My current hobby/obsession. I attended a workshop for pointed pen calligraphy. Ever since then, I have never been this in love with writing ever before. Pointed pen calligraphy requires more skills as we have to control the pressure. The workshop started off with practicing drills and showing us the proper way to hold the oblique pen. It was definitely not easy at first, but I got the hang of it really fast. I wanted to learn calligraphy is mainly because I have been watching people online doing calligraphy for the longest time, I decided to stop looking and start learning. Practice makes perfect. The photos below are taken during the workshop.

What makes a good/average/poor series with regard to consistency
1. Good consistency: variation within the theme / eclectic mix with a good range but bound strong unmistakable mood and style.
2. Average Consistency: some variation within the theme / an acceptable mix with a range loosely bound around a mood and style.
3. Poor Consistency: not much variation within the theme / monotonous mix with a poor range bound poorly with weak mood and style.

All 5 images must maintain an identity by way of mood and style. Consistency while
required must not be predictable, suitable variations within the theme needs to be present in the series.

Official ceremony: TUESDAY 23 Aug, 2016
Time: 10 am
Venue: Center of Design and Architecture (CODA at TULC Commercial Block).

About MINUS THIRTY DEGREES: Most photographers take weather as part of their important factor and consideration in order to obtain ideal photographic results. However, Alex's approach is to use weather and it’s ever changing phenomena as his artistic subject of investigation. Investigating fog and mist formation as his metaphoric subject in the Himalayan borderlands, Wong continues to arrest subject and condition that is below 30 celsius. "The chilling and unfriendliness weather condition keeps people away, and I find it strangely beautiful. It endures my presence, but it is rarely welcoming. The deep silence sounds like eternity, and makes me alive again," Alex describes of his photography. Exhibition begins August 22 – September 2, 2016

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Dr. Yoong Wah Alex Wong grew up in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Since January 2003, he is a faculty member at Sabancı University, Istanbul, Turkey, giving courses in the area of Digital Modeling, Computer Animation, Digital Video, Motion Graphics and Arts. He is the Erasmus coordinator at Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. In 2006 and 2014, he received the Graduating Class Teaching Award from all faculties at Sabancı University. In 2010, he received the Teaching Award at Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Sabancı University.

After capturing images around the campus/out-of-campus, select the best image in your estimation, edit and prepare the image file with white borders (as directed during the Editing exercise) and print an 8x10 print from Photomedia:

Capture 4 Images adhering to any of the mentioned principles below:

Domination/Emphasis • Isolation • Balance • Repetition
Alignment • Contrast • Rhythm • Symmetry/Asymmetry
Harmony • Perspective • Reflection

Print all 4 images on an A4 as instructed in class.

(Put to use what you have learned in the Zone system exercises here)

Marking Criteria: The image must show evidence of the dominant principle used and the supporting principles (if any) underpinning the composition. The principles underpinning the image must be named and should be visible within the image. Students must showcase their knowledge on exposure using the zone system.

Objective: Students will be able to use the above mentioned rules or principle to make or capture interesting, dynamic or subtle compositions.
Learning outcome 1: Students will be able to use exposure settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed & ISO).
Learning outcome 3: Students will be able to distinguish a bad exposure from a good exposure.
Learning outcome 2: Students will be able to use the Zone System exposure technique to achieve desired results.
Learning outcome 4: Students will be able to apply the Rule of Thirds and principles underpinning composition.

The results of your principles underpinning composition exercise was mixed in its outcome; there were some excellent shots with appropriate principles but there were also some unflattering ones. The good ones were; #4,3 & 1.

Gallery Visits - Petronas Gallery

The Al-Kesah exhibition pays a tribute to an artist ahead of his time with the ability to transcribe a single thought into rousing collection of visual statements. Ismail Zain (1930-1991) sought to make a statement through his own work - forgoing modes of expressionism in favour of a more objective way of framing the world.
