I Love Studying Fashion

I got back my teminalogy binder and I got 100% for the second half. Great! :) I did very well in general in most of my courses. I got 93% on my midterm, the highest mark in class, for retailing which was something that I really enjoyed and learnt a lot. 91% for my midterm visual display which was the second highest mark in my class. and I got 89% on my illustration which I love and I spent a lot of time. I think BCIT really got me ready and tought me how to study. I never enjoyed studying this much before, other than my English and German classes that I took before. Lets wait and see what I will do with what I learn... :)

Vancouver Art Gallery

On Tuesday I went to Vancouver Art Gallery with my classmates for my Fashion Elements course. The name of the gallery was "Collecting Matisse and Modern Masters

The Cone Sisters of Baltimore". There were paintings of 2 sisters in 1880's who collected the unique and great paintings of some of the artists of their era. We had a gallery leader who showed us around and described a few paintings in the gallery. While he was talking I was taking notes and drawing the same paintings. Now I have a great collection of quick sketch of our visit to vancouver art gallery. We also watch a 20 minutes movie upstairs in the gallery which was created by Yang Fudong, Fifth Night. Great great piece of art! 5 cameras capturing one scene, but you won't able to see other cameras, and the whole story was so mystorious. I think this is something that people in film industry must see.

Now I have to choose one of those paintings in the gallery and draw 6 flats and illustration. fun! I put 2 pictures of my quick sketches... 

This is one of the paintings I drew from quickly in the gallery because we were not allowed to take pictures. I got this from internet.

Social Media is Amazing...

I just signed up for my Pinterest. Such a great place to show what you like and keep the interesting photos in any area you like and also let everyone else see that too. I could easily pin any photos that I like from style.com, the fashion website, and add it to my fashion board on my pinterest. It's a great way for me to keep track of my fashion designs that I like and also architecture photos. It's like a look book... I just love it! Fashionistas, this is a great website!
