Departments / Exhibition on Famine, Zainul Abedin
« on: November 23, 2015, 02:53:11 PM »
•Zainul Abedin created his famine painting set, which were exhibited in 1944. The miserable situation of the starving people during the great famine of Bengal in 1943 touched his sensitive heart very deeply.
•What he did was not just documented the famine, but in his sketches the famine showed its sinister face through the skeletal figures of people fated to die of starvation in a man-made difficulty.
•The artist depicted this inhuman story with very human emotions. This drawings became iconic images of human suffering.
•This particular brand of realism combines social inquiry and the protest with higher aesthetics.

What the role of architecture museums should be is to be thought in our country too. Our national museum need to address this issue. Recent Shadhinota Stambha museum is very contemporary in this sense. Waiting for Liberation War Museum inauguration, that will be something very inspiring!

Visual art includes all the fine arts (drawing,painting,sculpture,printmaking etc.) as well as new media and contemporary forms of expression such as Assemblage,Collage,Conceptual,Installation and Performance art,as well as Photography and film-based forms like Video Art and Animation,or any combination thereof.
•Classification of visual arts can be divided in two ways:
1.Based on content or theme-
i.Abstract art
ii.Art with content
iii.Art without content
iv.Humanistic art
2. In general-
i.Fine art
ii.Design discipline

Faculty Forum / ELEMENTS OF ART
« on: September 14, 2015, 10:20:41 AM »
Elements of art are the basic properties of a work of art that may be perceived through the senses. In a painting, for instance, the properties that may be perceived through our senses
1.Rhythm of line
2.Shape
3.Massing of forms
4.Space
5.Light and shade (tone/value)
6.Color
7.texture
This is in most cases the order of their priority, not in absolute importance.
•A form must be defined by an outline, and this outline, unless it is to be lifeless, must have a rhythm of its own
•The massing of forms, space, light and shade should be considered in close relation
•Mass is solid space, light and shade are the effects of mass in relation to space
•Space is merely the inverse of mass

Student's project / Nature of study
« on: September 08, 2015, 03:06:48 PM »
The nature of study in the Department of Architecture is different from other departments. The practical classes are project oriented. A project is introduced with specific focus/ objectives. Students work and consult with the teachers, they analyze by sketching, making model etc. The lateral learning from senior batch is very important so they are encouraged to discuss with others. In this process they develop their critical thinking power.

Student's project / Learning through model making
« on: September 08, 2015, 02:59:41 PM »
Learning through model making can be an important tool. Students made model of 'Church of light' in their 'Luminous Environment in Architecture' course and analyzing it. They analyzed through drawing and rendering techniques.

Faculty Forum / Basic Model-making Workshop
« on: September 08, 2015, 01:03:49 PM »
For visualizing and communicating the design, model plays an important role. The quality of a model depends on the methods and techniques followed. The first impression of a design transcends through the visualization. So, it is very important to have a good idea of the model making process.
Organizing model making workshop is very recent demand. To keep pace with the ongoing trend, we invited some model making instructors from BUET who are very qualified in this area. The department organized a two day long basic workshop, where all the students cheerfully participated. It was a great experience for the students to enrich their ideas of the model making process. This experience will be shared by the senior students to the newly admitted and the overall quality of the department will uplift.
The workshop was conducted following the participatory and problem solving approach. At first they were given a problem and they solved it by themselves and the outcome was astonishing! Five models of different structural systems were made and presented towards t

Tessellation
A tessellation of a flat surface is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps.

       
In architecture, tessellations have been used to create decorative motifs since ancient times. Mosaic tilings often had geometric patterns.[4] Later civilisations also used larger tiles, either plain or individually decorated. Some of the most decorative were the Moorish wall tilings of Islamic architecture, using Girih tiles in buildings such as the Alhambra and La Mezquita.
Tessellations frequently appeared in the graphic art of M. C. Escher; he was inspired by the Moorish use of symmetry in places such as the Alhambra when he visited Spain in 1936. Escher made four "Circle Limit" drawings of tilings which use hyperbolic geometry. For his woodcut "Circle Limit IV" (1960), Escher prepared a pencil and ink study showing the required geometry.[71] Escher explained that "No single component of all the series, which from infinitely far away rise like rockets perpendicularly from the limit and are at last lost in it, ever reaches the boundary line."
Tessellated designs often appear on textiles, whether woven, stitched in or printed. Tessellation patterns have been used to design interlocking motifs of patch shapes in quilts.
The honeycomb provides a well-known example of tessellation in nature with its hexagonal cells

Water color is very popular technique in wet media painting. In HUM-102 Art appreciation course students get to know about this technique. The DoA organized a workshop on Basic Water color techniques on 6th September, 2015. Mr. Sk. Md. Rezwan, lecturer of DoA was the instructor and students practically worked on different techniques i.e. wet on wet, wet on dry, tonal variation in landscape, dual color blend and edge definition etc. At the end of this workshop the white board of the classroom turned into colored board by student’s project.

Departments / Natural color
« on: August 30, 2015, 03:02:52 PM »
We always see the color in nature as a form of flower, leaf, fruits, clay etc. This color was an important source of drawing in ancient times. with the development of artificial color we almost forgot the very source of color. So in my art I tried to create color from nature and used it in painting which can be termed as 'organic art'. I used yellow flower, violet leaf as color and hyacinth root, petiole as brush. See the result in non-edited and edited version.

Departments / Learning from nature
« on: August 30, 2015, 02:48:19 PM »
Participating in a course on Landscape at Bengal Institute. Currently working on a workshop where we observed nature very closely and tried to find inspiration to design. I worked on tree buckle. A surface of a Raintree holds numerous life under its buckle, which is changed naturally. It grows up with lots of life with it for example, ants, mushrooms, creepers, fungus etc.. I got really mesmerized seeing it. I tried to create this idea in a designed module which can attract other life form. So I placed it on a barren land where no grass is grown hoping that few days later life will be attracted and it will become green again.
