Aep is finally over. The final grading is decided by 3 other teachers from rgs and rjc.
One of them was Mr Chia. Although I had only one conversation with him, I respected him. Another one was a female teacher who is quite kind in her remarks. Finally, it was a male teacher who was quite critical but i think quite true and had points for me worth considering.
I wasn't satisfied with the final product of my painting, actually I didn't really finish it. The teachers thought that the colour mixture was quite nice but didn't really quite being able to come out with the meaning of the painting, which i crapped out at the end. The female teacher suggested me to plan more before trying to finally paint it on the canvas. The male teacher thought that the colours didn't really bring out what I was supposed to show with the art work. Mr Chia said that he was disappointed with the painting. He found one of my older paintings really good and liked the sensitivity in the colours and stuff, but he said he found none on my painting. He gave me a word: pity.
I reflected on the teachers comment and I thought that instead of trying to make out a style of my own, i should start with the details. Another thing i realised is the reason i have started to paint impressionism styled paintings was because maybe i was too lazy to paint things. I think in order to improve my painting, I would have to think more, plan more and be hardworking. I hope through this I would be a better painter and I hope i will be able to apply it to other subjects and to aspects of life as well.
Aep is finally over, it seemed really short. Its a bit sad when i think back, the fun and good times we had during secondary three with ah min, cheng han and yong kong. Although many many things have changed this year, the experience was ultimately a very enriching one. We were forced to do things maybe we thought not suitable for us but I think it made me improve.
Goodbye Aep.
