Projects, projects and projects. Those i started last year will ending soon

end as some friends are knowing me, new are coming soon too

I just can't stand not taking new challenges

but first, what happened and what are the results.
Our school's student magazine (KontraForum) group freezed its work for a year because no one would like to be writer and editor. I was one of the school magazin's designer and layouter, so i started to found another group to save the tradition of having newspaper/magazine in school. It's KontraForum&media. A friend and me started to built up a new infrastructure over internet (news on Internet) and a central projector in school that shows pictures and other medias in the breakes. Our aim is to have a centre which connects every internal organisation and groups of our school, as well external ones like enviroment institution and all- runned by a small and flexible admin group, no one needs to work permantly.
Last month we got our projector (financed with money that my friend and me had won at several idea&creativity contests) and now we need to install a remote system in school's network.
And after that I'll teach a new group (little 5th and 6th grader) how to use our new system of news&information.
Step II would be to reactivate the old KontraForum as e-paper. I've talked with the editorial stuff already and they were happy to hear having a new way to publish works. As well that with that system we needn't permanent writers, only those who like to help sometimes. Step III, building up a wireless LAN system which allows us to use school's network everywhere. For some of you it sounds just normal but you should had seen our school 3 or 4 years ago- it was much more antiquated than now, and with this KontraForum&media project we're making big steps heading to be a even more modern school

I just loving to revolutionate, reform or starting new things

Another project, a film project (my 4th now in that school) is going to its final. On wednesday in Monza, meeting other school from Europe we're having a little competition. I'm really curious what other schools have made. The film should be about enviroment, so we made one- a humorous one

Next month after I'll have updated the Media-portal of the newspage i'll show you the video

as well some other videos we made.
Now to the new project. It's another school project. But this time more a history and informatics project. We have to make a show about computer's history "From loom to IBM"
Tommorow is the beginning of researches.


And about art-class. Well after my 4 paintings (yeah the 4th isn't submitted yet), i'm not sure if i should start anotherone. My teacher is going to start a new topic

this time it's Photography- yeah!

And maybe a bit photomanipulations!
He said it could be "The world behind a fence"- we should think about that topic

can't wait to start

And at home, i think i'm going to practice more facial expression and anatomy of humans. I always refused to draw faces, not to mention full humans or livings besides little birds. But after drawing sceneries and landscapes all the time i thought to try out new things. It's a bit more than a year now i started again to draw (thanks to one of my best friends

) and several months that i began to paint. I learned how to use hatching with pencil than only using simple lines and flat shadowing. The next step was to work in layers. And then to get used to form the objects with hatching than to border and than shadowing with hatching. It's a progressing of getting more free in drawing with pencils. And now i try to use the skill i got in pencil drawings with painting. Because I'm always drawing landscape drawings i could paint really fast those scenery and landscape paintings. My art-classmates are still painting their first paint when i finnished my 4th. It's really this freely forming and working in layers which makes the workprogress very fast. And now slowly i'm leaving the construction of vanishing points out and try to use an experience perspective. The vanishing point area has a radius of 2cm on a A4 so i think it's quite okay.

well...yeah I'm looking back on my progress. And I will summarize the important things in topic pencil drawing. I made once a little tutorial with basic tips, i still showing many friends those little tips and many are really having the feeling to be able to form the landscapes and objects more freely, and shadowing much easier.
