On my free time..I did another abstract...but it is not as good as the one I did in the competition..I did it with the kids at my house but I mostly did the work. I would like also to make my nieces to have interest in ART and to make them open minded as well.

Amin!

2008-10-27T06:36:00.000-07:00

Hey there..during the competition...there are lots of paintings...and there are all awesome..I like..hehehe..but I'm sorry to say that I have forgotten to take a picture of Uncle Faizal's art installation (the winner who 's got the Plasma TV)...

Alwi's work

Finally, my work and there a story behind it. My Soft Pastels were stolen at the competition. I have the soft pastels' paper (cansas) so that I can draw a still life with it and I have an idea how to draw it with my creativity and original idea but unfortunately I could not do it. However..my friend, Farhanah and a new friend, Wan (the birthday boy) helped me by lending their things...Thanks for that guys...so instead of using my idea..I decidecd to express my emotions and that time and my feelings nearing the time when it the competition was over.

I am not really satisfied with my work but it did kind of release the stress.

Sorry for the not so good pictures

I think that is all for now!!!

Some of my old and recent photographs that I wanted to display for the exhibition..nda kesampaian..haha by Idraki Indzar

2008-06-22T12:45:00.000-07:00

Hai guys,

Here are some of my work on photographs that I wanted to print but did not have the money to print for the exhibition. It's not much as I'm still learning. In addition, the camera was only 3.2 MP and it was not Nikon or Canon. I was using Casio Exilm.

CUTE tortise ah..KAWAII!!!

I don't really know why I like this one so much..probably because it's different. Weird huh? (above)

All of the above photos are taken at Tasek Lama

You might think this is edited by adobe photoshop (below and above) but they are actually taken on the spot using different settings of the camera. (recent ones)

I like this photo below because it 's so calming for me. (recent)

Using Surinah's camera, also 3.2 MP (recent)

The same goes for this photo below (recent)

Below are all the photographs that I've taken in 2006.

I like taking photography since I was a kid but did not have the chance to take photographs due to no cameras. Now that I'm working I would like to buy one, a professional one such as NIKON D60 or D80 or any type as long as it's a professional one.

I would like to learn more about cameras and how to take good quality photographs from now on and I would like to someone to guide me in the future. Soon to have a teacher who wants to teach me though. Wish me luck!

The exhibition..;phewitt!!!

2008-06-20T21:39:00.001-07:00

Hi readers,

Before I went to the gallery for the 1st day of the exhibition, I went to print some forms and label at the Serusop 3 cent photocopy shop but it was still closed. It opened at 8:30am so I went to Top Bake instead waiting for it to open. I was feeling hungry at that moment. At Top Bake I saw Joanna and chat for a while..ESEMEN!! PHEWIT!! Rupanya..kna bom nie karang..haha..aku lambat datang bukan sal ia sal photocopy shop alum buka bah.

Deena cutting the labels for the paintings, malu konon.

Reena and Ampuan making themselves busy before i took this picture..mau lgi posing tu

The reading of DOA and before this photo was taken it was the opening ceremony (cutting the ribbon)

This is our guest of honour, Zakaria Omar who is an artist, writing our guest book given by Armacester.

Ani jua masuk newspaper tapi arah Borneo Bulletin. Redzuan explaining his Art work.

Hadi, a new member, explaining his paintings and he also likes to do magic tricks with cards.

Farhanah's happy face, smiling with Zakaria explaining a bit of things. Basically i was not really listening.

XartiC was invited to the MD exhibition byTeacher Arma

2008-06-02T17:31:00.000-07:00

Hi to everyone reading the blog.

In May, the members were invited to MD exhibition. This exhibition is consists of component 1 and 2 work. This exhibition started 3 years ago which was in 2006. We've seen lots of VIEWTIFUL stuffs there. All I can say that Bruneians are very creative and I am proud to be one of them. Looking at some of the paintings drawn by the students make me feel so..feels like saying more than AWESOME!

Here some some photos taken from the exhibition event.

Some of XartiC members that attended the exhibition.
From left to right sitting: U-di, Far, Reena, Khairi and Nabil (Leader).
From left to right standing: Idraki (Asst.leader)and Deena.
Ampuan attended the exhibition but she had to go early.

This is the paining most of our club members like. This is one of teacher Arma's students' work and she is very proud of her students' work. Teacher Arma is also a very good and hard working teacher and she is joining the club's exhibition to display her work so if you want to see her work, please come to the exhibition starting 14th until 22nd June at 10am.

This is also student of Teacher Arma's painting. cool huh?

This is another student's painting. It's very calming to see.

Below are some pictures taken of Ms. Katy Hick's sculpture outside the MD art studio.

Ms. Katy Hick is also a very good and hard working teacher.

Creepy but cool.

I think that is all. Before i forget there's an exhibition at the Old custom (Kastam Lama) in Bandar Seri Begawan area near the used to be fish market, opposite Dairy Queen on the 8th of June 2008. Please come to the exhibition and support Brunei Artists.

Preparation for our first exhibition

2008-05-31T23:04:00.000-07:00

Hi 'XARTIC' Readers,

During these times, before the exhibition starts we are all busy doing our own personal stuffs as well the club's stuffs so hopefully what we do for the club will be worthed. We have display some of our paintings and most of them are ready to be sold. Some are not for sale. If you want to see the awesome paintings please come on the 15^th until 22^nd June 2008 for the exhibition. We start at 10am until 4:30 pm. Below are some pictures that we have taken of doing some work preparing stuffs to be done.

This photo was taken when Denna had troubles drawing her potrait of Ely Mazlin that she is going to display at the exhibition. Nabil helped her by showing what pencils to use to control her tonal values.

Nabil showed the pencils to Deena.

Nabil explaining the details about pencils from 'F' to the darkest one.

Nabil was using water color to do this painting of HM for the competition and I hopefully and wish he win this competition. This is what i meant before when I said that we are also busy with our personal stuffs. As a leader of this club, Nabil had done so much to run this club.

This is Zaza asking for help from Idraki. Idraki was explaining about sketching.

Idraki showed her how to sketch.

Both Zaza and Idraki are referring to the laptop to see the photograph that Zaza was going to sketch on her own.

This is Farhanah's mum. She is kind and very helpful to us. She is also joining the club's exhibition.

Fatimah working together with Nabil to display her paintings. How romantic.

Nabil helped Idraki to hammer something because Idraki wants to display something from the ceiling.

Fatimah concentrating on her painting with her passion of ART. As one of the ranked people, she has done so much too like Nabil and Idraki. The members are active as well. By the by, Idraki has finally recovered from his injuries. Wish him luck for his coming Geography A level examinations. (This is what I meant about busy doing his personal stuffs too)

Therefore, the point of showing this club's activities is about teamwork. Without teamwork, it will be very hard for us to finish or to accomplish anything.

I think that is all folks. Thanks for reading.Please give comments when you read.

Assalamualaikum, read our next post. We'll be updating it every now and then. If we have the time that is.

The foundation of XARTIC

2008-05-23T17:26:00.000-07:00

You must be curious of what this club is all about. Well, for starters, this club is about ART. To summarize this is by telling our aim and objectives.

Aim:

Exposure for Bruneians

Objectives:

Increasing the standard of Art in Brunei

Voicing out new ideas for Art as well as making the new ideas into reality

Developing Art skills

Developing in confidence

Other than that, this club is freedom and fun!!! Which makes it even more interesting

Why the name of the art club is Xpressionists Art Club or Xartic?

“Xpressionists” came from the word Expressionists but got inspired from the word Expressionism. This name is actually found by Idraki Indzar (Assistant leader of the club) after a few months thinking of the best name for the club. The club was actually named BAC (Brunei Art Club) but we decided that the name ‘Brunei’ is like too big for our club and decided to change the name to something else instead.

We would like to use Brunei as the name of our club but our club is not really approved by the government and do not have any sponsors yet. This is also one of the reasons why we decided to change the name of the club.

We had actually lots of names for the club but then most of the names are not suitable and not really creative enough. The art club is also known as “Xartic” the short form for the club so people can pronounce it easily rather than saying it fully all the time.

Idraki was actually listening to some of the old songs and that got him thinking that those songs are expressed feelings through song lyrics with different types of music beats. He thought that since emotions and feelings can be expressed through songs it can also be expressed in art so the word ‘Expression’ came to him and thought of ‘Expressionists’ that he used to study when he was still doing his Art A level courses. In addition, this club is not just about expressing feelings and emotions but it can also express our ideas and thinking through ART.

Now that the club is running in progress, we are hoping for the club’s success and will keep on and last long in Brunei. Hopefully with this name we can create a better place for Art in Brunei and it can pursue its aim and objectives in the near future. Hopefully with this name, the club will get a sponsorship as well so that this club can survive in a very long time.

This is Nabil with kids surrounding him looking at his sketch of the view he was looking at. See how supportive and amazed the kids were.

These are two of the XARTIC members. The one in green shirt is Ruysdi, his nick is U-di (say as Yudi). The other one is Khairi.

This is Fatimah and also sketching something but using color pencils straight away..cool huh?

This is Ampuan (green shirt) and Zaza (in purple).

These are the XARTIC members that attended the Sunday outing trip to Tasek Lama. The picture below are the members as well as their supporters. You can see Denna and Rain (bottom) and Alim (Denna's supporter), Ampuan (middle) and two supporters of Ampuan's ..who were cut off from the view. (above)

This picture below..there was a turtle there..cool!! cute !! Fatimah said that she thought that the turtle was sick. I do not know how she knew but i think she's got the SIXTH sense.

This is an artist and his name is Zakaria. He has help us a lot and he's the club's mentor.

Nice view tie..so soothing!! Idraki took it.

U-di taking water from part of the pond. He was doing acrylic painting..if I'm not mistaken

Idraki poses holding a long vine. Nabil said he looked like a Vietnamese that got chase by dogs. I wonder why?! Talking about Idraki, while doing his work by taking photographs with Khairi. He fell from a hill because he was frightened the big barking dogs. He ran and fell. Now I think you know why Nabil said said i was like a Vietnamese chased by dogs.

The day that he fell.

The day after he fell. However he thought differently. He said that he was doing his work "for the love of art" and it was worthed because he did take some good quality photographs. You will see it at the exhibition in June.

So that's all folks..Thanks for reading. we'll see you at the exhibition.

Assalamualaikum!
