My first year in advanced artclass aswell as my first year in secundairy school. Teacher's name in advanced artclass just happend to be Hugo aswell. First year at secundairy school i was studying Latin-Mathematics, i liked the math but i hated the latin, i only chose for latin to be in the same class as my best friend. We had artclass in sec. school aswell. The last 3 works are from that class.

First year at advanced artclass, i think this is the periode in which my drawings are getting better. Since it was 'advanced artclass' there was a wider horizon to explore: way more mediums to use and more freedom to do our own thing. The teacher just gave us a basic idea/concept of what he was expecting and the rest was up to us.










' Ship at sea '

This is the final positive print of a negative cutout. we got these lether like tablet(up) and we had to cut out a negative picture, then you put some ink on it and use the tablet as a stamp, forming the positive print(down).









' The Butcher Shop '

so this is an image that is used in a actual calender. We had to make a rhyme and a drawing that had something to do with the rhyme, or the other way around, i don't remeber. I'm not gonna translate the ryme to englisch cuz, doesn't rhymes anymore then, it basically just sounds rubbish in english. But if you really really want to know, you can message me.









' Rock City '

The assignement was like this: there's this beach and for some reason everyone took off real fast, leaving all their gear behind. Someone comes at a scene and he's looking down. Draw whatever he sees and make up a story to link the items in the sand with the reason why everyone left in such a hurry.









' Coloured Villages '


Again a great example of the fact that i can't paint. The assignment was to draw 2 villages and a bridge in between. Every village must be done in a different colour and within the same village you can only use different shades of that colour to paint your houses, trees, people, etc. with. So i chose purple and blue. I never finished the painting completely but i don't think that completing it would have made it any better. This is the worst painting i have ever made









' Glass Window '


Well it's a glass window, done with waterpaint









' Sea Monster '


i most certainly like this one. a coulored sea monster. I dropped my slipper next to it so you might get an idea of the size of this drawing.










' Portait of Lara '

These drawings are made during artclass in secundairy school, i don't remember the name of the teacher, but he was male and had a real long grey beard. The assignment was to draw the person next to you. I got a 7/10 for this drawing. I remember being mad because i only ot a 7, i mean the resemblance was striking (so i thought back then). so this is in fact the very first portrait i've ever made. I'm surprised to see how much it sucks compared to the other stuffi drew at this age...







' Ink and paper '

i like the pattern







' Unicorn '
