做個兼職設計師

幾年前,機緣巧合之際,開始第一次教自在人生自學計劃入面嘅一個美化家居課程。相信好多人都認識呢個專為婦女而設嘅計劃,由政府,公開大學同一D社區中心或者教會合辦;目的當然離唔開鼓勵市民,特別係退休婦女或者主婦、新來港人士等有個持續進修嘅機會啦,最近連男生都收埋,好熱鬧。

不知不覺間,眨吓眼,斷斷續續咁已經踏入第三年教學生涯。

原本諗住係工餘時間以外,一方面認識多D冇利益關係嘅人,平衡吓生活 :D,另一方面又可以將自己熟識嘅室內設計知識同同學分享吓。初時以為已經係成人嘅同學們都係係咁意,柴娃娃搵D嘢學吓,消磨吓時間;不過真係估佢哋唔到,大部份同學唔單只唔係玩玩吓,好專心甚至好認真咁抄筆記,都令我幾意外......即係我都唔可以hea 教,要認認真真啦 :P

另外最有意思嘅係,有唔少同學係我嘅長輩,初初聽佢哋叫我一聲"老師",真係有D"唔敢當"嘅感覺;而老實講,或許真係因為係老一脫人,大部份都好有禮貌,令我突然搵番失落咗好一陣子嘅"尊師重道"感覺,好珍貴!

你估係課堂上最多人問嘅係咩嘢問題吖?(截至2017年第三個學期止)

第三位:做個升高嘅地台儲物,你話好唔好呀?!
第二位:你覺得地面做瓷磚定係木地板好呀?
第一位 :究竟牆身油漆好定貼牆紙好呢?

呢幾條差不多係我嘅必答題 :D

短短幾年間遇過唔少類型嘅同學,同埋亦親身體會到一般用家其實最關注嘅裝修疑慮;每當我見到佢哋因為學會一D新知識又或者我為佢地解答咗疑團嘅嗰種神情,感覺好滿足。特別係佢哋係完成生平第一次繪畫平面圖嘅時候,眼前一個個既驚又興奮,好似返到小學生時期嘅佢哋,真係好可愛。所以不經不覺間,我亦將更多時間投放係教學當中,我諗,係時候份正職要轉兼職啦!

由於呢個計劃,老師全部算係義務性質,所以人工或者講成車馬費更適合。加上我係遊走較偏遠地區,真係"車馬費"唔慳得,所以身邊大部份親朋戚友其實唔多支持我此舉.....不過有樣好,就係設計師總係有佢哋嘅"固執"哈哈!而佢哋都知我份人,就係咁,2018年應該會遊走於五個地區三個課程當中,享受並重新學習"為人師表"呢份"正職",期待!

It began with STAEDTLER

Staedtler Triplus fineliner
Around half years ago, one of my student gave me ten numbers of these Staedtler Triplus Fineliner, simply because she learned from my lesson about 斷.捨.離 (a method invented by a Japanese of how to organize your stuff and refresh your simple life/mind), which had to be proceed prior to re-design the interior of her house...as a result, they are the "useless stuff" that needed to be cart away from her place.

At the very beginning, I just used them as another writing tool, but one day, I had another idea, how about this....

 I started to draw on some of my aging illustration board, well, it seems it's yellowish tint did match with these too blueish liner; so I drawn another one...

...finally, I've got a series of landscape, ha ha :D 

They were put aside in my drawer for a while but one day , I had another idea, again...what if I edited these image by Photoshop to become these...





Digital editing from blue line drawing
It looked amazing, just added a lit bit of mysterious, which suited our Twilight Zone series in Cocoa Grocery...so, another day, what I thought is...metamorphosis!






 



 Here is what I've finally got as my wish !
