The Contemporary Drawings themed ‘Dimension 100: Space and Time’ in conjunction with the 100 years celebration of the establishment of Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia

Abstract: This paper presents four drawings with the theme of ‘Dimension 100: Space and Time’ from the final year project of Bachelor in Art Education (with Honours), Department of Art and Design (JSRB), Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI). This theme was chosen in conjunction with the 100 years celebration of the establishment of UPSI. The project criteria required students to produce series of drawings which related to the given theme as well as to creatively explore the new mediums and techniques that could bring ‘changes’ to the practice of drawing studio innovatively. This paper focuses on four students from the major of drawing studios who have carried out the studio practice research through three main phases, namely the development of ideas, the process of producing work, finally, and finally, the presentation of work. The findings found that the students have successfully synthesized the themes into the production of four contemporary drawings in the form of experimentation works which are crossed disciplines of science, performing arts, music and dance, photography, videography, and digital through the latest technology influences. The virtual exhibition was held online using the Artsteps platform. These works are the artifacts that can reflect the uniqueness of UPSI’s art teachers as the number one educational university in Malaysia.
