Assignment:- In your sketchbook,
assemble ten (10) images, books, films, or even music/songs that provide a
history and context for your current work or interests in art, animation and/or
gaming, whether as a practitioner, viewer or player/participant. Choose works
that are important to the way you think, and just as importantly, works that
inspire you in ways that you can’t always perhaps put into words. Reach back
into your childhood (where you may perhaps find some unexpected sources of
inspiration) and look around you to collect some contemporary resources. (This
assignment is particularly well-suited to a digital sketchbook, like a Tumblr
or blog, but as before, if you are posting content that is not your own, please
cite where you retrieved each image with a link.)
Serendipity is the
word which I want to use for this course, this course is scanning my mind &
I am taking out time for this course from my busy work schedule, some conspiracy is there for sure.
I used my instincts
to do this assignment & it was very difficult for me to go back to my
childhood & remember the things which I think inspires me for my current
work. Nevertheless it was adorable & go back to your childhood &
remember the things.
My inspirations in a
chronological order(best tried, though it was difficult to write only 10, if
given chance I would have written more) :-
1.) Donald Duck:-
Donald Duck was my favourite cartoon, I never missed its show. My Aunt gifted me a Donald Duck on my b’day, I used spend my whole day playing
with it & named it “Chima” took care to give it a fresh look. When its
clothes were no more, wrapped him in ribbons to cover it.
2.) Book:- For my best performance in fancy dress competition, I
won a book named “Why do Animals sleep through winters”, This book contains
beautifully painted scenes of the story which fascinates me & it tells you
a concept of Hibernation. Whenever I hear about “Hibernation” that cute bear which
I saw in the book comes before my eyes.
3.) Acting:- I
was very active in co-curricular activities at school whether it was dancing,
painting, singing, acting etc. In 6th standard we participated in a
skit based on corrupt policeman who is lazy & skit showed a scene of a
street where you can find a beggar, balloon seller, ice cream seller etc. I
played the role of a beggar attired in an old kurta pajyama (with patches all
over, to give it a look of beggar). I enjoyed that role and was complete into
the feeling of a beggar & understood the state of beggar.
4.) Mother’s day gift:- The
syllabi of our school used to consist moral science books till 7th
standard, I gave a look to all my moral science books & digged out images
& used them to create a beautiful story to show gratitude towards mom for
her selfless work, even though I always prepared a beautiful card for mother’s
day but this book always inspires me for my work.
5.) Handwriting:- I was one of the naughtiest student at school
& was carefree, never gave attention to anything, similar thing was with my
handwriting, I had a very bad handwriting & was always asked to write with
pencil instead of pen, and my other classmates used to write with Pen. It was
enough to encourage me to improve my hand and write beautifully. I dig out few
cursive handwriting books which were in my syllabi in my lower classes and I
never practiced them, it was the time now, & I don’t remember the moment I
improved my hand & got a “+1” remark for handwriting from my English
teacher “Jain Mam” stating that “Prachi has improved her handwriting.” I was
like “when I improved, even I didn’t took a notice of it.”Name of that book was
“Time to Write” & I can never forget those edtitions which improved my hand.
6.) Bharatnatyam:- Bharatnatyam is the classical Indian Dance of Tamil
Nadu which is performed by a group of Dancers, I participated in Annual Day and performed a group dance of Bharatnatyam and
came to know about the culture of Tamil Nadu & the dance is inspired by
Lord Shiva.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on
kittens
Bright
copper kettles with warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with
strings
These are a few of my favourite things
Rangoli is a beautiful pattern which is created by
Indian ladies on Indian festivals, especially on diwali. Me and my brother are
also very fond of making Rangoli on Diwali & never miss it.
9.) Beethoven’s music:- When
I heard Beethoven’s music for the first time, the Rhythm of the song was rising
and falling at different times and when I tried to draw straight lines on a
piece paper I was forced and the music didn’t allow me draw straight lines and
it made me draw uneven & zigzag lines, that I came to know that music plays
a big role in art. The waves which comes out of the piano or violin makes us
better in art & we get connected with ourself. You don't where you are
when you listen to the music.

10.) Virtual Reality:- I gave a presentation on virtual reality after reading info related to Virtual Reality sprawled on internet & came to know about it plays a vital role in our life be it is entertainment, Army & our day to day life.
