Drawing fundamentals- textures 2

This week we made transparent, glossy, shiny, reflective, metal and heavy feel textures.I wasn't really good at this topic. :\

Adelaide, Australia

Adelaide, Australia 2014. It was a great experience to have the chance to travel overseas with my school and with all my friends to Adelaide last year. I realized that nobody really take notice of the details on the floor and the small but beautiful images that they walk pass. You might ask why i have to include my feet in every photo. Well, that is because it's my photo and I feel like the photo should include something that belongs to me and therefore my feet. Sure, I can use other things to represent my identity but keep in mind that I am travelling with a school and sometimes, there is hardly any time to stand at a spot to take a perfect photo!!!!

 I love how the shadows made the sand on the beach look three dimensional, I find the bloomed roses so pretty and you can hardly get nice looking flowers by the road here in Singapore. Details on the ground intrigues me and let me take a step back to think about how beautiful nature is.

                                                

This photo was taken during the boat ride on the way to Kangaroo Island. It was one of the most amazing boat rides I've sat on before. The water is so clear it's unbelievable. 

The 2 photos below were taken in Australia, in Kangaroo Island. This beach was filled with seals and it was an amazing sight to witness.

This was taken when i was walking on one of the bridges in Australia. The way the waves hit into the formation of rocks made it look special and nothing like what you can find here in Singapore.

This was just a random shed that i came across by the road. The way that it was run downed made it look very vintage and rustic and I find it nice .

Tackling the break the glass idea with another mind map

Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is a hot tourist destination. There is a 6-month wait time after getting a access to this place. It is located in Peru, South America. I grabbed these pictures from devinsupertramp on youtube. Machu Picchu is an abandoned city on the hilly mountains. The city is breath-taking.

 Not only is the ruins beautiful, so are the sights. Its something to brag about. Being to Machu Picchu is an honor. Although a tourist can only stay up there for 6 hours, it is really a great experience

There is a rustic feel of this place. The scary part of Machu Picchu is that the city is empty. No civilization, no farms, nothing. Not even bones. The indigenous locals does not even know this city exists! At night, no tourist are allowed to enter.

This is the entrance of Machu Picchu. There are two ways to enter, through the Inca trail, or by flight. By the Inca trail, it would take up to 5 days and 4 nights. The Incas are the indigenous people in Peru.

This is a view of Machu Picchu taken by National Geographic. They terrace the land here, most likely for crops a long time ago. As of now, Machu Picchu is an income generator for Peru.

Machu Picchu is an amazing place where I recommend people to go. I remember as a child, my parents brought me here and I thought it was  "just a place". 7 years later, after my friend taught me a bit on tourism in his Geography class, I realised I thought that this legendary experience was "just a place". I would definitely revisit if I have the time. I recommend anyone to come to Peru and enjoy Machu Picchu. It is truly, truly a legendary experience

One FC

One Fighting Championsip (One FC) is an event held usually in the Singapore Indoor Stadium one or twice in a year. This was my first time watching a fighting championship in person. The atmosphere was amazing and the way people cheer their favourite fighters was interesting to watch.

When the fighter makes an appearance, loud music will start blasting through the speakers and the fighter will walk out with his team right behind him. He will then proceed to the ring and wait for his opponent to make his arrival.

 I could still remember vividly that a fight happened just behind me where a guy put the other fighter down when the person next to him supports that fighter. That was when I know that I should be careful of what I say and do in here.
