In the task two, I was inspired by the park near my neighborhood, I tended to observe the plants and facilities in the park. I used watercolour, pastels, crayons, coloured pencils, acrylic, and iPad to illustrate the patterns. 

    When I was walking in the park, I found out that there were so many interesting elements that I can use for this task. Most of the patterns were based on plants’ shape and the texture of them, for example, the first two pictures described the shape and the leaf’s texture of pine when sun shine on it. Another interesting discovering was I found a kind of tree that grew eye shape patterns naturally, I used this while I was create patterns which should be     obvious in my blog.

I enjoyed the walking in the park, but I was not satisfying with the works I have down, one of the reasons might be I was too familiar with the environment in the park, so I cannot find new point of view of those sights. Hope next time I could down better. 

In the task one, I did not choose a very specific theme, I just looked around, and paint the interesting objects down. I used all the painting tools I got in my home to present multiple texture of objects, and the vibe of different drawings. 

My favourite drawings are the second one and the third one, these two painting were both inspired by a café. When I was drawing them, I enjoyed the atmosphere of that café, the coffee and cake was tasty, and the decoration of the café also had unique style. I drew the two pictures with happiness and passion, and I was very satisfied with the results, both were created by electronic equipment–my iPad, it was convenient for drawing outside of working table.

This was a fun project for me, I love to play with colour, though I had to think what I can draw every day, that was the only problem during this task.
