FCM newbies~

this afternoon was walking out from a lecturer's office and i saw people standing at the 3rd floor of FCM(Faculty of Creative Multimedia in MultiMedia University) building, it doesn't seems like something u would see everyday. i go take a look on what they are looking.

oh, the first year FCMers are presenting their artwork on the floor for their lecturer Cermat to evaluate. Their artwork is so big that it does not suitable to put it on table. Everyone in the class display their artwork there, each of their artwork are as big as a Mahjong paper.

i was thinking: "wow! some kinda bazaar or art presentation! I feel like as if i am in Pasar Seni!!"
then, i walked down from the 3rd floor to the ground floor to check them out.

oooh things are like globe like images, trees, symbols that represents their hobbies...
all these are kinda symbolic type of art. i kinda like it and got kinda excited.
then i just starting to walk around their art works and take a brief look.

On the other side,the Cermat is scolding a guy who draw only a little picture in the big big mahjong paper. i not interested on what he scolding the student and i just walked through.

then i continue my tour around, and i met Christina.
she was kneeling in front of her artwork and setting her things up
i walked from her back and looking at her artwork
she looked back at i looked at her
she thought that i am her classmate then she wave at me
then i though she is someone that i-know-but-forgotten so i wave back at her
"u are from this class also?"
"no, i just passing by"

then we start discuss about Cermat and art stuffs
then i found out that Cermat only approves things that he likes
but i don't think that is what a lecturer suppose to be like this
a good art lecturer should be open minded andappreciate good artwork
but this Cermat...

he only approves artwork that suits his interest(it's common, i know)
but, even if the work is nice, if he doesn't suits his taste, he won't approve it...
sad huh?

if u ask me about my perception of art, if few years back i might answer u
"Art is any form that used to capture beaty."
but now, i would say that "Art is a way of expressing urself. Techniques is just basics, what is inside ur heart is the most important."

Many may not agree on this, but, i think artist should train themselves to be a well being and good person. Becuase(my argument) ur personality will affect everything u do(ur style, u temper, ur skills, ur way of thinking, ur interest, what u like... etc)

another thing is, the broad interests of art can benefits u,
even for professional artist often have this weakness, say, in hong kong,
many of them can draw guys nicely but sucks at drawing girls(imagine girls who look like guys)

if u understands this, everything that goes through u can be beautiful ;)
