Contextual Studies 3- Comedy Research

                  Honestly I was terrify when Mr.Charles say :

"Okay, next week you

 guys prepare a comedy 

individually!"

               

               Crap, I said to myself. I was never make someone laugh on public speaking before. Many questions pop out to me, and the most dynamic is 

"What if no people laugh?!" 

                 If that ever happened, I think my face will be like this:

                 Then, my self-awareness aware that if i wanna do really good job on this assignment, I'm going to do some serious research.

This is his stand-up comedy video.

            After I enjoyed his-style of comedy, I had to admit IT WAS SO 'SYOK' LISTEN TO HIS COMEDY!!!

            He oftenly used his own experience as a point of comedy, when he say from his point of view, it was so true and funny. So, what is learn from Harith: You must able to understand your own joke, only that you can make people understand yours.

               Rowan Atkinson, I always couldn't remember his name, and throughout sometimes i confuse Rowen Atkinson with Robert Pattinson, ha ha. Rowan Atkinson was more familiar to me as Mr.Bean! One of the hero of my childhood. He has been grown up with the young generation, but when we had grown up, he is old. It was quite sad for me, because i thought he will always be with us as Mr.Bean. This make me realise nothing can be preserve forever. But yet, our heart, our spirit always remember him, Mr.Bean. His spirit will never disappears inside our heart. 

             So, I research about him, I found out that his facial expressions is the key of his hilarious. And also the black comedy , the ego thing about his role make Mr.bean so stupid. The Stupidness successfully make everyone entertained.

2-dimensional design - self portrait .

Before...

After...

              The story of this post begin with our Mr.charles lecturer. He taught us about some movment of art and history of art. So, this eventually lead to my hand-made self portrait. I used some 'used material' to complete this unique task, well the outcome was satisfy to me.

            And then of cause in my portrait, i combine some art concept, like renaissances portraits and politic portraits. As you can see, the spaghetti sticks symbolise light that seem like so errogant. Its inspired by those dictactor like Alexander the great, Mao Zedong and Napolean.

 

             I used some concept of Pop art in which the color look very clear. 

Materail I used: 1. Spaghetti sticks

                        2. brown rice

                        3. small rice

                        4. dry leaves
