CIRCUIT OF CULTURE ( PART 5 )

Last touch up for our installation art we put an image that we take from our visit and make a black and white slide show and project it as a back ground of our installation art. The image represent the thing and the situation that we can see if we go to the Hakka village. We also put a little sound for our installation like  the sound of crickets to make it more feel like the abandon and lonely place.

CIRCUIT OF CULTURE ( PART 4)

We start to do our installation art. We collect all the thing that is will represent the abandon. After that we clean the place that we want to use. make it look dark and look like a lonely. We use the carpet as our background and we hang it after that we put all the material that we have collect to the flour it look like real like what we saw in the Hakka village.

The next day we hang the broken chair and the old cup at the same time we built our well using the wire, paper and a tissue paper. we color it with white color. the use of tissue paper is to get the texture of the well, the use of white color because we want to project the image of the well to it.

We want to make our installation in black and white because it represent the memory of the place, the thing that has been past and we still need to remember it because it valuable. Other than that we also put a live flower at the middle of the place. The flower represent the hope although the place is old and abandon it still have hope, the hope from the villages that want the village to not being destroy. Other than that the flower also represent there is still a people staying there although the place are abandon and lonely.

There is one thing that we do is we put the wet soil below the installation art. The function of the soil is to make a smell like the place are a long time abandon. At that place also we put a wood to make a smell of the wood because from what I saw almost all the house there was made using the  wood and when I go inside the house I can smell the wood.

CIRCUIT OF CULTURE  ( PART 3)

We do another visit to Hakka Village to get more picture for our installation art. We go to the house that is I think the most scary and have a lot of thing that we can make an installation for our project.

After all are ready we do another discussion about the installation that we want to made. We think of the village and we feel like the village was abandon and I think the place need someone to preserve it from destroy. The village have something that is unique that we need it in the future.

Therefor we decided want to make an installation about the abandon, we want to bring back the Hakka Village to the studio. first we need to identify the suitable place for us to do an installation. The place should be dark because we want to represent the abandon place.

In our installation we want to show that what we see now and what really happen in 100 years before this. We put all the thing that it look like abandon like the dry leave and all the thing that is broken. As we can see the thing that is for us is important was the source of the water therefor we decided to put the well as one of our installation art because we saw each of the house in Hakka village have the well.

CIRCUIT OF CULTURE ( PART 2 )

Make a visit to Hakka Village to look and feel the real situation in there. You cannot imagine your self how the condition of the village and you also cannot feel the situation in there. As we know the Hakka Village is the old town it almost 100 year and the population was the old people. When I go there I can feel the lonely, abandon, scary and a feeling of afraid.

Some of the house there was empty but still have a good structure and I notice that their house was built with nice arrangement, the house are built close to each other. And one more thing that I found at Hakka Village was each of the house have a well, I think all the village get their water supplier from the well.

When I go there, I notice that at the village there is a lot of dog barking at us. It feel like the villagers don't want to any strange come to the house or the village to take their village. They use the dog as their protection.  

We also go inside I think three house that is abandon and I can feel the creepy in the house. The house look like  has been a long time  be abandon. Some of the house look nice from the out side but when you go inside the house you can see and feel the feeling of creepy. The most interesting part in the house that I saw a old well that is a big tree grow from inside of the well. It show how old and a long time the house has been abandon.

CIRCUIT OF CULTURE ( PART 1 )

Culture means the cumulative deposit of knowledge,experience, beliefs, values, attitude, meaning, hierarchies, religion, nations of times, roles, spatial relations and the concepts of the  universe.
we have choose one place for our next task we chose Hakka Village because for me it look like have a culture that difficult for us to find it at another place.

The Hakka villagers claim that their village is more than 100 years old. They trace their history right back to 1860. Most of them came from Hui Zhou, China, and were brought here by the British to work in the tin mines. They settled in a village in Mantin known as kampung Attap because of its roofing. Today the same village is known as kampong Hakka. They have a temple Tokong Tan Gong and a school SJK Chi Chi Mantin, both with a hundred years' history. But now the condition are different, there is alot of change compare to before this.

CURATORIAL ISSUES

A curator is the person responsible for a specific collection in a cultural heritage institution ( such as an archive, a library, or a museum ). The curator specializes in  a object relevant to the collection and is deeply informed about the content it contains. This person is responsible for selecting material to go into the collection like writing documentation, reports, and catalogs that describe the material like overseeing its maintenance and preservation and often performing other activities such as publishing research on the collection, arranging to meet with researchers who want to use or learnt about the collection, and other activities. A curator may be a librarian, an archivist, a historian, or hold an advanced degree in any of a number of subjects.
 For this curatorial issues we do a visit to the Publica and visit all the gallery in there. We can see all the arrangement of the art work have the difference arrangement in all the gallery.

After look around and enjoy the art after that one of the curator at the gallery came out and introduce her self and she explain about what curator do and she also told us that if u want to be a good curator you need to do a visit to other gallery and saw how they arrange all the art in the gallery. To be a curator you also need to know the suitable place for the art so example the art that need more light and which art that need a bigger space. She also told us that to be curator you cannot learnt at the collage or any where it a gift for you to be a curator you just need a chance to polish your ability and it no need a curator background to be a curator. when you be a curator there need a paper work and the most important is the idea how you want the gallery to look like. Other than that the budget also play an important part to push our creativity, the huge budget you have the more creativity thing you can do.

DRAWING PROCESS

After the first visit to the SUHU Gallery for the first time now we do another visit to the same place to see the tutorial about the drawing process. At the SUHU Gallery we are teach how to make a realism drawing by Dr.Hushinaidi. He told us the type of the brush and the pallet that we should use for the drawing process. He said that when we want to use the brush to we should think about the suitable for the drawing and our comfortable to use it. Other than that we also can use other thing to make the effect to our drawing like the role for painting. The drawing will give more feel when we make it with variety of effect. Other than that he also share with us why he use the wood as a pallet. He said that when we use the wood the color will not mix to other color that we use before this. when we use the usual pallet, when the color are dry it will mix with the new color and will effect the color that we want to use.

Drawing Process 

Last week we do some trip to SUHU gallery, at there we was expose to what we should do when we want to start drawing. Firstly we were given a description about how we can get idea from the picture. We are told how the previous artist do a research to gain the idea to make a drawing, mostly they do manually like print a picture and scanning the picture. Today we do not do things like that to gain an idea, it looks like waste a paper because we need to print and do a lot of thing but now we just take a picture and do some editing in the software that provided for us and we can get better result.

When we want to make a drawing we need to do a preparation like prepare the frame which we will put the canvas on it. To make a frame we need a accurate measurement and angle to make it perfect and will form a shape that we want. Mostly the angle for the frame is 90 degree and the length of the frame depend on the size of our drawing.

After we have the frame we need to choose the type of canvas that we want to use that is suitable for our art. Painters working with a variety of type of paint. Each type of paint require a specific coating. There are three type of canvas, oil canvas, absorbent canvas and universal canvas. Oil canvas is intended solely for oil paint. Absorbent canvas are intended for tempera and the universal canvas are suitable for both oil paint and acrylic paint.

After finish the explanation about the material that we use to make a frame of canvas we go to another side that have two practical student do their work for the Nando's competition. They are need to make art base on Nando's therefor one of the student do art by combine two ways of art one is manual and another one is digital.


He make the poster of Nando's chicken because the base of Nando's food was chicken therefor he make the portrait of chicken and he also put the crown at the head of the chicken to show that chicken was the important part in Nando's food. After that he make the eggs of the chicken using the 3D printer and glue it at the bottom of the portrait. The purpose of this eggs because he said that chicken will laying eggs and will produce more chicken for the the company.

Task 1 : Introduction to Museum, Gallery & Heritage 

Last few week ago we held a visited to national museum and international Islamic museum. We went there by car and we need to have our own camera to record or take a picture as an evidence for our research. We also do some discussion after the visited. In our discussion we need to pick one of the artifact that we see at the museum and make our conclusion about what we see and why we choose that thing.

This is some picture that I take from our visited:

International museum Malaysia

In here the most interesting thing that I found was the Sepili & Moyang Figure. The Sepili figure is an object of worship which is use as a medium to transfer the disease from patient in "Benisoy" ritual, a traditional medicine system of Jah Hut. Similarly the Mah Meri use Moyang figure in their traditional ritual through "Sembuang" "Ancak" or "Sampan" . These figure are carved from pulai or tutor trees as an intermediary in healing ritual. 

This artifact was the symbol of the believe our Moyang before Islam come, they belief in something that can make they healthy by use Sepili. Other than that the made of this Sepili was the most interesting for me because the size of this thing was small and it look cute.   

International Islamic Museum

From the second place I found this pierced steel alam was the interesting thing for me. Pierced Steel Alam was from Safavid Iran and it is found on 17th century AD / 11th century AH. I choose this thing because I interested in how they making this kind of art. as we know the materiel of this thing was made by steel and it hard to make it. Other than that it also shows us the Islam has come to this place. They also make the weapon from this steel and as we can see the design of this steel also very interesting and very detail.

THE UNDERSTANDING OF MUSEUM AND GALLERY

The concept of museum 

From what I understand about museum is a place where we can see the artifact from all the world  and it have their own history and description about where and why it look like that. From the museum also we can know about the history of something that we want to know more clearly.

The concept of gallery

Gallery is the place that we can see all the thing either it old artifact or new. In gallery we can see something new in every exhibition they held. 

MUSEUM 

• Artifact
• proof of history
• Archaeologist research outcomes 
• Artifact exhibit for acknowledgement

GALLERY

• More on exhibit work
• Commercial purpose/ not
• research outcomes
