Any differences in the Penang campus compared to the Sunway one? Anything lacking or are they essentially the same but different building and location

I have been told that they can supply a laptop as a loan and also provide drawing tablet or something like that? What laptop do they give so I do not need to buy my own and save the money on a desktop rig?

When you apply you are asked to have a portfolio

1 still life or landscape in colour, free size

and

1 free composition in any media, free size

the sample they provided looks very good and im worried what I will produce will not up to standard. Do I just show what I am currently able to do? Must it be perfect? how do they judge or do they just want to see what I can do?

first day

First Figure Fundamentals class

started with drawing lines and circles for warm up then we were told to draw the face of person next to me I think it was more of a fun exercise.

Then was shown a slide show on figure basics after it was finished the lecturer said we will do a test. Draw 2 figures sitting on a sofa/chair

Some of them drew as if they have been doing it for years but for me it was my first time 1 of the figure looks cacat!


I hear all the horror stories of people having to stay up late to finish their drawings! omg im scared of that

maybe I worry to much and have too high expectation


p.s. is the student portal down? Im unable to connect to the Penang portal
Sunway can but im not studying there

When are the late night that some people say start coming ? Tomorrow will make it my first week in TOA



I see some students had to retake their year (probably failed) and joined with my class. 1 or 2 of them sleep in class like they don't give a s***!

What are the job offer for MM students?

work in tv studio like Astro, website development, filming??

i can tell you something on amount of workload
you usually get one or two project for each subject

It might not seem like much but each week you develop on your project
first week on your project, brainstorm, get ideas then week 2, 3 start researching, get ideas
the you design your project
then you start to work on it. If you stick to the plan your lecturer gives you you should not have a big problem.


one tip:

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE
trust me I did that once and I dare not do it again

on top of projects you have weekly assignments

everything adds up

grade breakdown
50% project
25% assignments
15% exam
10% professional practice (if u handing late work, tidak apa attitude, skipping class then this 10% will decrease)
