Growing up with art, i've always appreciate and definitely have passion in it. Design and art is so abstract, that it varies in individuals' eyes.
Thanks to my mom, who was busy helping up dad, so she 'pushed' ( i would use the word push for now) my sis and i to an art class opened by Mr. Chung. I remembered each typical day where sis and i were given drawing blocks, starting off with crayons. I was only 4 or 5 during that time. During my early years in the drawing class, i would be jealous each time i see those elder ones allowed to use water color, and i kept asking Mr. Chung, when can i use the water colors?His replied was,"You can only use them when you're 10 years old"...and i did not understand why. As my age kept going up each year,i would ask him the same question over and over again until i was finally 10.
Buncho poster colour was my best friend back then. Then, i got to switch to the more professional ones which is Alpha water color.
My life in art, has brought me as who i am right now. I cultivated my passion for art and design, despite being in science stream for so many years.
Life is not easy for me now since i studied Industrial design instead of Interior design, which what i am as if for now. Well, somehow, industrial design is related to Interior design.
Look at Philippe Starck, being an industrial designer, interior designer and even architect himself.
He has designed so many products and interiors . . . . .
Louis Ghost chair for Kartell.
Being a design person myself, i did learnt of the art revolutions, from Baroque, Rococo, Rennaisance, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Bauhaus and many many more.
The empire state building in New York city - Art deco
Musée du Louvre in Paris - French Rennaisance
Westminster Palace in London - Gothic Revival
These were what i learnt in USM. Credits to my lecturer, they did taught us about all the eras.
p/s : would love to travel around the world and experience the wonders of design with my own eyes =]
