Fallingwater by Arch. Frank Lloyd Wright

The Fallingwater was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was built over a waterfall.

Although ours does not compare of course to the original, this is how it looks like when our instructor was evaluating the miniature we've made.

Our instructor gave us an activity to make a portrait of houses or buildings from famous architects. And after a couple of weeks after our midterm examination, our class were divided into groups and I was assigned to the group that has made the portrait of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.

It was then that the miniature we were going to make is this. Although, I wasn't really one of those who made the miniature itself since I was later added to their group. I discovered they've already started and I wasn't informed. When I got there, they were almost done and thought what could I offer that only I can do but will benefit the group?

That was when I told them that, "Why don't we put lights in there? and since I haven't paid my contribution yet, I buy what is necessary for this to work." Then they accepted my suggestion. And while they excited from imagining and bickering how it would look like, I was pondering to myself, "Now I don't feel that frustrated for almost doing nothing since I'm a late comer to their group. I felt needed. Hahah!"

Before I installed the lights.

Trial set-up with the lights in place.

This is how it looks after we turned off the lights.

CAPTAIN

On a whim pastel rendering.

The first one I made was Uzumaki Naruto from Team 7 when I was in high school. I don't know what happened that day but before I know it the journal I was holding or resting on my lap was no longer there and that includes the rendered Naruto, since I inserted it there.

This time's artwork was scanned and stored.

Monkey D. Luffy

Captain of the Strawhat Pirate

FRUIT BASKET

My very fist decent render using watercolor pencil.

I didn't know how to do it or more like what to do to make it look a bit closer to the picture I referred with. I tried once but to my dismay it was so ugly I couldn't even dare look at it. I was depressed for moment there then recovered eventually and decided not to make it.

Days have past its due date of passing and new activity was given and I was still like making nothing. Then I decided to watch a video tutorial on how to use a colored pencil. I started sketching the second activity that was given and rendered it afterwards. It did not turn out as good as good as this one but I thought to myself that it was passable. (I think)

It lasted for 2-3 days working my ass on the five activities that I should've have passed days ago.

THE MANNEQUIN PICTORIAL

There’s nothing special about it. I just dressed it up with the cloth that I cut from my short and sew it as a dress, put a white ribbon on it so it wouldn't be too casual. The mannequin that I used was the one that I made a year and a couple of months ago.

The RED BLACK ME

November 14, 2013, Thursday morning, my mom ask my younger brother to look and buy for some bread if there's any, if ever someone started selling a bread again and he declined it saying that there would be no one who'll sell food such as bread nowadays. Then I volunteered hoping there would be one.

I left the house using our mountain bike. On my way to Marasbaras, Tacloban City, I encountered some obstacles such as flood. A very stinky water that came from rivers through canals and I have no choice but to pass there. When I finally arrived at my destination, I was devastated by the fact that my brother was half right. He was wrong for the fact that there's still a bakery open, right because there is no bread left. Pretty disappointed but my journey hasn't ended yet. I decided to keep going. I moved on to check for my friends and their families if how they're getting through these kind of dilemmas. I was getting near but when I saw that there is no way for me to pass I did not go instead I went to my older brothers house to check for y niece then that was the time I realize that my bike's tire is flat, really flat.

It was hilarious and pathetic but my efforts wasn't wasted because I thought of something that would be a big help when I got home.

From Picas, Sagkahan, Tacloban City, I walk with my bike to Utap. I went there for two reasons; first, to ask my cousin for a spare parts for my dads motorcycle and lastly, for some food to eat. I was hungry. I stuffed some food for my tummy then left. I went to my cousins store for the spare parts that y dad needed and then started walking. And by the way I used the other side of the road because there ain't no flood there.  

It was quarter to eleven in the morning, the sun was getting hotter, and I was getting thirstier. All I was praying to God was water for me to drink, even a droplet of it just to conquer my thirst. Then I met a woman who called my name. At first I was confused who this woman is. When she asked me if she could tag along with me, I said, "Sure!". That was the time I ask her, "Do you have some water?" and answered me "Yes!". I was so happy I met her there but when she spoke to and said, "You know what, I was praying to have someone walking along with me then here you are. Thank You Lord!". I was like, maybe we were really destined to meet that time. 

The sun is now exactly above our head and the weather is so hot, like you could fry under the sun. A minute later we were smiling because we could already see our hometown.

Yeah! I'm finally home.

My parents scolded me for taking so long and for looking like this.

This wasn't really what I look like when I got home. This was after I took a bath. I was really toasted when I got back. Funny, 'cause the only thing I could see on the mirror was the shirt I was wearing. And now my skin looks lesser brown than this picture.
