Cheng Shao Meng Merlin
Ingredient for Meow Meow Merlin’s Manifesto

This is the final post for the DMS2 Assignment 2. Here are the things I am using for my manifesto which I will be making on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

1. The speech! (Have been approved of course)
2. 3 A3 size drawing block paper
3. Over 30 piece of A4 and A5 papers
4. Pencil
5. Color/Water-color pencils
6. Watercolor paint
7. An A3 cardboard to hold the piece
8. Some old things from my childhood (paper balloon, paintbrush, color pencils)
9. Colored construction paper 
10. Strings
11. Lots of coffee powder
12. Lots of tea bags
13. Lots of double-side tapes
14. Some duct tapes
15. Lastly… TIME!

The papers has been soaked in water filled with tea and coffee powder beforehand. Now I just need to draw and write the pictures and speech out and pasting them together.

DMS2 Assignment 2 Even More Research

As I get to the making part of the manifesto, now it is time to research on how to make one. Since mine is related to the past, I am using purely only traditional methods (NO computer!). The main medium will be paper.

How to make paper look old:

Link 2

i want to be someone who paints and draw in the computer in the future.

DMS2 Assignment 2 Color Research

Since my manifesto is done from the point-of-view from that of a 6 year old child, the color that I use must be different as well. So to understand better the color relationship with children, I read the following 2 articles.

Article 1

Article 2

To be a child in order to be an adult… Love myself. Love my creation.
The theme of my manifesto
DMS2 Assignment 2 More Research

The manifesto that I am doing will be very child-like and base on cats, one of my favorite animals. Thus this research post will focus on drawings of cats that are simple in nature or resembles children drawings.

They are simple in shape, some of the cat body size are different, some fat, some normal. Also, the eyes are also more simple in shape, having just a circle outline for some.
