Paintin' to music

So for our last ever class we had paintin'' to music... i dint know what i had to do for it but all i know that it was paintin'... there was no limit to what we were allowed to use...
so first we had to do a paintin' to music of our genre.. we pick em and put it on as a play list....and blasted it out in our class blaring...

so i just stood there with every one painting...thinkin' what to do.. but i realise after a while there was no thinkin needed.. just doing... and when imagine dragon radioactive played i started paintin'... i mean i know mine looked solid cause it very straight forward but i saw it and interpret what the music was speaking to me.... i was thinkin of dragon and dungeon so i picked up the paintbrush and painted what was on my mind...a guy stood up and there was a dragon in front of em.. i dent even know why i drew it but i felt like drawing it... i guess that was the point to let it out through what you hear... and after imagine dragon played the song changed to a love song came on... i don't remember what the song was called but i know how it felt and you can see through painting... the man stood on a floor bed of a river and i wanted to portray what i would do to save that love one... i would split the sea in half to be with her... id kill any dragons in my way... but this was just the beginning of the painting...all i felt that love was able to let me do the impossible and i speak that through my painting... i didn't put any spray paint on it cause i didn't feel like it need it... the mountains and blue skies came after wards when the song from west life you raise me up came on... it felt peace full to hear and i feel like i need to put peace in there cause i felt peaceful at the time... as for the light at the top of the tower... the song lighter by Bruno Mars showed me that.. i dint even know i wanted that there but i felt complete after putting it... it was a great way to relief stress.... and i thank miss Lisa for this cause i was stressed enough for the exam for the next day...


the next paintin' we did was with classical music at the back ground... i did the same thing as i dad for the first painting.. sat down and listen... it was weird cause the tone kept changin'... it gave all kinds of mood cheer, joy, sorrow, fear you name it every time s track end it was a whole different mood... then i finally understood what miss Lisa was trying to make us understand... it was paint to music.. not paint what you want with music in the background... so you could understand why this one was so abstract compare the the first one... each time the music change the colour change and the strokes of the brush changed... but only that i felt that spraying was necessary not cause it suited the song but it was an alternitave to it... its uncommon to spray paint to classical misic in the background but i wanted to add a lil' bit of me in it... so when you look at it let it look at you.. cause i really brought this one to life with out even realising it... its interesting that it came out like that...there are over 20 layers of pain.... i mean paint on it... the little drips are what i felt when music with strong pianos are in the background and swooshes from the spray are stroke of violin red for excitement swoosh and black for complete uncertainty of what those noise made me feel... its all about how i felt for this assignment and i felt so free and liberated after it... its like i was holding back on all the grudges that the class have give me... i mean i know were friends but sometimes we drove each other insane but at the same time i love that about them... they made me who i am today.. in one year i have never experience something so rich and exciting... i really love em for this and as the last class i felt like crying when realising that... finishing my painting i let go of any grudges i had for anyone i didn't think painting could do something like this to me... and now they're up on my bedroom wall in Rawang...


So here it is my final post as an FID student... next time i blog it will be as a candidate of  the degree in graphic design student... i would like to thank all my lecturers... i would like to say that it was a privilege and an honour learning from you guys... i hope you all see this... i learnt so much in one year and experience so much of the design world... but i still have a long way to go... i hope i can honour your teachings by using it in my life ahead.. thank you for teaching me how to see so differently from the way i was before... and i hope i can carry all of your teachings into degree and on... and as for the class... i love you guys each person had they're own set of eccentricity and weirdness in their own way but its good being weird, don't let nobody put you down because of it, chin up and look em in the eyes and say...
Normal is Boring.
