art ubud day 4

I woke up and quickly took a shower to get read yfor our last night in this fantastic esp . I took the same usual pancake breakfast with orange juice. This time the pancakes were awesome. We went to the hotel lobby to see our artist for the day, Ms kerry. She i was there to help and instruct us for drawing rice feilds. We went for a 10 minute walk to reach the padifield , but it was not as tiring. We observed on the colors and how the padi leaves were shaped to get and idea for our sketch plan. We were at an organic cafe which was fantastic ,espicialyt the lemonades. Me and my friend brian decide to draw normal tress wit ha padi background. I thought it was really interesting . I thought AI had a good sketch and labeling them with Kerry's special technique of sketching. Her technique was that you have to apint the darkest sketch first then the next darker sketch, then you sketch the lighter one.

Afteer a good experience in the padi fields we went for lunch at "waroeng enak", with respect, it was the worst meal i have had in this trip. Snce the meal was very plain and the meat did not have a good taste, but the desert was nice. After our lunch we headed of to Ms. Kerry's gallery to make our sketches into painting. They maybe had a small gallery, but beautiful paintings were everywhere. I started off with a good sketch and then I started to paint my sketch . It started out well, bu then I realized ms bammi was right we should apprceate the artists because tehy were patient and made extraordinary paintings. Mine turned out to be an average 8th grade apinting which I expected but it could have been better.
After painting , we all said bye to Ms.kerry for a wonderful workshop.
Aftert the workshop we went for some shopping around ubud, tat's where i bought a backscratcher which i love.      

After shopping, i went to the internet afe to chill and relax because we were suppose to meet up 2 hours later. We went for dinner at the best restaurant in the trip. BEBEK BENGIL!! Fried duc, yummy yummy!!! Everyone in my table hated it except for me, well obviously because I am use to eating this kind of food. After an excellent dinner we went back to the lovely hotel and started packing. 

What a night in a wonderful esp!!!!

Art uBuD day 3

Well i woke up and took a quick shower because i was just 3 seconds away from being considered late!! I had the same old fantastic breakfast which i truly enjoyed, After the breakfast we were on our way to alam sari hotel ( hotel owned by mr.collet.) for a bird walk, so we can experience and see differnt kind of birds. Iur instructor for that session was dewa who had alot knowledge to explain us for the bird walk. There were two sad aspects while in the bird walk. We saw poor ducks been taken away to the slaughter house :(, and we did not get to see the bird watching because we arrived late. As we were heading back to the hotel , we hadto make bird sketeches , i made a sketch of a regular bird and i thought that was one of the best sketches i have ever made. Everyone taught so to.

Then we had lunch in the hotel , it was an average lunch because the food wasnt that hot. After that suprisnily we had an oppurtunity to interact with the birds at the bali bird park. I even had a photo a parakeet. I enjoyed my time there sepicially scaring the birds :P.
The best part was that i got alot of ideas to make make final sketch or painting. I decided to do a better version of my sketch. So from all day to the bird park till six o'clock past thirty minutes. I was working on my sketching . MY plan wat to have a bird sketched hanging on a branch while adding colorful leaves. I also added balinese checkers for my painting,
Once I was done with my sketch , I honestly and deeply thougt that was one of the best art work i have ever made and since tt moment of happiness, i began to learn alot from this trip.

We for dinner in cafe wayan, this time i did not like the food instead i loved it !! espically the prawns and desert. That was truly a good dinner.

We went back to the hotel , to get ready for the last full day of an amazing esp.

ArT UBUD DaY 2

Art UbUD day 2

As i woke up from an excellent sleep, I quickly took a shower and went to breakfast.l The breakfast was nice , but there could have been more variety in cuisine . My favorite dish from the buffet was the pancakes because it had an excellent taste.

After breakfast, we were on our way to a ceramic workshop. To be honest I have really much bad luck in spoiling my ceramic pieces ,so his time I tried to stay in the positive side. When we reached the place, we met a kind hearted lady called Susan because she was our instructor for the class on ceramics. She taught us how to make bizarre looking masks which was really fun to make . MY mask turn out well , I definitely did not expect it to turn out well in fact.After our first piece, she makes us take turns on the pottery wheel where we can make delicate ceramic pots. When it was my turn , It was my second time to use a pottery wheel and in fact I thought mines turned out as one of the best. I was really proud of my work which I did in the ceramic workshops.

After this wonder full part of the day, we went for lunch at a local restaurant which was not bad but quite filling. The banana fritters I ordered were amazing especially mixing it with ice cream and chocolate syrup. After lunch we went to the market to mark on our sketching piece for the day. The piece could be anything involved with a market. I decided to draw a boomerang which I bought because it had exquisite detail, which helped me make a marvelous piece. Besides sketching , I bought really cool things at the market especially the boomerang.

After the drama we had fun with in the market, we went back to the hotel to perfect our drawings. I sat alone in my room as my friend went to play cards with my peers. While i was in my room , I had a sufficient time to perfect my piece. In the end it turned out to be a wonderful piece as i kind of expected.

oUr adoring relaxing time was over , we were on board to a place called cafe lotus. It was a really nice place and it was humongous for a restaurant like that to be placed there. I had " ayam sisit" which was shredded chicken mixd in gravy with rice. It was an average meal but it is good to try something new everytime.

After a nice dinner at cafe lotus, we went back to the hotel . By then all of us were half asleep after a long tired , but awesome day. As i was covered with the sheets of balnket, iknew something fun will await for me tomorrow.

DAY 1 art ubud.

Day 1 of art ubud.

As I was on my way to school, I was excited for this trip because I am an individual who likes art but is not as experienced as everybody else . When i reached school, I hopped out of my car and I easily found my esp group.After our teachers gave us a head count, we went strait to the bus where we are on our way to start a wonderful esp.

We reached the airport and as we were checking in , we found out also that the 7th graders of jis are in the same flight. MY thoughts were that it was going to be one atrocious flight. As the plane took off Jakarta, I was right the 7th graders went crazy. That was honestly the worst flight experience , I have ever had in my life. The were everywhere and they were yelling like crowds in concerts.As we landed we quickly took our luggages and made our way to the pacto travel buses. Our first stop, was a "padi prada"( restaurant). Absolutly wonderful dishes, I had the chicken meal and it was fantastic, and the satay was brilliant. As we all finished our exquisite dishes, we were on our way to the highlight of the afternoon.

"KUPU KUPU", a palce where disabled individuals where taught how to paint. As I walked in to the place, I was shocked that these children were living in pain and yet they make good artwork. If i were disabled, I swear that I am no were close to making paintings like theirs. I was espically pleased to interact with these unfortunate world citizens because whatever happened to them they did not deserve it.

After the highlight of the day, we checked in to a magnificent hotel called " tjampuhan", The accomadation maybe had no televisons , but beautiful furniture. We went for a wlk around the hotel and it was something new to me because I have never been to a hotel so much involved with art, so I was really pleased.

We all had our time in the hotel and now it was time for dinner. Dinner in a place called " three monkeys". I thought the food was average , but the desert was fantastic. Fo desert, I had sorbet and i love sorbet because it is really sour compared to other deserts .

After dinner , it was bedtime. I thought i had wonderful day and a brilliant start to an interesting esp.
