New Art Class

* No picture post *

On the 11 May 2012, mei mei and I attended our first lesson in the new art center. Mama found this center via a free magazine. Both mei mei and I was excited and enjoyed our first lesson very much.

Our teacher was a very friendly and soft spoken teacher. During the 2 hours lesson she praised and motivated us. Teacher said mei mei was very neat while tracing the dotted line and said I'm a very creative boy! She guided us step by step and did not rush while teaching. We started off with colour pencils first.

During our first lesson, teacher gave both of us the same piece of paper (a picture with a tree and a house). She said it was a test to determine our creativity and strength. We are free to add whatever picture we wanted into that piece of paper and colour them according to the colour we wanted.

Mei mei traced the dotted line and colour the picture. She chose black and orange for the cloud. Pink for the ground. Teacher did not comment on the colour she chose because teacher said it was based on her own idea. There is no right or wrong. Teacher even praised mei mei as she managed to colour the picture inside the line, neatly. For her age, she is good. Mei mei told teacher there was a cat sleeping inside the house. That was why we cannot see in the picture. Actually, mei mei doesn't know how to draw and wanted to act smart. To my surprised, teacher praised that she is very creative to create a story from the picture !

Mine was different. With that piece of paper, I drew a dog, a few bones, a big plot of farms with ripe carrots and a car. Teacher was impressed with my drawing and said I'm a creative boy. I drew all the picture myself and coloured them with proper colours. Skies are blue, clouds are white, grounds are brown and so on. After completing the art, teacher let me passed with flying colours. I could skipped to level 2 while mei mei have to continue with level 1 first.

I'm not sure what teacher will be teaching in level 1 or 2, but I'm indeed proud of myself !

Doraemon

Papa is a fans of Doraemon. He bought the whole set of Doraemon comics for 'display'. Why I said display ? Because He has got no time to read them unlike before.

When I ran out of idea of what to draw one day, I asked mama for some idea. She took one of the Doraemon comic and asked me draw them. This is something new to me.

I started my 'work' immediately while mama was busy with her weekends' chores. A few minutes later, I showed her this...

Doraemon and friends

I added some extra characters into the Doraemon's world.

Giant Doraemon & The Three Little Pigs

I even drew long legs for Doraemon. When mama and papa told me Doraemon's legs are short, I quickly snapped and said "It is my own idea !" That was why there are three little pigs with the Doraemon !

SMURFS

La... La.... La La La La, Sing a Happy Song...............

Mama & papa started to introduce The Smurfs to me when they first brought me and mei mei to the cinema to watch The Smurfs Movie. Both of us love the smurfs instantly.

Then, mama showed me the cartoon and soon............

Smurfs at work

...... I began to draw my own smurfs ! I started with just a simple drawing.........

Smurfs in the lab

 ...... and slowly, I improved myself and add in more stuffs. I even draw the evil Gargamel !

Gargamel and Azreal being caught

 See, Gargamel and his cat in the cage.

Smurf's vehicle

Then, I invented the Smurfs' Car to bring the Smurfs around. I pity them for they have to walk all the time.

Smurf's Village

I also played the Smurfs game on mama's tab and came out with my own Smurfs' Village.

Smurfs and their mushroom house

I wanted the Smurfs to live in a higher ground comparing to their current mushroom house built on the flat ground. That was why I smurfed this picture.

Smurfs and more smurfs !

Same goes to this one, I smurfed a lot of mushroom houses on top of the hill with a mining cave at the bottom right. I wanted the Miner Smurfs to collect lots of treasures and be a Rich Smurf !

Dragons

Angry birds with dragon

Another Angry birds with dragon

This year is a Dragon year. When I was drawing my favourite Angry Birds, I saw a dragon picture in a magazine. I use that as a reference and managed to draw my own version of dragon together with the Angry Birds.
