The BVA students of JD School of Design organised one of the most anticipated end-of-semester displays of the BVA23 batch. Mr. Pradyumna P. S. was in charge of presenting the wonderful event. It showcased the immense talent and efforts the second-semester students put in for the display of their projects on Design Fundamentals and Drawing Fundamentals.

Aiming for Excellence

This exhibition primarily represented the student’s development in basic drawing skills, material exploration, and observational abilities. Pointing out themes such as composition, the event allowed students to express notions learned in school through a practical application that employs the basic design principles. The goals were clear: growth in drawing ability, experimentation with many different tools and materials, and enhanced observational skills leading to an increased ability to represent the world around them in an accurate manner.

Creativity and Skill on Display

The end-of-semester display was a rich display of all projects, representative of the hard work and creative effort that went into it by BVA23. This display is comprised of the following content:

• Outdoor Sketching: Students presented sketches capturing the essence of their outdoor observations, thereby exhibiting their ability to transfer real-world scenes onto paper.
• Detailed Study of Organic and Inorganic Forms: This section included meticulous drawings of both organic and inorganic subjects and brought out the minute observations of students.
• Geometry and Perspective: Illustrations under this category showed the grasp of geometric principles and their application in perspective drawing.
• Design Journals: These journals offered a view into the students’ creative process—from concept to final execution.
• Human Anatomy and Muscle Study: Detailed anatomical drawings proved knowledge about human anatomy structure, mainly the muscles.
• Foliage Study: The section includes detailed studies of different kinds of foliage, thus evidencing observational skills and abilities in capturing the details of plant life.
• Shadow Box: Projects that used shadow boxes brought out a relationship between light and texture, making them visually appealing in composition.
• Interaction of Multiple Lights and Interactive Tactile and Visual Textures: It was an innovative category, allowing students to experiment with light and texture with the use of RGB interactive lights for visual dynamism.
• Research and Representation of Works by National and International Artists: The students represented their perception of the works of famous artists. Their work showed that the students could understand, break down, and replicate various art forms and techniques created by different artists.
  

Skills and Knowledge Demonstrated

The various projects reflected the wide-ranging skill and knowledge base of batch BVA23. The detailed drawings, foliage studies, and 2D to 3D model extrusions evidenced technical skill. It further elaborated their versatility as budding artists in visual note-taking, perspective drawing, abstract composition, and material exploration. Colour theory and psychology and the ability to maintain detailed journals showed a comprehensive outlook towards design.

The end-of-semester display is a mega success that has provided a great platform for BVA23 students to exhibit growth and achievements in the field of graphic and communication design. The program has spoken much to the dedication and calibre of the students and the effectiveness of the BVA program in chiselling future artists.
