BCU PROJECT X FOTAN 2014

No clue what 7 to draw.
After spending the whole day painting, I was not very satisfied. It was overly simplistic, and the crowded objects along with those ribbons seemed a bit out of place.
On the third day, there was some improvement. The image was becoming more complete and suddenly looked better.
Starting to have confidence in myself.
When I first put pen to paper, I will never know how the outcome will be. I’m not trying to promote any positive mindset that just believing in yourself will make everything okay. I adopt a skeptical attitude, somewhere between ignorance and arrogance. Understanding my abilities and shortcomings, I grit my teeth and do it. If luck is on my side, the result will be good; if not, the performance will be poor. Just remember to reflect on myself so that I can progress in the future.

In Birmingham, people are friendlier than in London. I go out twice a day to buy food and spend most of my time in my dorm. I go to McDonald’s for breakfast, then sleep until the afternoon. Year 3 at Birmingham City University has been smooth. I have classes at BCU twice a week and had some challenges at the start, but things are going well now. I completed my final project during the holidays break, submitting it as videos and photos. It has been four years since I last painted on a wall, and I miss it. This time, the layers are more complex and abstract.

感覺伯明翰城市的人較倫敦友善和有耐性,gallery 和 museum 與倫敦相比較少。有可能,這只是我沒心機探索而已。一如以往,每天出外兩次買東西吃,然後整天呆在學生宿舍。後來養成惡習,居然每朝六點等 McDonald 開門吃早餐後才睡覺,第二天瞓到三四點。實在不太清楚自己是廢青還是宅男。每個星期兩天上堂和 tutorial,BCU Year 3 也是平安渡過。雖然學期初有少沙石,學期中經常缺席曠課,學校給發 warning letter。好在當時的教授頗欣賞我,便替我「解釋」了。 FInal project 在過年放假時完成,以影片和照片形式遞交。對上一次在牆上畫畫已經是四年前,好懷念手感,今次層次高了,複雜了,少咗童真,更抽象,多了兩三重 layers 。
