The Music video!

For the Easter holiday we got an extra homework thing, it was to either do a flash mob with the dances we'd learnt in the dance day, or make a music video.
As I live too far away from everyone who is doing the flash mob i decided to do the music video.

I already knew the song What is love by Exo so i thought it would be fun. It was very stressing because i had no idea what to do! I just wrote what is love in different ways and took photos of them, as i was putting it together i literally restarted it like five times...sigh. anyway I made it! it's not amazing but I hope you enjoy it anyway. I do plan on doing another one one day, with more time hehe.

here it is:

As you may see in the video I love watermelon.... haha

Week seven homework

This week the homework changed on Thursday so I only had two days. I decided to do Homework no. 3 which was Make a book cover for a Korean book.

I have so far only read two books by Korean authors.
They were both very good but my favorite was the one I decided to make a new cover for, and that book is...Please look after mother by Shin Kyung Sook!
Here is the original cover (The one I know and read):


The story is mostly set in Second Person which gives it a dreamy atmosphere, but it also changes characters (which seems to be popular in Korean books as the other one did the same) and I can't really remember if it stayed in Second person the whole way.
The basic plot line is a mother (her children are already grown up so more of an ajumma haha) who (I think she starts to forget things a bit...) goes to Seoul with her husband to see her children and on the subway he(her husband) looses her. It then follows her children as they try to find her.
There is a pit in the book where "You" or her daughter does to hand out fliers but people mostly just walk past, there was a lot of feeling in that part and so I thought it would be a good image to illustrate the book. I drew a woman handing fliers out, and then I thought i could print out people and make a sort of collage; it didn't exactly work so as I was thinking of what to do next I remembered another part where the mother/old lay herself is sitting in a crowed and the people just walk past, That was what I tried to portray with my book cover.

Here is a picture of the collage I made followed by the edited "book cover" with a red and a blue version:





I'm still not sure which one I like more, but lets say blue what about you?
Till next time, XX kiki.

Week Six Homework

our Homework this week was basically to make a Origami Hanbok and other origami things. We all got a sheet of instructions, Here is my first attempt:


I figured that One, the skirt was too short, and two, that The top was too big so I made more and slowly found the faults and improved it.
Here is the final product:





And here is a head I put on one:

 I gave the cut out face the traditional (well something like it) braided hair I've seen in dramas and a hair pin like the one we got to try on hanbok day.
Then there are also the Ttak ji:
They where quite easy and fun to make.
If you have origami paper then method two is the best but if you have normal paper than method one is best. I did some different sizes:


Tried playing the game as well but it's really hard!!! one tip if you try plying it is make the cross face down. I'll keep trying, but, so far I've only been able to flip one once! TT^TT

I made A video of how to make the paper hanbok, the one i'm making in the video is the on in the second picture ( you'll recognize it).
Enjoy xx
