Speak 'n' Tell - A Poem by BamBam

Share with me your thoughts of burden and I'll do what I can to ease their weight. 

Speak to me the words you dare not say out loud and I will listen, but most of all I will hear you. 

Share with me your dreams and I will dream them with you. Taking a fantastic journey through a world yet to become reality. 

Tell me your fears and I will attempt to squash them from your mind, and though not shining I will be your suit of armor. 

Share with me your shame and I will help you embrace it, to see the learning in it and overcome its hurdles.

SCHOOL PROJECTS - STRUCTURAL DRAWING

Hey, Wadé here..  So I kinda disappeared from the face of the earth the last few months. Well, to be exact, I went back to school full time at Humber College taking the Design Foundation program.

It's been a chance for me to brush up on my skills in drawing and design, and I've been LOVING IT!

I decided to start collecting some of the more interesting pieces throughout the semester and posting them for you to see. I'll group them by course, to give you a sense on the direction of each class.

In this first post, I'll cover my Structural Drawing class, which basically teaches you to draw objects in perspective.

Many of the subjects were objects we had to draw sitting in front of us in the class. We always had to include all our structural lines demonstrating how we saw the perspective, as well as two smaller initial sketches in the top right corner of what the object looks like from top and side angles

Other drawings were conceptual objects we created out of our imaginations!

Nuit Blanche 2012

On September 29, 2012 the Ghetto was once again lit up with our second unofficial Nuit Blanche projected installation.

Our theme this year was science, specifically genetic sequences. The title 'Toronto is in my DNA' came from Dennis, who will be building his own DNA-inspired art project in the near future.

The finished piece was very pleasing and the night was amazing to experience so many great installations throughout Toronto. We were so happy to once again be a part of this great event!

Check out the actual animated video from the night below..
