Right now I am still surviving in the Industrial Attachment! It was rather slack for me in the first week. I will be doing drawing for manga arts for students. I have to edit their artworks, and digitise them. Firstly I will have to scan them and then trace over. It may seem easy. However most of the artworks are from primary school. So it would be rather that you see more erased marks than pencil marks. I have to differentiate between which are the lines they drew. I have to do the drawing for two classes, roughly 50 artworks. Some of the artworks are funny, while some seems repeated. Most probably both of them are sitting beside each other. The kids drew Spongebob Squarepants, Plankton, Robots, Pokemon, Birds, Ninja Turtles and even Naruto. Imagine them a primary 2 kid drawing Naruto! Some even drew one weird looking monster, with 3 eyes and 3 legs. Some of the time supervisor will come by, and see what drawing was I doing. We would be laughing at what wacky ideas the kids have drawn. :D

The environment there was quite relaxed. I don't really have to be at on time all the time, although must be reasonably be in time. I am working from 9AM till 6PM. Today I was the second to arrive, so you can see that not much people are there. The office have roughly 12 people. It looks like a SOHO (Small Office Home Office) workplace. The staff lounge and office is at the same room, so you can actually see a pool table being placed in front of the admin office. Beside it was the pantry area, lots of food for you to eat. We are allowed to eat and work at the same time. One of the mates over there, her drawer was full of tidbits! During lunch they will drive around to look for place to eat. I get to know new food hideouts. The lunch was somehow adequate, though no specific timing. Since it is situated at Bukit Timah, so travelling around do take time.

By Thursday I have to get to schools and help students to teach them do claymation. If you have not know about claymation. One example would be Wallace and Gromit. That was the first claymation I watched when I was young. It works the same as stop-motion, but this time with the use of clay.

I will start to get busy once these schedules are out every week. There will be times that I have to rush to two schools in the same day. This job requires a lot of 'always-on-the-move' work, which is what I like most. Most of all, you got to love kids! You must know how to handle them when they come by sticking around you. :D

Lets hope everyone will be doing fun at their workplace! :D Posted by Purity And Simplicity at 23:08
