C L A R EP-P-PEPPERONI is my art blog in which i blog about: My inspirations, art works, views on certain issues, experiences, etc. Yes, my name is Clare and no, i am no professional artist, just one who simply enjoys doing art. Without art, my life will lose its meaning and i will be square, so if you feel something sharp jab you, it probably means i haven't been doing art. Just kidding. |

Light as sand
8:49 AM
Sand animation
This sand animation really touched me, at the end of it the first thing i dwelled upon wasn't her amazing skills, but the story line of World War II.Adapted from Youtube: First, the couple falls in love. Then the radio says war starts and people are scared. The guy goes to war, the girl cries. And a baby is born, a new life, then she recieves a letter saying he is dead and the sorrow ages her. She is then transformed into a monument to unknown soldier - grieving mother. The final scene: mother and child look at the vision/reflection of father (sailor) in the wondow. It's so sad how fragile our lives are, and how unexpected life may be. Sometimes, things do not go as planned, and we feel hopeless, but we have to learn to treasure what we have now and be glad things happened, instead of being sad they are no longer around. Any thing might happen tomorrow, it may be happy, it may be heart breaking, but all in all, we have to accept it and move on. This video taught me to treasure every thing i have now. Which is why, when i play with my camera, i like to take everyday items, like biscuit tins, my pets, my family, my friends, the roses in my garden, etc. Because you'll never know what might happen the next moment. After watching this video, my artworks (non curriculum) that i do now, are largely based on recording my life, or what i miss in my life. Because to me, life is very important, especially the people and things around me, because they make up who i am. Even if i were to be gone from the surface of the earth tomorrow, I know for sure that through my artworks, people will know what i've been thinking and feeling, my likes and dislikes, my wishes, etc. I no longer draw meaningless cartoons of animals or someone tripping or just a cartoon, instead i draw a cartoon version of myself doing what i feel like doing or what i did. My friends and family, sometimes my favourite toy or a flower. Basically, everything i treasure now and wish that things will stay the same and not change. But things will still change, the world never stops turning and we cannot stop change from happening. Labels: inspiration |
