1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,240 Welcome to Students Incorporated. I'm your host, Mr. Jason. Join me weekly as my team 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:14,340 and I produce content that's informative, positive, fun and uplifting. This podcast 3 00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:18,480 is created and produced with the help of students from the International Community School of 4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,060 Bangkok. In today's episode, it's quite different from our normal format as we'll be taking 5 00:00:24,060 --> 00:00:29,160 you along on our field trip. If you remember from one of our previous episodes, episode 6 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:35,120 71, we had the privilege of interviewing Ms. V. Chanita, a well-known abstract artist and 7 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,840 advocate for the arts here in Bangkok and now internationally as well. Originally, we 8 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,080 were going to interview her at her studio downtown. However, we weren't able to make 9 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,160 that happen at the time and instead hosted her here in our studio. And now we got the 10 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:53,440 green light to take a field trip to her studio. And that's what we're doing now. By the 11 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,480 way, today's episode is sponsored by the ICS Connect Club. The Connect Club's aim is to 12 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,280 serve communities and schools throughout Thailand, especially areas in and around Bangkok. So 13 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,320 thank you to ICS's Connect Club. And now please come along with us as we get on our bus and 14 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:14,840 get situated for our drive. We'll be bringing you our quote of the day, reading some headline 15 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:42,240 news and offering up some other chatter along the way. 16 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,880 Our quote of the day comes from B.B. King, American musician and singer, songwriter. 17 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,280 He's quoted to have said, 18 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,280 The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. Learning 19 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,640 is a cultivated skill, not an innate talent. It demands time, effort and dedication to 20 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,920 develop a strong foundation of knowledge and the understanding of what you hold today. 21 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,240 While the process of assembling this knowledge may seem arduous, its true value lies in its 22 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,840 permanence. No one can take away the fruits of your labor. Instead, they can only admire 23 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,280 your achievements. Ultimately, knowledge is the cornerstone of a successful life. Hard 24 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,520 work is essential, but without knowledge, that effort lacks direction and purpose. And 25 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,800 that's our quote of the day, now autism outrageous field trip stories with Mia. 26 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,240 Thank you, Frank. And now for some outrageous field trip stories involving animals brought 27 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,800 to you by the good old internet. Our first outrageous school trip story is titled, The 28 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,060 Stowaway. The user submitted a post that states, In fifth grade, we went on a field trip to 29 00:02:45,060 --> 00:02:50,460 explore some historical sites. On the way there, the bus started to smell funky. After 30 00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:54,820 about 15 minutes, everyone smelled it and was trying to figure out what happened. The 31 00:02:54,820 --> 00:02:58,860 bus driver eventually pulled over because he couldn't take the smell anymore, and a 32 00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:04,920 teacher looked around the bus only to discover a skunk directly under one of our seats. Now, 33 00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,320 our second outrageous school trip story is called, Where's the Penguin? The user submitted 34 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,600 a post that states, My cousin went on a field trip to an aquarium. The trip was great, but 35 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,540 when he arrived back at the school, he started to act strange. After a good amount of prodding, 36 00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:25,800 he opened up his backpack and out popped a live penguin. This kid had straight up smuggled 37 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,520 a penguin from the exhibit. His mom called the aquarium to tell them what was up. They 38 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,560 didn't believe her. She says, Count them. The lady at the aquarium put her on hold for 39 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,860 a few minutes and said, How fast can you get him back? And finally, our final outrageous 40 00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:47,760 school trip is titled, Pooh at the Zoo. During a tour of the exhibits, a student hurls a 41 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,480 stick down into the gorilla habitat and lands near an adult gorilla. Without hesitation, 42 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,120 the angry gorilla throws a stick back like a tomahawk at the boy. The stick hits the 43 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,960 boy in the chin. More gorillas make an appearance and begin to scream at the school group. The 44 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,860 orangutans on the other side of the trail have now joined in the commotion, yelling 45 00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:13,920 and screaming. Gorillas and orangutans launch volleys of feces at all the students. Thirty 46 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,160 minutes later, the zoo has indefinitely banned the school from returning, and the boy is 47 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:25,160 on his way to the hospital for five stitches. And that ends the news for this episode. 48 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,280 Thank you for the quote and for sharing those outrageous school trip stories. One thing 49 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:48,360 for certain for our field trip is that we won't be visiting a zoo or an aquarium. Like 50 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,400 I said earlier, we are on our way to Kung Beach Anita's Art Studio. Check out episode 51 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,520 71 to hear her story. I'll pass the mic over to Mia so she can get a sense of what some 52 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:05,520 of our other teammates are doing.

Hello, please introduce yourself 61 00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:11,420 and tell us what you're excited about on this trip. I'm Camden and I'm in 11th grade and 62 00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:16,700 I'm really excited to be here today because I haven't been on a field trip in so long, 63 00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:22,660 probably since elementary so it's just a really cool experience. Hello, please introduce yourself 64 00:06:22,660 --> 00:06:28,700 and tell us what you are excited for on this trip. My name is Micah and as a graphic designer 65 00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:32,620 I'm really excited to just see the art and get maybe more ideas from like what I can 66 00:06:32,620 --> 00:06:39,620 do abstract for the podcast. Yeah. Good question Mia. Now let me give our listeners some facts 67 00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:44,260 about the city of Bangkok since we are driving in street right now. First of all, Bangkok 68 00:06:44,260 --> 00:06:50,760 became the capital of Thailand in 1782. Second, Bangkok full ceremony name is the longest 69 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:58,340 name in the world. In the Thai name, it consists of 169 characters and when translated to Roman 70 00:06:58,340 --> 00:07:06,900 alphabet it contains 163 characters. Thirdly, the Red Bull energy drink was originally created 71 00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:15,380 in Bangkok in 1976 before it was taken globally by an Austrian business partner in 1984. Number 72 00:07:15,380 --> 00:07:20,900 four, Bangkok is built on canals and used to be referred to as Venice of the East. Many 73 00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:27,820 of those canals have been paved over and Bangkok. The city is sinking at a rate of almost two 74 00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:35,060 and a half centimeter per year or one inch. Number five, Bangkok saw over 28 million visitors 75 00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:42,380 in 2023 making it a global tourist hotspot. MasterCard crowned Bangkok as the world most 76 00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:47,900 visited city. Number six, if you like street food, Bangkok is the place to come and try 77 00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:53,820 it all. Famous dishes like Pad Thai, Som Tam, Gan Kiew Wan, Khao Nia Mamuang and chicken 78 00:07:53,820 --> 00:07:59,660 satay and so much more. And number seven, finally, the best time weather wise to visit 79 00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:04,980 Bangkok is between December and February when the weather is cooler and not as humid. Of 80 00:08:04,980 --> 00:08:09,260 course, that's when a lot of other tourists comes as well. And there you go. Some facts 81 00:08:09,260 --> 00:08:14,020 about Bangkok that you may or may not have known. Thank you. All right. Looks like we're 82 00:08:14,020 --> 00:08:19,380 here while the driver is attempting to park on this very small soy. Here's Toto. He's 83 00:08:19,380 --> 00:08:41,820 got a PSA for this episode. 84 00:08:41,820 --> 00:09:00,460 Now that we've exited the bus and walk into the studio, which is down this other narrow 85 00:09:00,460 --> 00:09:04,820 street, I'd like to point out the most Bangkok streets, the streets that are not the main 86 00:09:04,820 --> 00:09:09,420 highways or roadways are narrow and quite hard to navigate with the car, let alone a 87 00:09:09,420 --> 00:09:15,460 medium sized 27 passenger bus. Anyway, we are here now. Koon Beach Anita studio is named 88 00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:20,800 Chani D Art. Make sure to check it out on Instagram according to some photos or videos 89 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,220 of our venture today. The account is at students incorporated. 90 00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:36,220 Yes, I'll give you a tour. Okay. Yes. I think I think I'll tell you my story first. Okay. 91 00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:44,620 At first I was blinded then as you know, and then I tried to like practice my artwork and 92 00:09:44,620 --> 00:09:51,420 then I stopped and I have my child. And then I come back like seven years ago with the 93 00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:58,060 portrait painting. Can you show them the painting? Oh, yes. I remember you talking about this. 94 00:09:58,060 --> 00:10:04,300 Yes, right. I want you to see the beginning of my abstract. You can see you want to see 95 00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:23,780 it. Yeah. Have a seat guys. Yeah, you understand. Yeah, that's my style at that moment. As you 96 00:10:23,780 --> 00:10:33,300 can see, it's not the realistic abstract painting because I think I key on color and the color 97 00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:42,900 that show how I feel about that person. So I paint portrait with more colorful. And then 98 00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:49,000 after that, like two years, I have the solo exhibition. After I decide that because my 99 00:10:49,000 --> 00:11:02,500 work is changing time to time, like it's become more realistic, which I like it, but it's 100 00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:14,500 not what I really want. I want to see more about myself inside, not the realistic that 101 00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:20,380 what you see and then you paint. So I stopped paint portrait. At that point, it's like very 102 00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:31,460 important to me to stop something that I already achieved for one step, right? It's like I 103 00:11:31,460 --> 00:11:39,060 have to decide that I have to stop and then begin with the blank canvas. Okay. Okay. I'll 104 00:11:39,060 --> 00:12:09,020 show you upstairs. I don't want to work like too hard about 105 00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:16,900 the concept and yeah, I just like, I have enough exhibition at that time, so I need 106 00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:27,940 to rest. So it's become more work. You know what I mean? And then after that, I work with 107 00:12:27,940 --> 00:12:39,380 abstract work for two years later. And then I decide that people come to me by Instagram 108 00:12:39,380 --> 00:12:46,460 because every time I paint, finish painting, I put into my profile and Instagram and people 109 00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:53,620 like come to me and then they come to my house. So I think that it's not a good idea to let 110 00:12:53,620 --> 00:13:02,980 people come to the house. So I open here to show my work and then I start like selling 111 00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:11,900 and then gallery come and they contact me and then I become like people know about me. 112 00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:15,980 Regarding like commissioned work, are you doing a lot more commissioned work than you 113 00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:21,580 used to or do you have any kind of work that you're focused on like just doing your own 114 00:13:21,580 --> 00:13:30,540 work and then trying to sell that? Yeah, actually I don't recommend the commissioned 115 00:13:30,540 --> 00:13:38,140 work for expressionist artists because when I work, I work with my inner side and what 116 00:13:38,140 --> 00:13:45,660 I think, how I feel, then watercolor and stroke, it's come because of me, only me. When they 117 00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:50,700 like the painting, they like the finished one and sometimes they say like, oh, I want 118 00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:56,260 this but in like different size or something like that but I don't recommend it because 119 00:13:56,260 --> 00:14:06,700 I can do like, I can do but I don't think that you may not like it at that one. Like 120 00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:11,020 you have twins, you're not going to love like two person in the same time. 121 00:14:11,020 --> 00:14:17,140 I understand. Rebecca's got a question. Just a second. Let's report that. 122 00:14:17,140 --> 00:14:21,700 How much is your painting average like the size of painting? 123 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:33,700 I don't know if she will want to say. The price is like rising up because it's not 124 00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:39,340 depend on me. It's depend on who holding the painting, the gallery you're with and 125 00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:48,940 you sell the painting like overseas and right now it's like four years, it's up. Right 126 00:14:48,940 --> 00:14:59,900 now here it's like 120 by 150, right? How much? It's 180,000? 127 00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:04,500 180,000. Like this one? 128 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:05,500 Yeah. 129 00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:10,460 Like this one? Yeah. 130 00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:11,460 Like can this cover you? 131 00:15:11,460 --> 00:15:16,540 Highlight, can you ask how long some of these paintings take? 132 00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:20,340 Yeah, for sure. Oh, is there like a recent artwork that you would be willing to share 133 00:15:20,340 --> 00:15:23,060 with us with or is it all mostly recent? 134 00:15:23,060 --> 00:15:27,660 Okay, I'll show you how I start. 135 00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:29,780 Yeah, or like what's your process? 136 00:15:29,780 --> 00:15:30,780 Yeah. 137 00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:32,780 That's a good idea, right? 138 00:15:32,780 --> 00:15:37,460 Yeah. Like maybe this one? 139 00:15:37,460 --> 00:15:47,740 Like this one, like I told you that 2023 it's my like resting and stay inside because like 140 00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:57,740 2021, 2022 so many exhibition and I use my like my energy a lot. I want to get back to 141 00:15:57,740 --> 00:16:05,180 myself and see how I have inside like how is it now and what's it going to be after 142 00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:14,220 like so many chaos. So I went to, I take my son to New Zealand, who came from New Zealand? 143 00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:15,220 Anyone? 144 00:16:15,220 --> 00:16:16,220 Anybody from New Zealand? 145 00:16:16,220 --> 00:16:17,220 Where? 146 00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:18,220 South Island. 147 00:16:18,220 --> 00:16:31,580 Oh, that's good. Because I went to South Island and I booked the camper van for 11 days. I 148 00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:32,580 told you guys. 149 00:16:32,580 --> 00:16:33,580 You can tell it again. 150 00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:44,220 Yeah, so it's like, oh, it's like nightmare to like have no back at all. And I prepare 151 00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:53,580 everything for the camper van and like ski trip, but I have nothing. So I like so mad 152 00:16:53,580 --> 00:17:02,980 for many days. And then I realized that, oh, what I gonna do? I my mind, it's stuck with 153 00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:10,780 that, that back that I don't know where is it. So I decide to, okay, let it go. And then 154 00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:17,100 I paint about the New Zealand and I have the series called Necessary Unnecessary, which 155 00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:19,140 is there, the big one. 156 00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:20,140 Yeah. 157 00:17:20,140 --> 00:17:27,900 The painting that's really cool with the color and layers and like very thick layers. This 158 00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:42,020 one is very light and more less less. But you know what? It less but you can see more 159 00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:51,260 clearly every line. It's have a meaning and have the power into the painting. I mean, 160 00:17:51,260 --> 00:17:55,740 if you you have the very small line like that, in like this painting, you're not going to 161 00:17:55,740 --> 00:18:05,860 see it. Right. But if you like take it less, everything is more important. So this one, 162 00:18:05,860 --> 00:18:08,060 the silly necessary unnecessary. 163 00:18:08,060 --> 00:18:13,740 Sorry, this is this one sold. Where is it shipping to? 164 00:18:13,740 --> 00:18:18,900 I'm waiting for the clients that to take it because it's very big. 165 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:23,100 Is this the biggest one that you've done so far? Or is there larger one? 166 00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:26,020 The larger one right now is 400. 167 00:18:26,020 --> 00:18:27,020 400. 168 00:18:27,020 --> 00:18:28,020 400. Yes. 169 00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:29,020 May I ask a question? 170 00:18:29,020 --> 00:18:30,020 Sure. 171 00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:33,460 What's usually your like inspiration when like making paintings like this? 172 00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:35,500 Yeah, life for you. 173 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:36,500 Necessary, right? 174 00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:42,900 Yeah, necessary. Because I think that when we think that we need something, and we need 175 00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:47,340 like more and more and more because you can pay, because you can prepare, because you 176 00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:52,380 think that you need it, you think that is necessary in your life. But actually people 177 00:18:52,380 --> 00:18:55,820 can live less, but we never try. 178 00:18:55,820 --> 00:18:57,820 What's the thing? 179 00:18:57,820 --> 00:19:06,980 Yeah, it's the same thing that when you think, you need to think, or maybe you don't need 180 00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:13,780 to think about it. You know what I mean? Just pick the important thing that you really need 181 00:19:13,780 --> 00:19:16,980 it, necessary or unnecessary. 182 00:19:16,980 --> 00:19:23,100 Let me ask you a question to add on. How do you pick out which is necessary, which is 183 00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,100 unnecessary? Do you have like a set criteria? 184 00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:29,020 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good question. Because at first I tried to like paint like 185 00:19:29,020 --> 00:19:36,540 a minimal or something, I tried many things. And I think this is not me. It's not me because 186 00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:47,140 what I need is like line. I key on line and stroke. I feel satisfied when I do it because 187 00:19:47,140 --> 00:20:00,020 I love drawing. So I stop like put the layers on. I just drawing and like you have to do 188 00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:07,380 a lot of experiment to get like the point that the painting it's become you feel okay 189 00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:08,380 with it. 190 00:20:08,380 --> 00:20:15,860 And then you were saying like so often it's like more of an experiment, right? Like you 191 00:20:15,860 --> 00:20:18,860 try something and it doesn't work. You try something again. I was wondering like for 192 00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:24,460 like an average painting, how many drafts does it take? Or like how long does a painting 193 00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:25,460 take? 194 00:20:25,460 --> 00:20:31,540 Like how long, like how many months do you take to like finish a painting? Or like how 195 00:20:31,540 --> 00:20:36,180 many times do you like fix it? Or like, what does that look like? 196 00:20:36,180 --> 00:20:42,820 Oh, if you if we talk about experiment, it's I cannot tell because you have to try and 197 00:20:42,820 --> 00:20:48,060 try and fail and then try again and throw it away and just like upside down and put 198 00:20:48,060 --> 00:20:57,860 the white on. It's depend on how it's come out and you feel, how do you feel? Yeah. But 199 00:20:57,860 --> 00:21:05,180 after that if you like have the technique, the concept, it's already like good enough 200 00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:11,180 for you and then you work on it. And then you can see it's different and more different 201 00:21:11,180 --> 00:21:16,500 and sometimes it change on the way along the way that you work. It's not going to end. 202 00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:21,500 It's not nothing end. You know what I mean? I can see my work change a lot. 203 00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:25,700 Like it's a living part. It's a living, it's growing. 204 00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:31,280 Yes, it's like, it's like, it's like us sometimes we think about that and then another day we 205 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:37,660 like process something and then we think another way. Yeah, right. But my painting is like 206 00:21:37,660 --> 00:21:44,760 finished in the one time. I mean like one day because of expressionism. I need to see 207 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:54,300 it now. How many pieces have you done in the series accessories so far? 208 00:21:54,300 --> 00:22:03,020 A lot. Oh yes, not much. I think maybe 20 right now, 20. But I have only few left. But 209 00:22:03,020 --> 00:22:08,420 I'm still doing more this year because I like it. Yeah. 210 00:22:08,420 --> 00:22:11,820 Do you have any more other themes that you're currently working on? 211 00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:18,300 Yeah, yeah, right. I'll show you. Okay. I think downstairs. Is there anything else upstairs 212 00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:21,940 that we could possibly like explore from other themes? 213 00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:27,300 Yeah, just like that one. That one is my experiment for necessary and necessary. You can see the 214 00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:36,820 different thing, right? You can see the difference. But that one is gave me idea about lines and 215 00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:45,220 marks. But I don't have anything else in there. So it's like, okay, I got it. When I finished 216 00:22:45,220 --> 00:22:50,540 this one, I think I got it. So I keep it. But I'm not selling this one because it's 217 00:22:50,540 --> 00:22:56,060 my experiment and it gives me idea. You know what I mean? 218 00:22:56,060 --> 00:23:04,140 Yeah, that's good. And then you work on it. Work on it. Put the things in and then back 219 00:23:04,140 --> 00:23:12,140 and forth. And then you can see the thing that... Yeah. Amazing. It's coming out. Yeah. 220 00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:14,140 How do you work a lot? 221 00:23:14,140 --> 00:23:16,140 I work at East Mead Artwork. 222 00:23:16,140 --> 00:23:24,660 Oh, because I'm a really large scale painter. So one of my clients, he has a gallery, quite 223 00:23:24,660 --> 00:23:31,500 small. But he loved my work. He wanted me to like paint a small thing. So I think sometimes 224 00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:39,780 it comes out like this. I think that, oh, yeah, maybe I'm talking about small appreciate. 225 00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:45,980 I just think about it. And then I think to myself that with the ego that, oh, small, 226 00:23:45,980 --> 00:23:54,140 it's going to finish in two days. And after two weeks, it's nothing. I cannot work because 227 00:23:54,140 --> 00:24:02,180 the size is different. Scale is different. And I'm not used to work with the sitting 228 00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:10,540 on the table and work because I always stand and use my hand and use my action to work. 229 00:24:10,540 --> 00:24:20,620 It's like different thing. And then one day I see the light come out, come into my studio 230 00:24:20,620 --> 00:24:32,340 with the flower. Oh, yes, beautiful. Okay, I get it. Because when I work, I get in and 231 00:24:32,340 --> 00:24:39,580 then paint. And then I walk away to see the painting. Is that okay? Is that okay yet? 232 00:24:39,580 --> 00:24:52,300 And then I go back and paint. I never see this very small like small brush that paint 233 00:24:52,300 --> 00:25:03,460 over into it. And I never seen because I look so far. So I have to change the, I have to 234 00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:16,620 change how I look into the painting. Yeah, so I put the gold leaf into the painting to 235 00:25:16,620 --> 00:25:25,020 talking about small thing that you never see because it's not, it's not, it's not mean 236 00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:33,500 that it's not there. It's there. But you are not focused to see it. That's my, my works 237 00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:43,100 always come from what I think. And I, and I understand life. You know what I mean? So 238 00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:50,500 we go downstairs? Okay. And the fraud that you see, I'll tell you what the story is. 239 00:25:50,500 --> 00:26:03,260 Like if you see closer, you will see the depth between paint and paint. Yeah. That one, I 240 00:26:03,260 --> 00:26:12,900 work upstairs with the lazy norm. I'm talking about the social media that you guys grow 241 00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:21,420 every day. It's like you see just only a few minutes in the picture or maybe the pack of 242 00:26:21,420 --> 00:26:30,980 the editing and layers of filter and you just it, you feel it, you want it, you want to 243 00:26:30,980 --> 00:26:36,620 become it, you hate it. You got feeling with it. That's only the few seconds of the thing 244 00:26:36,620 --> 00:26:43,380 that you never really know about the story. So this one called nine 16, the laser of the 245 00:26:43,380 --> 00:26:58,140 story. Instagram. Yeah. No, I already sold. So I have only one left here. Yes, right. 246 00:26:58,140 --> 00:27:03,100 And that one's very hard to work because I have to put the lazy norm and then pain and 247 00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:07,220 then put the reason on again and then pain and put the reason on, which is very hard 248 00:27:07,220 --> 00:27:14,420 for me because I didn't use to work with the racing. And then I think the last thing, because 249 00:27:14,420 --> 00:27:22,060 we have only 10 minutes left that the, the painting on the floor. Yeah. As I told you 250 00:27:22,060 --> 00:27:37,940 that I'm really love to paint big, large scale. So one day I think that this year I want to 251 00:27:37,940 --> 00:27:50,580 do something more, more, more free and let myself just do it again on the floor. So I 252 00:27:50,580 --> 00:27:56,980 put the painting on the floor and then some, some, some painting. This one is the front 253 00:27:56,980 --> 00:28:05,180 that you usually see in the art supply shop, the white one with the guests off, but I use 254 00:28:05,180 --> 00:28:15,700 at the back. How, how is, look is, um, because it's not gonna make the paint try, but it's 255 00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:28,860 absorb all the water and oil very easy. So the outcome is gonna like moment and organic. 256 00:28:28,860 --> 00:28:43,500 So I put the painting on the floor and walk on the painting. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun. Yeah. 257 00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:50,420 And then I think about, Oh, what I'm going to tell them that they're going to understand 258 00:28:50,420 --> 00:29:02,260 me. I call this silly is Miller. Why is Miller? Because it's like when, when artists see themselves, 259 00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:13,580 I mean, it's compared with like the painting in front of me and myself. If I feel satisfied 260 00:29:13,580 --> 00:29:23,180 with it, I feel happy to see it. It's like, um, I let myself show to you, you know what 261 00:29:23,180 --> 00:29:37,740 I mean? So some it's like very dark. This one I call sketching because some artists, 262 00:29:37,740 --> 00:29:45,380 they sketch in the notebook, but I, I cannot do that because it's very small. So I sketching 263 00:29:45,380 --> 00:30:00,540 in the, in the canvas. Yeah. That's all. Like I want to show you guys down here. And this 264 00:30:00,540 --> 00:30:10,620 one, I have the exhibition with the art space by Mocha at Four Seasons. It's called silence 265 00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:17,020 and chaos. I love black actually. And this one, if you can see, you can see the chaos 266 00:30:17,020 --> 00:30:24,380 here, and I'm talking about life. When you wake up in the morning, you open your eyes, 267 00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:31,960 things as like come to you, many things to think in just moment that you have a science 268 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:47,420 and be with yourself to speak and you can like, you can live with it. This one pause. 269 00:30:47,420 --> 00:31:04,380 Just pause for a moment. I want to see how different of the every year, how I, how I 270 00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:10,940 feel because I finished I'm thinking about myself, which I believe that people can, can 271 00:31:10,940 --> 00:31:18,140 be born in many times in life is depend that you have to burn your own self and your whole 272 00:31:18,140 --> 00:31:28,980 belief to become a new version of you. So this is like transformation and metamorphosis. 273 00:31:28,980 --> 00:31:36,220 Yeah. I remember you talking about this when we were at the studio. So, but it's fun to 274 00:31:36,220 --> 00:31:41,940 see it in person. Was this the same series as the one that sent her out? Like, no. Oh, 275 00:31:41,940 --> 00:31:46,700 oh yes. But that one, not Phoenix. Oh, the other one, the red one, the Phoenix one. Yeah. 276 00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:55,700 Right. She's big fan. Okay. You guys have any questions? I don't know if it's true personal. 277 00:31:55,700 --> 00:32:07,060 Is there a piece that's like the most meaningful to you? That means the most at home. Of course. 278 00:32:07,060 --> 00:32:16,540 Yes. Of course. Yes. Some most of it, the painting that I keep at home, it's like experiment. 279 00:32:16,540 --> 00:32:25,660 Like some piece is like the first painting of the theory or that I realized and I want 280 00:32:25,660 --> 00:32:33,060 to keep it. At the beginning. Yeah. What does each color represent? Like usually when you 281 00:32:33,060 --> 00:32:38,540 choose the colors. Oh, the color is sometimes it's like, if you want dark color, sometimes 282 00:32:38,540 --> 00:32:49,300 I actually, I love black. Yeah. The color about what you say, color with another person 283 00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:58,380 is different meaning. Right. I see black, I see peace. Sometimes people see scary. It's 284 00:32:58,380 --> 00:33:09,700 different. Right. Okay. I'm here with Maddie. Can you describe the piece of artwork that 285 00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:16,180 you're looking at? So the artwork that I'm looking at is a very beautiful piece. I see 286 00:33:16,180 --> 00:33:24,580 different colors that represent peace and brightness and I really like it. All right. 287 00:33:24,580 --> 00:33:29,780 Hey, I'm here with Joseph and hey, Joseph, can you describe the piece of artwork you're 288 00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:35,380 looking at? This artwork is very vibrant and very colorful. It got like a lot of like different 289 00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:40,620 patterns in it and it's really good. And how does it make you feel? Makes me feel really 290 00:33:40,620 --> 00:33:48,260 inspired. All right. I'm here with highlight and she's looking at a piece of artwork as 291 00:33:48,260 --> 00:33:53,900 well. So can you describe to us what you're looking at and how it makes you feel? Yeah. 292 00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:59,540 So what I'm currently looking at is like this blue, white and pastel blue painting and it 293 00:33:59,540 --> 00:34:05,620 makes me feel very calm and peaceful. It reminds me of cold places such as Iceland and it also 294 00:34:05,620 --> 00:34:12,780 reminds me of like, like peacefulness and times where my thoughts can settle and stew 295 00:34:12,780 --> 00:34:18,940 like at night. So I think it's very creative for her. Yeah. Okay. I'm here with Rebecca 296 00:34:18,940 --> 00:34:22,740 and Rebecca is also looking at a piece of artwork. Can you describe to us what you're 297 00:34:22,740 --> 00:34:30,220 looking at and how it makes you feel? I'm looking at a, at an artwork with full of pink paintings 298 00:34:30,220 --> 00:34:37,100 and purple and these two are my favorite colors and it reminds me of how heaven looks like 299 00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:45,340 in my imagination and I feel like home and happiness are around me when I'm looking at 300 00:34:45,340 --> 00:34:52,180 this painting and it reminds me of the Barbie movie as well. Yeah. Okay. I'm with Premi and 301 00:34:52,180 --> 00:34:56,980 she's our last one. Premi, what kind of artwork are you looking at and how does this make 302 00:34:56,980 --> 00:35:02,380 you feel? Can you describe that? I'll start off by saying I don't think art can be put 303 00:35:02,380 --> 00:35:08,340 into words, but I'll say it's like, there's this like in the top right corner, there's 304 00:35:08,340 --> 00:35:14,140 like this dark pink reddish color and then it kind of transcends as we get to like downwards 305 00:35:14,140 --> 00:35:18,660 more and bottom left there's like just this pale black, but then with like white stripes 306 00:35:18,660 --> 00:35:23,100 all over and everything that just feels so like intertwined and meshed and I think it 307 00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:28,980 makes me feel angry in a way. I feel like it represents really well that like, you know, 308 00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:33,060 there's so many different things in our world that needs fixing and I feel like this just 309 00:35:33,060 --> 00:35:37,660 shows comes together to show like that rage kind of to represent that, but also in some 310 00:35:37,660 --> 00:35:41,980 ways that there is some hope that there is something that we can do and also kind of 311 00:35:41,980 --> 00:35:47,420 like the messiness, the like reality of our world in that there's like so many different 312 00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:51,660 things that are going on at once, yet nothing at all. 313 00:35:51,660 --> 00:35:55,740 Looks like we are getting ready to go now. It's been quite fun getting out of the classroom 314 00:35:55,740 --> 00:36:00,300 and out into the community as a class. We usually only interact with our guests in our 315 00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:05,060 studio back at the school, but this entire process has helped bring our guests experiences 316 00:36:05,060 --> 00:36:32,820 to life for us. Okay, we're leaving now. 317 00:36:32,820 --> 00:36:37,180 Alright hi Elsa. What did you think of that experience? 318 00:36:37,180 --> 00:36:42,620 This experience was one of a kind and I would love to go back to visit her again because 319 00:36:42,620 --> 00:36:47,260 she was so kind. Thank you Elsa. 320 00:36:47,260 --> 00:36:50,980 Hi Camden. What did you think of that experience? 321 00:36:50,980 --> 00:36:54,780 I thought it was super cool and the paintings are really beautiful and so I really liked 322 00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:59,380 looking at them. 323 00:36:59,380 --> 00:37:04,140 Alright hi Esther, our very own graphic designer. What did you think of that experience, getting 324 00:37:04,140 --> 00:37:07,580 to see her artwork in real life? 325 00:37:07,580 --> 00:37:15,380 I think it was a really cool experience to go out to her studio. I really enjoyed seeing 326 00:37:15,380 --> 00:37:22,460 her thought process in the artworks that she's done. 327 00:37:22,460 --> 00:37:28,480 Alright we're here with our very own social media specialist Indie. So Indie, what did 328 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,020 you think of the experience, getting to see Ms. B and also getting to see her studio in 329 00:37:33,020 --> 00:37:36,220 real life? 330 00:37:36,220 --> 00:37:43,140 So as an overview, I really like the aspects of her work and also the abstract design of 331 00:37:43,140 --> 00:37:49,500 it. I think it's really cool how she is very friendly even though she's quite famous. So 332 00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:52,020 overall she's a very nice person. 333 00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:56,860 Alright and lastly Ms. Christine, first of all thank you so much for chaperoning this 334 00:37:56,860 --> 00:38:02,700 trip with all of us. We hope you enjoyed it. And what was your experience like at Ms. B's 335 00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:04,460 studio and how did you think of it? 336 00:38:04,460 --> 00:38:16,260 First of all it was my pleasure and a privilege to join all of you today. It was a very important 337 00:38:16,260 --> 00:38:24,660 and memorable experience because I see the way that something that you learned at school 338 00:38:24,660 --> 00:38:33,100 came to like a real life experience. So I was so happy for all of you to be able to 339 00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:41,700 see how your learning affects real life. And I was so thankful to be able to attend. Thank 340 00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:44,180 you for having me. 341 00:38:44,180 --> 00:38:48,500 Okay now that we're back on the bus and moving, I've got Frank again. Hey Frank, do you have 342 00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:51,900 any last words of advice or wisdom before we sign off? 343 00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:55,180 Yeah I'd like you to take a field trip every week. It's fun getting out of a classroom 344 00:38:55,180 --> 00:39:10,740 together and learning together in this way. You think you can make this happen? Ms. Jason. 345 00:39:10,740 --> 00:39:14,780 As we end this episode I'd like to say a big thanks to all the Students Incorporated team 346 00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:20,240 for coming along on this field trip with me.
