Theme :: 100 Challenge [2009~]
"I haven't been producing finished works for...over 3 months now.
I feel bad - I want to get back to drawing.
So...While I've been sketching a few things lying on the sofa with the TV on...
I thought...why not try a 100 Themes challenge, just like many people on dA with artist blocks?
After searching for lists, I made a list of the themes of my "own".
I still am on the sketching stage, and will be until all of my equipments arrive in two months...
[moving to a different continent is very complicated indeed..]"

Theme :: Psychology [2007~2009]
Letter of Intention
It is generally known to us that psychology means science that deals with mental processes and behavior. I define psychology as something that can be best expressed when visualized. What matters is the product that deals with any psychological state that affects audience's feelings.
I have set my goal to visualize various concepts of the psychological states using a range of tools and techniques. Psychology can be divided into two groups; states of mind and emotion. The reason for choosing psychology as my theme because I'd like to explore various states of mind & emotions and learn to express them effectively while burying hidden messages at the same time.
What else do I do?
Besides the art classes, do I do any other activities related to art?
I have been a part of the school Yearbook team since 8th grade, as a designer for my class, school grade trip/activities pages. In the year of 2007/8, I have been the editor of the Yearbook Team and I believe it was a great success - after a year of restless days designing, checking, sending emails, organizing and editing pages, and finally seeing the completed yearbook print in my hands...
Also, this is the second year of being the designer in chief for a school magazine called "Horizon". It is a magazine that is made of articles of various issues that concern about many aspects of the modern world, written by CIS students. I don't feel as much stressed about being an Yearbook editor, because I'm more familiar with what has to be done how, thanks to my past two years' experience in Horizon.
