like the color scheme and abstract. And I also feel like this artwork kind of shows my personality, because i am a very colorful person and have mixed personalities depending on my mood, but I am mostly fun, friendly and outgoing. Also this artwork didn’t really take me too long, but a fair amount. I really like all of your artworks and hope maybe we could be friends if not acquaintances. I would also love some feedback from you. :)

Alex's Art

Hi, My name is Alex, and I’m 14. I’m British and Japanese. This my first year at UWCSEA, but it is my fourth year in Singapore. I like to play sports (such as running, softball and netball). I also play the violin, guitar and ukulele, and I love music in general.

I’d say that my favourite type of art is doodling, because I really like to draw patterns. When I’m told to draw or paint on the spot, I find it impossible, and don’t like to do it.

Below, you can see my Chiang Mai looking log. This is one of the projects I have enjoyed most this year, and I tried to use as many different forms of art as I could.

Thanks!

Gideon's Art

Hello, My name is Gideon.
 I am 14 years old and I'm from Russia and Israel. I have an older brother who's 6 years older than me and is serving in the Israeli army, and my favourite sports is football. My favourite football team is Liverpool FC. And I spend most of my free time either cycling, playing video games or sleeping. I have one dog called Teffy and this is my first year in UWC Dover though it's my fourth year in Singapore. I enjoy music a lot, though just the listening part, not so much creating it. And I suppose it's the same for art personally, I do enjoy many forms of art, my favourite being abstract art such as
the piece below. Though I personally do not enjoy drawing and painting. I do however enjoy taking photographs in settings I find interesting, which is why I uploaded the photo I took above, which I slightly edited ( Didn't really positively affect the photo, rather negatively in my opinion but it was the result of merging 3 or 4 different long exposure shots along with some very rough and minimal manual merge of other photos) I took this in one of the busiest roads in Singapore, Orchard Road, when it was pretty empty. I woke up and got on my bike to take a bunch of photos at 5AM and I think the best photo I got is the one I uploaded from the small journey. I would love to receive some feedback and what you think of my photo,
Thank you!

Maegan's Art

Hi, my name is Maegan. I am 13 turning 14 and I currently live in Singapore. I come from the UK but I've never lived there. I came to Singapore 2 years ago from Japan. I like to snowboard and ski and I use to rock climb. I have a younger brother, aged 10 in grade 4/year 5 and I have two cats but I really want a dog.

I really like art and I find it great fun, even if I'm no good at it. I really like Claude Monet and Leonardo De Vinci.

(Mona Lisa-Leonardo De Vinci)

 I think that they are some of the greatest artists in history to date. Something we did recently was a photograph of a meal/food that shows something about you as a person. I really like painting and drawing in general and I really like our current topic. I'm open to any feedback or suggestions from you for things that I need to improve on.

Arran Art

Hi, I'm Arran O'Sullivan and i go to UWCSEA Dover, and have been going to this school for nearly 3 years now. I study art, and in art class, we create many different kinds of artwork, from painting, to photography, to clay work. Of all, I like drawing the most, as I find it very relaxing, but I also find photography interesting too.

I have done a lot of art this year in different units and topics. Recently, we took pictures of food, and here is my picture of toast for breakfast:

{Shiv} 8VGOod Art!

Hi, my name is Shiv.

I like quite a lot of things, a few are: tennis, video games, and sometimes making pictures online (photoshop etc).

Here is something I made from combining a few different objects (shivkazuto is the name of a Minecraft account I shared with my friend) + text, with an image editing tool:

Some types of art I like are 1) 3-D art and 2) (not sure if this is a specific type) multi-colored art

Here is an example of the second one:

I’m not sure; I’m just really amused by this type of art and I really like it.

It also seems that this took a ton of effort to make, and that’s another thing that I feel makes artists good! (I DIDN’T MAKE IT!!)

Thanks for reading! Here's a question for you; what type of art do you like?

Rafael Villanueva

Hello everyone,

My name is Rafael, I am originally from the Philippines but I have lived in Singapore for 7-8 years. I am a student at the United World College of South East Asia. I am the eldest of three brothers. I really like playing basketball and my favorite team is Cleveland Cavaliers while I really like Lebron James. I really love a bunch of activities such as basketball, football (american football) watching TV shows and reading. My favorite type of food is Japanese. I hope to one day be able to go to the US and watch an NBA game. My favorite types of art are just simple hand sketches and photography. 

I really like hand sketches as they can be as simple as a stick figure to be as complicated as a building. Also I love drawing regular objects or specific characters. Also I really like photography as you can take some pretty cool action shots which I really enjoy taking and viewing. I also like watching montages of really cool action shots especially sport action shots like the ones in those motivational videos. I feel I am relatively experienced in taking action shots as I try to do them as much as possible.

Gus Larbey

My name is Gus, I am 14 years old. I am half Australian and half Lithuanian, But I currently live in Singapore. I play Football, Rugby and Basketball competitively.

Arjun Kohli's Art

Hello viewer, my name is Arjun Kohli. I am 14 years old and I live in Singapore. I speak English and I am also currently learning French in the school I attend which is UWCSEA Dover. I am in Grade 8 and I love to draw and design as I intend on becoming an architect when I grow up. Architecture is one of my favourite subjects to study and I love to design buildings in my free time like I have done in my artwork. I have one older brother that is about to attend college. I am also very passionate about tennis as I have played it for 6 years. I take my tennis very seriously. Below, you will see two pieces of artwork that I have drawn for one of my art assignments. We were studying perspective and it is one of my favourite styles to draw. I have drawn an empty road in the middle of a wasteland disappearing into the distance and my other drawing is supposed to promote a building that I have designed that I called “The Curb”. Please feel free to comment and suggest ways to improve any of these. Thanks lad.

Regards,

Arjun Kohli.

Alard's Art

Hi, I am Alard and I am 14 years old. I was born in Germany and am half Cantonese and another half German. I love in Singapore since the the beginning of 2014 and have been going to United World College since. I have various different interests such as cooking (especially barbecuing) and I enjoy swimming. I like to take photographs and eat (in particular my own food). I take joy in travelling with my family as this is a great opportunity for me to learn new cultures, foods and sports. I go to UWCSEA in Singapore and am located at Dover campus. I was introduce to art at a very young age but have found Photography the most fun for me, however I also like sketching and some painting. I hope you can guys can give me some feedback on where I improve on, so that I wont make the same mistake twice. Thanks for readings this and hope you will be entertained by our Blog.

Adi's Art

Hi, I am Aditya and I am turning 14 this year. I am of Indian nationality and I go to a school named United World College of South East Asia. I joined UWCSEA in Grade 6, and this is currently my third year at UWCSEA. I have many various likes and interests. I enjoy playing sports, and especially enjoy playing football as I find it very fun and engaging. I have also recently started playing softball and I find it very interesting too. I also like reading books, particularly of crime fiction and sci-fi genres. My favourite type of art is photography as I like editing images, and I am better at taking photos rather than drawing or painting. I also like photography as I have the ability to take multiple photos, and choose the best one. Finally, I like photography as I believe that photography has the ability to convey messages and ideas stronger than other forms of art, such as paintings. Some advice I would like is would be how to improve on my artworks, as sometimes feedback can be very helpful and can help me improve on some areas, and can help change my artwork entirely. One thing I really enjoyed in art was the Chiang Mai Art Looking as we were able to express the contrast between Singapore and Thailand through our artworks. Below is a picture of my Chiang Mai Art Looking Log.

If there is anything you like about my art, on anywhere I could improve, please do not hesitate to leave a comment!

Chiang Mai Looking Log

Shanaya Ramchandani

Hey, I’m Shanaya Ramchandani! I am 14 years old. I am of Indian origin and I’ve lived in Sydney, Australia for seven years. My hometown is Mumbai in India and currently, I am living in Singapore. I just moved to UWCSEA this academic year and I moved to Singapore in June 2014. My hobbies include art, swimming and dance and I am learning professional Indian Classical dance. I have a younger brother who is 9 years old. These two paintings that I have made are a sequence and they are based on the Hindu God Krishna, and his beloved Radha. The lotus is of big symbolism in Hindu mythology so I decide to include that in my painting. Krishna plays the flute which also has symbolism. He is portrayed to be a bluish colour as apparently he was born from a lotus flower with its petals tinted blue and white. I hope you like this sequence of paintings, and I might add a third painting to the current two. I have made a few other canvases which you might see on this blog in the near future.

Thanks,

Shanaya Ramchandani.

Bohye's Chiang Mai Looking Log

Hi I am Bohye Park, I live in Singapore but I am originally from Korea. I was born there and lived there for 6 years. This year is my 9th year in Singapore and my 6th year in UWCSEA. I really like art because it is a very creative way to express myself. I really like to work with different materials like charcoal, paints and papers. I really like photography because it is kind of like a visual diary. I like travelling around the world and taking photos and trying new food.

In this class I really liked the Chiang Mai Art Looking Log because we got to show the contrast between Singapore and Thailand through different pieces of art. I really liked that we got to decide the layout and got to make the art pieces different from everyone else. I really liked that we got to have time in Chiang Mai to draw different pieces of art and document the memories we made over there. I think that giving us the choice are responsibility over our own looking logs made it even more personal and unique.

I am excited for the upcoming year to be able to try new units of art!

Rosie Clark

Hello. My name is Rosie and I am 14 years old. Both my parents are from the UK but I have lived in Singapore for almost 11 years. I joined UWCSEA in grade 3 and I am now in grade 8 so this is my sixth year here. I have an older sister called Amy who is turning 16 in May.

I have always enjoyed art class as it is different to other academic classes and is more open and creative. I enjoy drawing and using watercolours and other different materials such as charcoal. One of my favourite pieces of mine this year was my looking log, which was a booklet inspired by Singapore and Thailand. I liked it because we could use different media and it was very personal in what you decided to draw and paint. I started half of my booklet in Singapore, before our trip to Thailand as a class and then began the other pages in Thailand.

The column on the right was inspired by Singapore and it’s culture and the column on the left was inspired by the things I saw and learnt in Chiang Mai.

I am looking forward to art for the rest of the year and seeing what the other students from around the world are sharing.
