Goru, the Gaumaata!

 Goru means COW in bengali.

On my birthday on Oct 1, I went to feed the cows, I thought why not take a sketch book and try to live sketch the cows!!!

The results came out to be ok...but I can see lack of practice.

Fun Fact: As a 6 or 7 yr kid, when I used to draw a cow, it looked like a dog and a dog would look like a cow. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Lines and Dots Play!!!

What is a point ?  What is a dot ? In design, a point becomes a dot when it has dimension . A point does not give meaning to the space but a dot does define the space . What is a line ? " A line is a dot went for a walk ."- Paul Klee And then lines come together to make a shape . Shapes coming together to make a form that has space and forms coming together to make a structure. I have studied these in my architecture school but the way Kuntal connects with every other aspects of daily life, the study of elements of design becomes more engaging. Very rightly said by him that designing is like cooking, like you add masalas, let it fry, taste, then decide what is lacking, let the veggies boil or cook according to the quality of those veggies. We had to play with lines and dots measuring 35 mm with 2.5 mm thickness and a dot with with 5 mm diameter. Chaula and Shubhra mentored us all through the process of learning composition. We were meeting twice daily atleast daily in our g...

Narrating an eating experience through abstract visuals!!!

Image
Have you ever thought of relating taste and feeling of having your favourite dish to colour(s) or music/sound? Most of us don't even realize that we taste our food by seeing it first , smelling it and then at the end, we finally let our taste buds judge! So, in our first task in composition module, we were supposed to paint our feelings about having our favourite dish thinking about the music or sound we can associate with that feeling. My favourite dish is Chaanar Boraar Jhol: My love! (Bengali Homemade Cottage Cheese Curry without onion and garlic) I am excited about having chaanar borar jhol with rice the moment I can smell the curdling of milk or with just hearing that the milk is accidentally spoilt!!! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!  Never thought of painting an eating experience, but when i got the chance now, i grab the opportunity to create a mini accordion book , putting the love story I have with paneer, especially homemade cottage cheese, which i steal and eat at  ever...

Explore, Experience and Evolve with Colours

My favourite colour is yellow, the moment I see yellow, it brightens my mood though I am not a fan of turmeric milk. Green isn't my favourite colour, but a colour of nostalgia as I grew up in the northeastern part, the greens of the banana plant, the greens of the assam tea gardens enroute Silchar Airport, the green of the decaying ponds(pukur) in Kolkata, reminds me of my childhood memories! I wanted to use all my colours that I bought during my architecture school, so this is a piece where I let myself flow with rotring brown ink and black waterproof ink. This is a piece where I let myself flow with haldi and rotring brown ink with Hans Zimmer's Interstellar's main theme instrumental. Rotring Brown Ink and Haldi with music... Rotring Brown Ink and Haldi Black and emerald waterproof ink I tried to make swatches of colours and some composition... I wanted to use up age old poster colours I started off with black to white. On the left side i was doing something like the dela...
