The earthquake has been a very scary experience, had me freaking out there for a while but I'm very happy to say that my son and mum are safe.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>I wanted to share with you all what I've been doing in my Visual Arts Class. </b><br />
<br />
Yesterday in class we spent the day drawing and painting apples. Mind you I have only been using charcoal. I'm a very precise, neat, clean artist. So I find the messiness of charcoal hard to deal with mentally (even though I understand how to use it), it drives me crazy but I really want to be able to because I love the look of charcoal drawings. There are 9 of us in the class and it has been wonderful to watch everyone's process and results. I'm very slow, I like to take my time, part of the precise part of my nature I guess. Do a bit, step back and assess, do a bit more. Yesterday I got 3 of my 6 needed drawings done. Here is two of my favourites. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>This was my second drawing today and I'm pretty happy with the result but there are some areas that I want to do a little bit more work on.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBG0flZNBVmoxr4fFfpXwgjvbQd2_-Fhdu9IfOUokAG22FumpVhETFblew1Ema40ageN7Xki3dNvpXOHUXEscz_k3VIyny25spcQcW_zTneupiW4btObWjxcOYawkqExqCjwfvCrE2C50y/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBG0flZNBVmoxr4fFfpXwgjvbQd2_-Fhdu9IfOUokAG22FumpVhETFblew1Ema40ageN7Xki3dNvpXOHUXEscz_k3VIyny25spcQcW_zTneupiW4btObWjxcOYawkqExqCjwfvCrE2C50y/s640/003.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So this weekend and next week I will be working on the other pictures that I need to get done and then cropping out parts of my drawings that I like the composition. From these croppings I will be picking one to paint in the style of Matisse on a very large scale. Which more than just a little bit scary.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I really hate being on a diet, counting calories but the time had come. On Monday I downloaded the <a href="http://www.myfitnesspal.com/">My Fitness Pal</a> app for my iPhone, looked up some healthy recipes, went and bought some healthy food and started.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">You know what it hasn't been too bad.<b> </b>In fact lots of the meals have been really yummy. <b> </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG02MfAQ-2Jgotl7kol4PGs0XCo_AEYGtjpX5AIzgqxFHVz44c1T-93U3gVx0-UIM4lwQE7G-Ad3K-SnuB8F0Xfx8NVcGMllXBZAGIlHysO8Vs5O7VcJCUflQV3hx2k6QdUUgYK_GODvTR/s1600/IMG_0051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG02MfAQ-2Jgotl7kol4PGs0XCo_AEYGtjpX5AIzgqxFHVz44c1T-93U3gVx0-UIM4lwQE7G-Ad3K-SnuB8F0Xfx8NVcGMllXBZAGIlHysO8Vs5O7VcJCUflQV3hx2k6QdUUgYK_GODvTR/s320/IMG_0051.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My son would be so proud of me. I cooked chicken that I coated by hand and then cooked and ate. Which is a big step for me I really don't like the look or smell of raw meat and if I do get to the point of cooking it I normally chicken out (pardon the pun) on eating it. I'm OK with mince and sausages but anything else is really hard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>The Digits</b> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So *cough cough* I currently weigh 120kg and I want to get down to 80kg. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I know myself and I know that's a big step to try and take so I have set a mini goal of getting down to 110kg by the 16th of May. That's 10kg in ten weeks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm going to be blogging my progress, recipes and other useful info once a week to help me stick with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<li>On the 20th of March 2011 my son and I will read through all the suggestions and we will both pick a winner. </li>
<li>Be creative, the winners will <u>not</u> be drawn randomly, I will be most likely looking for a really creative idea and I wouldn't be surprised if Dion doesn't pick something that will put me out of my comfort zone. But just so you all know, things like bungy jumping and skydiving will not be happening, hehe.</li>

Get an IQ2Those that know me know that I love a gadget. I have wanted an IQ2 (IQHD) ever since I got cable tv. After getting ticked off one to many times that I couldn't record two things at once and watch another thing I bit the bullet. And now woo hoo we have IQ2. <br />

This year I'm studying Cert 3 in Visual Arts and Contemporary Craft. But it's hard to call it studying, today I did nothing but paint from the moment I walked into class till the very end of the day.<br />
<br />
I thought that I would share with you all one of the very first things that we learnt in class and something we start with any day that we are drawing.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Blind Contour Drawing </b></div><br />
Blind contour drawing is drawing the outlines of an object without looking at the page and without taking your pencil off the page. It really helps to train your hand/eye coordination, by doing this you can train you eye so you can draw what's in front of you.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>It <u>really</u> doesn't matter what you are drawing or that what it ends up looking like what you have been drawing. My teacher gets us to draw the same thing over and over again on the same piece of paper. These drawings can then be used to create other pieces of artwork.<br />
<br />
Next week I can hopefully remember to take some pics of the artwork that I have been working on from my blind contour drawings.<br />

Buy a Great CameraNot long before Christmas my camera was starting to get worse (draining batteries really fast) so after doing my research I finally decided on the Pentax RZ10. So off to the city we traveled to pick it up, by shear luck I stopping off at another camera shop before going to the one I had planned and they had it for $50 less. Woo hoo score.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I did a couple of things different from the tutorial. I used picnik to change my pic to posterize. I wanted my finished artwork to big really big, so I printed my pic over 9pages (3wide by 3 high, on landscape but it might be different depending on the pic as I had already cropped the pic) and taped the pages together. When I posterized my pic on picnik I chose to used 4 colours/shades. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Christmas, Brisbane flooded, my son started high school, there was a death in the family, I returned to TAFE, ticked of couple of my day zero goals and we also have some very exciting news that I'm going to share with you all very soon.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>So today I'm going to share with you all what I have been working on </b></div><div style="text-align: left;">As some of you might remember we are currently making over my sons bedroom, if you didn't catch that post you can read about it <a href="http://imaginationinflightblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/growing-up.html">here</a>. Over the holidays I spotted a crochet rug on a website (I cant remember where, oops) my son loved it and wanted one like it for his new room. So here is my work in progress. </div><br />

I'm making it using 180cm wide stretch jersey knit that I got from J.J's at Redcliffe for only $4 a mitre cut into strips and sewn together to make a very long cord. I don't have a pattern so I'm just winging it, I have had to undo a couple of rows a couple of times but I think I'm onto a formula now that is working.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for follow up pics, I will also be blogging some of the things that have happened since I last blogged.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">As soon I saw this tutorial from <a href="http://alphamom.com/">Alphamom</a> for <a href="http://www.alphamom.com/family-fun/holidays/snow-globe-soap/">Snow Globe Soap</a> I knew that I had to share it with you all, also it's a great activity for kids and parents to do together. Wouldn't these make a great present for your child's class mates. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
I will be having a crafty giveaway sometime during the twelve days of craft, so stay tuned.<br />
