Class Ex B

Group discussion



The above sketch is beautiful done by Ellen. It may look bizarre and weird at first glance (well, you can say all surrealistic works are like this) but if you take a look at the concept behind, it is actually something we all students can relate to. It shows a hand that belongs to a Uni student being drowned by tonnes and tonnes of books and papers (readings probably), and yet his hand is not giving up in reaching out to the A grade that all students would love to have. It kind of depicts the sad life of an Uni student, being too caught up with the paper chase. Have we become like him too?

Class Ex A

This is a photo I would like to talk about, because I really like it. It's beautiful how the hunch of both women's backs are synchronised and their different distances from the photographer created such depth. The back of the woman in the background seems to fit nicely into the front of the woman in the foreground. In addition, I like how the shadow of the trees on the wall seems to be advancing out from the woman in the foreground. I feel that in overall this picture won my heart mainly due to its composition.





However, I would think this photo would be the overall winner instead. This bathing scene may be a common sight in Bali but how often can such a beautiful shot be captured, with the splashes of the four children caught in mid-air and all of which having a profile view. This photo just brings out the vibrancy and joy in those kids having fun playing with water.
