Year: October 27, 2017.
IMAGINARY ARTWORKS
This artwork represents a stairwell in an abandoned house with a river flowing
down the stairs, trees and grass upstairs. Paint made by using single photos of stairs and a river, then combined into one general artwork on computer. I added tones into it with mixed colours and oil paint to smooth the colour of the river and create water movements This artwork talks about an abandoned house partially torn down while water from the rain turned the stairs into a river in one side and into a waterfall in the other side. An ode to the force of the nature over mankind's footprint.
IMAGINARY ARTWORKS
These 3 paints represent other people's imagination. I asked them to tell me what they were thinking and then I painted. The top left corner is "The Underworld", the
top right corner "The Mystery of Underwater Balloon Arrow" and the bottom centre "The Return of the Imaginary Dragon".

Underworld
Medium: Oil Paint.
I called this "The Underworld"
because the background is dark and looks spooky. This paint depicts
the tornado, flower, eyeballs, toast, toaster, grass
and trees. All of them being into one particular scene. A mix of unrelated thinks at first but useful. An idea of 'diversity', 'coexistence' and 'respect'. The
tornado, flower, eyeballs, toast and toaster are minding
their own business by being themselves. I used
mix colors with oil paint. Dimensions:

SOUND OF NATURE
Medium: Oil Paint.
The way the colours and values communicate with
the sound stereo, working with the flow and meaning that painting lines
create movement and repetition; knowing which direction the lines were
going to, using lines as sound from the sound stereo and painting the
sound stereo as to look imagined. I painted the sound stereo
hanging up in the sky in a broad daylight so that it would cause noises,
make loud noises that sound like music to our ears. Making loud noises is
also like listening to music in the sky 24/7 every day. The paint depicts
contour lines, trees and grass.

SAMURAI WOODEN SWORD
I created a wooden box and samurai sword as part of my container project. I researched about other experienced artist to learn what kind of material and technic to use for my project. Then I used wooden materials to create a box and samurai sword. I painted the box with an image of a sea dragon and colours. The samurai sword represent an ancient japanese weapon that still exists in the present time. To present my project, I played the character of the black samurai Yasuke using my wooden samurai sword and the box in front of my classmates and my teacher who liked my little show.

Born To Fight
A book project called "Born to Fight" against a state of rudeness, bully, wickedness, crime, injustice... It describes arguments, verbal abuse, brawls as group fight, eye contacts, fear, threats and retaliation. I created this little book and edited in Photoshop. It didn't matter what and how many colour I would use, I simply wanted my book project to be black and white. I drew pictures and added details explaining what is happening in different scenes.

2D Dimensional
2D Dimensional artwork. Above is a bumblebee taken
in a studio. Below is a bush in the atrium gallery in
Fine Arts Building. Students were required to take two pictures of their own
and turned them into 2D Dimension in Photoshop. Both images are edited in Photoshop. I applied reflections between the original images and the final ones. I also added 2D colours and values in both images.
Landscape of Grenfell Outdoors
This was a project of searching for places on campus where to take pictures.
I took 5 pictures then edited them in photoshop. The top left corner image was taken outside of Grenfell Campus, the top right corner one depicts the Grenfell Campus
parking lot, the lower left corner represents the outside of the Chalet (students'residence), the lower right corner image was taken outside
of the Forest Centre Building in the stairwell, and the centre lower bottom is inside the faculty in the hallway. Students were asked to choose a theme or word that spoke of the project, take pictures and redesign them by editing them in Photoshop.
So, I chose the word "Squeeze" and used Photoshop to edit my pictures in order to reflect the concept in "squeeze" theme.
Choosing the word squeeze meant that I had to make my images looked "squeezed".
Therefore, opacity and reflections that I used in redesigning my images gave them that "squeezed" look. I worked using a Camera Raw Filters, Smart Filters and more in Photoshop. For each image, I made background copies in Photoshop. Students were asked to write a Project statement explaining the progress of their project.

The same Forrat logo pattern was repeated in all over the chocolate box cover and the exterior of the storefront.

I know there are many bosses in New York but I wanted to
imagine what it would look like if I was running the city of New York and
become their boss, supreme leader.

ideas. We displayed them on tables in the Fine Arts Atrium so that
everyone would have seen them. Each persons had to take one card from everyone
in each trading cards that they've created. Students who made 25 cards had to
trade their cards away. I made a sports NFL Card, the American Football, of
25 teams and I recreated, and redrawn their logos and names.

Hockey Tape Drawings
A project that I completed in group with my classmates. We had to find a wall inside our faculty and create anything we want on that wall using hockey tapes.
My group of classmates and I decided to made a building structure, an entrance opening area, sidewalks, windows, streetlight and stars one each side of the structure. We combine all our ideas together to make them into one drawing image like this one here above. We worked hard to complete this project and it was the most rewarded experience at the end, working together.

Altered Book
It's not an ordinary book but I needed to decorate it
using book pages to make something like an object or
anything I wanted with textures. I made a sledgehammer, ninja stars and a
sword out of textures using as many book pages as I could and made a
championship belt using the same materials.
