Assignment 3: Colour Wheel

On the previous week, Ms. Lisa had told us to formed a group of 5 people in one group. Since our class is 37, we divided ourselves into 5 group consisting of 5 people and 2 groups consisting of 6 people. However, there were a problem with splitting the groups, so we ended up randomize the whole class to make it fair.

My group members:
1.Katrina
2.Yasmin
3.Tia Nellisa(me)
4.Mahbuba
5.Jing bo


For today class, Ms. Lisa wanted to see the idea sketches, as usual.

Our sketches ideas:

In the end, Ms.Lisa choose our "Eye of Colours" using kolam technique.

Our progression:

Thanks you Katrina for arranging the colours for us to paint the rice

I'm teaching them how to do the colour rice technique

 Sticking the base together for the eye

 Added the sclera for the eye

Spraying the paper plates

 Arranging the eyelashes

 Jing Bo paste all the eyelashes together

 First attempt of melting the crayon technique : Fail

(By Katrina)

After I helped her, it finally worked out

 Arranging the crayons

Now for the fun part, melting the crayons!! 

We took turns melting the crayons as it was very tiring. 

Final work:

Materials used:
Eris= Coloured Rice

Sclera= Polystyrene(cut into chunks)

Eyelashes= Paper Plates spray with black paint and Feathers from a feather duster 

Tears= Crayons 

Extra= Black Tissue paper

The eye represent what we see around us. The world is not in black and white, it filled with so much colours and emotion. The tears on the the other hand was a symbol of happiness, because not all tears are related to sadness.  

After seeing others group work, I feel like it would be better if our work is in 3D as well.
However, I was quite satisfied with what it look like in the end.

Good work everyone and thank you Katrina for all the pictures!
