Interest

Hi everybody, here comes Motionz Dotz again, presenting everyone an interesting topic - 'interest'. As I have said, my interest is drawing and painting. Besides, I also take eating delicacies as my interest. Interesting? Well, I've said that drawing and painting are important to our everyday's lifestyle, and it needs the foundation of one. If one have talent in drawing, it will also be easier to pick up drawing and sketching techniques. If you are somewhat interested in visual arts, I believe that you will be engrossed in reading the post below as I will be introducing you a variety of art techniques, that ranges from fine arts to abstract arts. But before this, I will introduce you painting's styles. I've learnt some of the painting's styles, such as fauvism and impressionism. 'Impressionism' basically is a style of painting, characterised chiefly by short brush strokes of bright colours in immediate juxtaposition to represent the effect of light on object. Fauvism: Reject traditional renderings of 3D space. It is realistic. Use of pure, intensely vivid, non-naturalistic and brilliant colour, applied straight from the paint tubes. Use whatever colours to express emotions. Next, I will talk about one of the art techniques - 'tonal value'. There are three types of tonal value - Hatching, Cross hatching and Shading. Hatching and Cross hatching use lines to show tonal value, the closer the lines are, the darker the tonal value, and vice versa. I'll skip off to the next interest as time permits.


Okay, hope that you are not getting boring. Guess what? Eating is also my interest. I've posted two kinds of food. Each with their own stories and histories. Foods that are very traditionally made and special in some ways are my favourites. I hate foods that are very commonly seen, such as chicken chop, chicken rice, etc. As you can see, all the foods, that I specially chose and posted, are unique and have long stories behind them. Food is our main source of energy, and without energy, we will unable to carry out physical activities. Hence, it is very important to eat healthily and nutritionally. For example, green vegetables and lean meats are healthier choices. However, eating is not at all meaningful if you are to eat the foods to replenish your energy, but instead, you should think about the long stories behind the foods while eating them.
In my life, my favourite food is actually 'fried wanton'. Talk about this, my saliva is already drooling. For 'fried wanton', I prefer to eat homemade 'fried wanton', which my mother makes. When my mother was young, she was nick-named, 'fried wanton queen'. Well she lives up to this name as her Fried Wanton is simply too delicious. She makes the wanton, using shrimps, wanton skins, minced meats, garlic and black pepper. The garlic and black pepper act as an enhancement to the wanton, making the favours of the wanton more complete. Then, after wrapping the fillings with wanton skins, she deep-fried them. The pleasant scent of the fried wantons dispersed into the surroundings, lingering around my nose. The scent smells so appealing that I am easily tempted to consume them. The fried wantons are of bite-size and the colours look attractive. Well, it's just simply fantastic! From a young age, I am very choosy in foods, but these fried wantons really make my taste buds melt. Eating is a leisure and a kind of appreciation!
