29.10.2015–30.10.2015 On Thursday I returned to strengthening the lines with my pen. That pen I used is actually one that I've had ever since I began school from the first grade (I skipped preschool since it was optional back then) and it has been used for signing all the tests and all the school papers … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 12: Design a vehicle Part 2

Course 1, Diary 11: Design a vehicle Part 1
26.10.2015–28.10.2015 On Monday we began with an exercise: we had to pick a picture and make a mind map about the people in it. After that we had to make a plan for a vehicle of our own which these people would buy. I decided to make a bicycle for the man of the picture … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 11: Design a vehicle Part 1
Course 1, Diary 10: Subvert Part 3 & More writing
23.10.2015 Like I had expected, I did not manage to finish my subvert last night. I will finish it today after school. For this lesson I have to do something to pass time. I realized on this lesson that the fete the students of junior year prepare for senior year students in December near Christmas … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 10: Subvert Part 3 & More writing
Course 1, Diary 9: Subvert Part 2 & Writing my course diary
22.10.2015 I have my subvert thought and planned. I found the picture I need and downloaded it on my phone. I gave some thought for what I will put and where. That is all I could do on my phone, so I decided to start to write the course diary of yesterday and today on … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 9: Subvert Part 2 & Writing my course diary
Course 1, Diary 8: Self-portrait Part 4 & Subvert Part 1
21.10.2015 The next topic was making a subvert. Others started to move on to that and I took my black pencil and started to color the background. For the sake of keeping broken parts on chains visible in the dark, I added more blood to them. By the end of the lesson I was ready … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 8: Self-portrait Part 4 & Subvert Part 1
Course 1, Diary 7: Self-portrait Part 3
19.10.2015–20.10.2015 A new Monday after the holiday. It really is good to begin your school week after the autumn holiday (and normally) with a double lesson of visual arts. I was ready to continue my self-portrait (I believe I had too much inspiration left from continuing a personal project of mine on Sunday). I had … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 7: Self-portrait Part 3
Course 1, Diary 6: Self-portrait Part 2
7.10.2015–8.10.215 Like I said in the previous journal entry, I discarded the idea I had gotten. This decision came after the lesson as I thought about a rough idea I have had for some time. I have wanted to do it for a good while, but I haven't had time for it. I decided that … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 6: Self-portrait Part 2
Course 1, Diary 5: Self-portrait Part 1
6.10.2015 The presentations have been given. Now it was time to move on to the next topic: making a self-portrait. As was expected, everyone got horrified. "I can't draw!" many – including me – said. But we are in luck: we can choose any style of modern art or modernism. The portrait does not even … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 5: Self-portrait Part 1
Course 1, Diary 2: A presentation about pointillism Part 1
28.9.2015–1.10.2015 After making the Me and art collage we had to make a presentation about one of the isms of 19th and 20th centuries. We formed pairs and the teacher drew the isms for us. Me and Eerika got pointillism. We looked up some information on Monday already and from Tuesday onwards we went to … Continue reading Course 1, Diary 2: A presentation about pointillism Part 1
Course 1, diary 1: “Me and Art” collage
23.9.2015–28.9.2015 My first visual arts course during high school began on Wednesday by starting to thinking about and making a collage about our relationship to art. We had to answer some questions and then we started to make the collages. As a hobbyist artist I am interested in the whole course, and this particular task … Continue reading Course 1, diary 1: “Me and Art” collage
