Sketches: Srishti School of Art Design and Technology

I started studying at Srishti School of Art Design and Technology, Bangalore in July 2010. After a month at Srishti, I got a Scholarship offer from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and hence I am currently studying in the School of Art Design and Media at NTU. The sketches you see below are from my time in Srishti.

Assignment for Srishti: Mumbai: My City

Mumbai Rains

Inspired after a long time: witnessing the first rains while sitting in a rickshaw.

Mantri's Don't do Mornings!

For some reason I woke up early, tried to draw my mom, and the house at this time. Morning life is different in its pace and in its progression, maybe that is why I DON'T DO MORNINGS!!!

Bird Watching?!?

There was this pigeon that had laid an egg at my window, while studying every time I paced in the room it stared at me as if I was some predator about to attack it. It's unnerving stare kept moving with me as I paced from left to right, after a point I left my book and just kept walking to see how it reacted to me sans the foreign object in my hands. It still appeared to be afraid, so I got my sketchbook and painted the pigeon, when I got back to the room after finishing the sketch it was gone. I feel bad that I threatened it in such a manner, maybe it was watching me, more than I was observing it.

How Can I Contribute?

Some Old Work: Origami: Vishaka

Size: roughly 80 by 80 cm

Medium: Paper and folds!

About: My name, "Vishaka" means the star that

shines the brightest in the entire universe... so this

great stellar dodecahedron is just a representation

of my name.

Some Old Work: Our Struggle For Independence

Size: 50 by 100 cm

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Box Canvas

About: Just wanted to have a pictorial representation

of Indian History to make it a little more interesting.

Some Old Work: Life In Fragments

Size: 125 by 145 cm

Medium: Acrylic Paint and Texture White on Plywood

About: This painting sprouted from the Gestalt view:

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"

Also with this painting I tried to depict poverty,

and how although it is just "one part" in our "whole"

world of problems it still adds up to the "sum".
