Sculpture / Prof. Madya Ramlan Abdullah

The final assessment studio sculpture was held this year February 2021 in which for the first time was conducted online method 100% through on screening assessment. Students of this major are in the street to create art works. It is a 3D art area to exhibit online the complete works with high expectations. The theme of this semester’s student research goes to a variety of ideas and thinking processes. It literally means to break the frame of thoughts and implies an open mind breaking the fixed thinking and behavior pattern, including stereotypes. In the era of pandemic Covid-19, the theme is not simply hilted to the studio project. It is a keyword to encourage students who come up with tangible art works with ideas to have autonomy and bounded by different materials types, sizes, designs or abstracts. Final semester students start in September 2020 work up at home having classes online from various parts of their hometown. They undergo several trials and errors, abandonment, choice and concentration during the creative process, from the initial idea to the completed works. It may have caused competitions and psychological burden under the environment (Pandemic) where the students from different backgrounds and states work isolation by at their own studio/home setting to produce artworks. On the other hand, it may have been an opportunity to show his or her ability and to foster fellowship and individual spirits with the students/lecturers sharing the whole process of discussion, presentation and critic session facilities by the online classes. All research works and artworks were good samples to read the possibility as students with personality in the aspects of completeness technique and topic.
