Fine Arts and Science Integration

Assignments and project works are the main factors that affects the leisure time of college students. Lecturers think that burdened with workloads students are kept on track, of course, there is nothing wrong in it as opposed to alcoholism, drugs, idleness, etc., and if not for few it may even lead to mental stress and depression.

Fine Arts, is one such module that gobble up the lion’s share of time for the Management Technology (Architectural Technology) students, basically practical orientated, we (students) were asked to come up with our own designs and models of, ranging from paper boxes to sun shelters. To certain extend it gives an opportunity for the students to learn by doing, put the classroom learning’s into practice, besides it also focuses on the presentation skills. It’s pretty much challenging and nerve racking in deed.

With the term coming to an end the projects seem to be more thought-provoking. Students are given a period of three weeks, in which we have to come up with a sun shelter with our own design using recycled materials. It was also made clear that our work progress should be presented every week to the lecturer. The sun shelter that can cast the largest shadow area is going to be the winner provided it should also be the lightest says the lecturer. No sooner, the projects was assigned we rushed to nook and corner of the campus looking for recycled materials; some even hopped into garbage bins. Quite a many of them have collected dried tree branches unfortunately to upset the maids for it piles more residue. Nevertheless, being in-kind wasn’t an option either for we have huge affliction shouldered on us. Day and night so keen and dedicated I along with my friend pursued our sun shelter. Perhaps shortage of materials has a greater impact on our project and in deed the flood in the late monsoon season has favored us a lot.

Three weeks wasn’t any longer, it passed like few hours and before we could really pack-up the due date was right under our nose. Sleepless and tireless we somehow forged on time but nothing was more frustrating and annoying when it broke out at the last hour. So pathetic and pitiful, we tied and joined using several connectors and presented for sake of submitting the project. What so ever it wasn’t bad.
