We have two resident artists. One is a digital wiz, the other works with more traditional media. Like ink. And paint. I’ve known for a long time that Alex could draw and paint but I didn’t really think she was as good with sculpture until she finished her latest school project. Apparently, I’m not the only one who’s impressed. Her teacher was more than happy with her work.
It started with a photo of her face which was translated to a relief. The image was formed using modeling clay.
Alex’s art teacher, a product of the U.P. College of Fine Arts, told the class that this project was something he did as a second year college student. Challenging for high school kids not all of whom are seriously into art. But Alex is. Very seriously.
I don’t know if the project is complete, Speedy commented that a portion of the rim lacks the blue trimming, but I know that it already earned glowing feedback from Alex’s teacher. And I’m happy for Alex because she poured a lot of time into this project, as she always does with her all art projects. And I’m not just talking about school projects. She does a lot of art stuff that aren’t school related but she gives them all just as much time and effort. Well, we all tend to give a lot of loving attention to projects and activities that we enjoy. In Alex’s case, it’s art.
WOW!! Ang galing!
Inggit nga ako eh. Nakaka-insecure hehehehe
one proud mama!
That, I am. She gets moods when she’s working on a project but when she finishes, she’s an angel.
So imaginative,creative,artistic…gifted.
You don’t have to buy works of art.Your daughters’ works will
surely fill your home.
You and Speedy are blessed!
She made a poster early this year. Entire paper was painted then the paint scratched out little by little (etching, I think is the term) to reveal the design. Was left at the back of the pick-up, it rained, hayun, nasira. Sayang.
Galing-galing! Congratulations Alex (and proud Mom Connie)! Looking forward to seeing more of your works.
I think this deserves a place of honor in your living room.
Beautiful execution. Nakakainggit talaga, that’s how I feel about my artistic sisters.
Way to go Alex.
That’s a gift. Ang galing!
I’m wondering how to preserve it. Maybe a coat of varnish or something to prevent discoloration later on. I’ll have to tell Alex to ask her teacher for the best solution.
Galing galing!
But you could also do a similar work of art Ms Connie. You can bake a cake that looks like Alex’s sculpture. Isn’t that your art?
Oh my gosh. What an idea! Tempting, tempting…. hehehe
wow ms connie! ang galing naman
she is indeed gifted. and she takes her craft seriously. very good indeed!
Hindi pa daw tapos yang project na yan. They’re supposed to make casts out of the reliefs and make oversized “coins.” I guess that’s what I really should wait for. Masaya na kasi ako sa version na ito, unfinished pa pala.
Nice one! Your kids are truly very talented. And they have the patience needed to create a real work of art. Minsan yun ang wala eh.
People kasi are becoming so used to instant everything (applies to bloggers who want to see earnings after 5 posts na kinopya pa sa iba).
But the best things we really have to nurture wait to see fruition, di ba?
Please tell Alex— she is really gifted! And for her to manifest her talent at a young age, that is really something special…She has the talent, as well as the right attitude to nurture the talent + she has super supportive parents!
Congratulations, Connie!
Bilang ko, apat yung artists. Yung mga bata plus you with your home-making and writing skills at si Speedy kasi Brad Pitt (or graduate na ba sya sa pantasya na yon).
BWAHAHAHAHA I’ll show him your comment hahahahaha Hindi na sya ga-graduate sa ilusyon na yan. Forever na yan. Eternal.
