Image Making for Storytelling through progressive creative approach that incorporates the ideas of self, signs and symbols.
The image making exhibition showcases the work of Communication Design students. The project is designed to equip students with the ability to use various elements of an image such as space, form, and structure to communicate emotion. Gradually in the project: 'Image Making for Storytelling' through the progressive creative assignments, incorporates the ideas of self, signs and symbols along with inputs on colour perception and techniques of print-making to represent more complex narratives .
Students spent a week learning the fundamentals of printmaking. They studied and practised carving and printing using sunboard, lino sheet and MDF board.Students had to carve their drawing as a mirror image, which was then rolled with ink and pressed upon paper. The techniques applied clarified the negative and positive space of an image and how its manipulation can innovate the visual experience.
Works of master artists are also interpreted using a different medium. Many interesting explorations came out of this, paintings were recreated using material like cloth, rope, paper, papier mache, cardboard, cellophane sheets etc. The intention was to empower students to relook at material and its applications building their skills of craft and composition.
