The New Art Project - no title

 Since I've done my Maiko Project, I decided to start new one. It took me awhile to come up with a proper idea. I always liked drawing beautiful clothes and people. Since I drew Japanese clothes for my last project, I want to challenge something new. Thus, I decided to draw different dresses. I used to like drawing dancers, different dresses, a princess, ball gowns and other girlish things, so I thought it would be good if a theme of the new project is something related to them. Therefore, my new project will be called 'a ball project'. Hopefully, I will come up with a better title for it.

 So here are some rough drawings that I drew for practice. It took me only 30 minuets to draw them. However, I did not draw the whole bodies and dresses. To be honest, I drew them just for fun and entertainment. Next time, I will try to actually draw a ball gown by water colours.

The Maiko Project - the final work

 I am very disappointed at myself that it took me so long to finish this work and actually upload it.  Although I was busy with exams and other important things, I have to admit that I could be much better at organizing time if I tried harder. Therefore, I can't say that I'm satisfied with my first project.

 And I am not happy with the quality of my final drawing. I rushed a bit and I did not draw carefully. I missed some details of the back ground and Kimono. I hoped that I might be able to express the beauty and complexity of Kimono and the make-up of Maiko San by using pencils...but I clearly failed it. 

 Therefore I would give only 5 out of 10 for my project and the work itself.

Helping in church

 Tuesday was 'день упокоенных', therefore I had to go to church. And I thought it could be a great chance for me to do my CAS service. As usual, I cleaned up the candelabrums and icons. Since I got used to this task, I could to work efficiently in short time. Next time, I want to do something new and hard, so I can be more active and helpful. I am planning to come to church again before my exam study will start. However, these days, I am very busy with doing my IAs and other homework, so I have to wait until I'll get enough time. And that would probably happen after two weeks from now.

Art project - the final work...

 The final work of my art project seems to take much longer to draw than I was expecting. This time I tried to complete drawing Kimono and the Kasa (an umbrella). However, after an hour of hard working, I realized that there was no progress made at all. So I decided to complete rough drawing of the Maiko San, so I can put more details next time. My over all aim is to finish this task until the end of this term, and start a new project as soon as possible. Next time, I will be focusing on details, such as shades of Kimono and the Kasa, and the background.



The Final Work- Maiko Project ...first draft

 Although I already started drawing my final work, I decided to start it again. I couldn't enjoy drawing the previous one, and since I have to put so much effort and time on the final work, I want to do something that I can be interested in. Therefore I started drawing comletely different work.

 This is just a raugh sketch, so I can have a general consept of the work. (1 min)

A draft

I always prefere to star with a face.

  Next time, I will draw the Kimono.
Sorry for the bad quality of the images. I will upload better photos as soon as I will get my camera back from my brother.

Activity

 I did not record anything for my activities, though I continue doing the exercises. This is only because of my bad organization skill and I have to improve on it. As I continued this activity for 2 months, I realized that doing them every day, as I initially planned, is just impossible. So I decided to do them three times a week. However, I increased the amount of excises. For example, I doubled the amount of push-up and sit-up and back extension.

 I am very glad that I improved my skill and now, I can manage to do even more amount of exercises. And I lost 3kg in 2 month. However as you can see, I missed 4 days in total in March. I am aware of my energy and I know that sometimes, I am too tired to any physical work after school. But 4 days seem to be too often for me. So next month, I hope that I will be able to force myself and make these exercises part of my daily routine.

Helping in church

04/04

My mother is a very religious person.  And since I’m going to Japan on Friday, she said that I must go to the church and pray for a safe flight. And I thought that I can take this opportunity and do a little help there. As always, I cleaned up the candelabrums and icons. Since I got used to this task, I could to work efficiently in short time. I had 30 minutes left, because I managed to finish the task quickly. So I decided to swab the floor. I was glad that I didn’t wait for other people to tell me what to do, but I found the job to do by myself and did not waste the time. I think I organized my time very well.

 When I was about to leave the church, my mother said that the church is going to participate in a bazaar for charity in next month, so I can come and help there. I think that would be a very good opportunity for me to try something new. If I will success to organize my schedule really carefully, I will defiantly go there and help as much as possible.
