Hamzanama
THE ADVENTURES OF AMIR HAMZA
The module began with the introduction of the book 'THE ADVENTURES OF AMIR HAMZA' which narrates the legendary exploits of Amir Hamza, or Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib, an uncle of Muhammad. Most of the stories are extremely fanciful, "a continuous series of romantic interludes, threatening events, narrow escapes, and violent acts". The Hamzanama chronicles the fantastic adventures of Hamza as he and his band of heroes fight against the enemies of Islam.
After the introduction and reading a few chapters of the book we were divided into groups of 2 and assigned one chapter each from the book. we were supposed to read and therefore make sketches based on the chapter.
Sketches
Below are the sketches made by us in the first week.
After drawing out the sketches and understanding the chapter through them, we moved on to making an installation based on our sketches.
Our sketch was powerful and one feature mainly stood out was the sword and its movement.
Based on that we aimed to make an installation based on the swirling movement of the sword.
