ROSA PASTEL @ 12:59 PM
AND THIS IS MY FINAL PROJECT IN COLOR CLASS. :)
I LOVE IT :)
I used acrylic paint and gel medium. I used old newspapers and shreds of magazines for the collage. I painted everything else. As for the little birds, I drew them on paper and I used medium to stick them on. :)

HIGH CONTRAST @ 2:26 PM
I'm ANGRY!
I love this painting I'm doing. It's a high contrast portrait of
Twiggy.
I put in all my time and effort. This is the painting I did in straight 12 hours.
The teacher praised me saying I did a good job, I have a lot of
talent and
potential, and he says
that is the reason why he will push me harder and further. I took that as a
compliment and I know I should be flattered but he is acting like a
straight out jerk to me now. He criticises in such a
demeaning way, and I could only feel so
worthless. Seriously, I KNOW what's a constructive comment and what isn't.
What I dislike about him is that he will criticise your work and tell you you should change something.
BUT he doesn't tell me how to change it, but he helps other students when
they have difficulties. Then,
when I do something wrong, he
actually swears and
starts raising his voice at me. Then he'd
grab my paintbrush
out of my hands and paint for me.
I was offended. That is just plain
RUDE and it isn't even his OWN painting. I know
he's trying to help me, but
I felt like he lacked respect towards me. Then, he'd tell me to change something
in his manner.
I do it and he approves a bit. Later, he'd pass by and say '
who told you to do that?' and I'd have a
WTF-look on my face. Then he disapproves and tells me to
change it again. I get so angry sometimes.
[LEFT] This is the way
I did it. I did the iris green and the pupil was a dark fuschia to make the eyes stand out. And I added a thin like to separate the lips and make them look more defined,
because the teacher told me to do it. Because before, the lines weren't there and it just looked like big fat lips to him. So I did what he told me,
and he tells me to take it off now. FUCK MAN.
[RIGHT] He told me to take off the purple in the pupil and put
pink. Fuck she looks like something striked her right in the face. As for the lips, I left the lines there.
I hope this will be over soon. :)

PORT @ 12:58 PM
I was at school and took pictures of 10 of my paintings or drawings. I had to take two pictures of my work for my portfolio and 20 pictures of like daily life, like snapshots. That's for photoshop class so that I'd be able to use them to like manipulate pictures or whatever. The teacher didn'.t explain it very well though. He said as if we had to take 20 pictures of our work... for the portfolio. So today, I brought 11 paintings and drawings. Damn it. It pisses me off. It was so heavy when I brought it to school. But the pictures came out good. :D I went to the school's audiovisuel to borrow a camera and a tripod. I forgot to bring my USB key and shit so I feel ridiculous. I wasn't planning on doing the picture thing today. :T I was planning on doing it on wednesday night, after humanities class. But I was told that it doesn't take a lot of time to finish the assignment so I just did it, although I am missing two sculptures. I can always do that on wednesday. Today, I took pictures of the artwork I've always wanted to, so it's a win-win situation today :D It was a good opportunity YAY! :D And like there's this intercollegial contest going on for art students. We have to submit one of our artwork and I decided to submit the Twiggy portrait I did. I still have to show it to my teacher before I submit it though. :T Either that or I can paint something tonight. :D I'm really motivated. I just got to get it done before thursday, because that's when the jury chooses who gets to participate in the contest. I'd really like to get in that. :D I don't have homework for tomorrow. I have an exam on wednesday in humanities class.
This portrait I had to do for Org. Pict. 1.
Some drawing I did in HS about pollution.
A greyscale portrait for Color class last term.
A drawing I did like... 2-3 years ago. :)
Paintings of bamboo I did in Org. Pict. 1. with the theme China. I had other canvases that go with it as well, but I didn't take it in pictures. :T
A spray painting I did two years ago, in winter. :)
A painting I did during summer 2009.
A painting in which I just played with the colors. :)
18/01/2010
A painting I drew a long while ago. Like during the summer 2009 maybe.

This is the painting I'm
currently working on.
I inspired myseld from
Olivia Lufkin.
She's one of my
favorite singers. I

I'm going to paint this with a rustic feel to it, with some red and some ochre. :D

going healthy. @ 7:33 PM
I bought
granola and some yogurt. It's so good. I'm currently painting.
Eating helps me paint.
I'm painting
hues of blue, pink and red. I'm trying to express what I'm feeling right now
when I close my eyes. I see some sparkling stars, waves of joy,
crisp blue tears, and
glittering traits.
I'm trying to show how amazing this is against the fading pink backdrop of my imagination.
*
ps: i got my new retainer. i look so dorky and i sound retarded.
i can't pronounce my 's', and i can't close my mouth entirely.
it's so tight, it makes my mouth bulgy, like braces.
i miss my braces.
yay for geekiness!

PLASTIC TREE. @ 10:44 AM
I have a
new painting coming up.
The one I was supposed to be done with before the 24th of December. I have
a few more paintings going on for
L, for
K, and for
M, as well.
L sent me songs of this band called
Plastic Tree.
It motivates me to paint now. :)
These are only two songs. But I love this song called
Aotori, Spica, Harusaki Sentimental, Makka na Ito, Nemureru Mori,
PaidoPaipa, Chiriyuku Bokura. :)
I've been baking a lot lately to pass time. I've made
vanilla pudding, chocolate pudding, a
cheesecake. Now I want to make a
carrot cake! :)
This is my chocolate pudding! :D
This is my vanilla pudding! It's soo goood! This is my half-eaten cheesecake :)
(note: I know I look exhausted and gross. :P That's what I look like when I'm at home. :D)
And it's me with my MOM! <3>
*
I HAVE A PHOTOSHOOT SESSION TODAY WITH MAI.
GOTTA GO NOW! :)
I'll post pictures tonight.
Love, Sylvia.

Christmas is here~! @ 9:57 PM
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I'm so tired. This morning, I woke up with Mai next to me. She was still asleep when I got up to go get my passport done. She talked to me in the middle of the night, and
I don't really recall anything, just itsy bits and pieces. Anyways, I couldn't get my passport done,
because I forgot my license at home.
GRRR! Mai and I just fooled around. :) She then left in the afternoon. I took a nap till it was time to go out and eat supper. We went to this Chinese restaurent. It wasn't so bad, but
let's say that today's meal wasn't their greatest. I have to admit, they
were pretty busy. It
IS Christmas Eve. I went back home and I packed my bags. I'm leaving for Toronto tomorrow morning. :)
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE VEE AND JESS!

CUTEOVERDOSE. @ 2:36 AM
This is a painting I did for a friend's birthday. It's
full of
sweets, and cute illustrations.
HAPPY BIRHTDAY, YH!
21.12.09IT'S SO CUTE! I LOVE IT!
It's the first time I was able to paint cute drawings like this one. Usually, I draw them, outline it with a black pen, and use some Pro Markers and the drawing is done.
BUT THIS! 
Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.*Claude Monet

Fragilité. @ 11:33 PM
C'est mon projet de fin de session. Le thème était
la Chine. Tous les autres élèves ont montrés des éléments traditionels de ce pays, comme
la couleur rouge et jaune, les dragons, les lanternes, etc. Alors que moi, j'ai décidé de montrer la Chine en tant qu'un individu et non unifiée comme elle est montrée, et qu'elle n'est pas aussi 'puissante',
disons. J'ai voulu montrer la fragilité, le côte délicat et fin de ce pays. Donc, j'ai représenté une fille chinoise
en toute sa vulnérabilité, des bamboos à l'horizontal, contrairement à ce que l'on voit d'habitude. Les bamboos sont souvent illustrés verticalement pour montrer sa puissance, sa hauteur,
mais je l'ai mis à l'horizontal. J'ai dessiné une partie de la silhouette d'un cerisier avec ses pétales en rouge pour donner un effet minimaliste,
simple et fin. J'ai fait la même chose pour les baguettes pour représenter nos besoins. J'ai relié cette toile à celle de l'arbre en appliquant le même style;
un fond pale neutre, une silhouette noire, et l'utilisation de la couleur pour les fleurs. En tout cas, je l'ai nommé
Fragilité, et présentement, cet ensemble est mis en valeur dans mon salon. :)
J'en suis très fière!

Laurianne's farewell dinner
@ 4:05PM
This past weekend was
full of laughter.
Mai came over to my house.
Gosh i love her.
She stayed over the whole weekend, and we just
fooled around silly. My mother even said ''
Since when did we have another daughter?'' I guess that shows how much time Mai spends over at my place. :)
Today was .... I am absolutely speechless.
Only one word can describe my day. It was
AMAZING! first off, i woke up with my best friend laying beside me. And man, I have to say she was exhausted because she snored all night. hahahaha. Then, we fooled around, rolled around, laughed a bit, and we got our things and left. We took the bus at around 2. I got to school at around 3ish. I met up with Marie-Claude and we talked. I'm really going to miss her. She's so funny. :D
This is her final project.
Class wasn't so bad. I can't believe it's all ending. The term passed by so quickly.
I can't believe it. For my paintings, I used 5 canvases, and the theme was China. I named my piece
Fragilité.
This is my project! :D I'm really proud of it! It's now hanging in my living room.
We're awesome! From the left clockwise; Sophia, Philippe, Catherine, Sarah, Me and Laurianne.
Our first session is over! I'm going to miss you guys!
in case you're wondering, the chinese writing on the blackboard is indeed mine. I have horrible handwriting in chinese.
我很愛你們!
♥
After class, we went to dinner at
Chez Paesano on Saint-Denis street. It's because Laurianne is leaving for Africa on friday, and she will be back on the 6th of January.
I took a Spaghetti du Papa. It was delicious. OMG! SO GOOOOOOOD! :D Just thinking about it makes me all giddy. Although it was so filling, I think all our stomachs were about to burst. After the dinner, we went all the way down to Old Port and walked around. we fooled around so much. I remember
we were singing I've just seen a face out loud, screaming, running, skipping, shouting, laughing, and we were just plain mental.
Honestly, I'd rather be freaking mental than sane, because I feel so much more free this way. I think that we should be afraid of being ridiculous. I mean, feeling young and free, and being able to be ridiculous among your friends is something i hold dear, because
how long will we be able to do this?
We would have to grow up eventually, so I might as well take advantage of my youth now, and act like an idiot
(with a responsible mind, of course). It was cold outside, but I guess we were enjoying ourselves so much that the weather didn't bother us anymore. Afterwards, we went back to the metro, and we got a hot chocolate at good ol' Timmy's. It was delish after all that crazy fun. I'm home and now and honestly, I feel like I will have a good night sleep tonight. :D I'm going to edit this post later and add the pictures of today's outing. I'm currently uploading pictures that have been left aside in my laptop for months onto FB now. My friends have been nagging me since forever, so i would post them.
Like i said, laziness gets the best of me. HAHAHA, but I'm doing it now. Tralalalala.
It's us in Old port!
Laurianne, Sarah, Sophie, Catherine, Philippe and me!
Me, Sarah, Sophie, Catherine and Laurianne!
Catherine and i making silly faces. Then, along with Laurianne, we looked like idiots. :)
I'm listening to Come be my lady by Big Bang. They're one of my favorite bands! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
let me show you i can love you from the depth of my heart.
