Approved Proposal

Artist: Nik Zainal Abidin bin Salleh
Artwork: Wayang Kulit Kelantan
Year: 1961
Born: 1933
Education: Self-taught

ARTIST INTERPRETATION
In this long vertical composition rendered in the oil medium, the depicted scene is a raging battle that is taking place between the army of Hanuman, the monkey king and the army of Ravanna, the evil king of Lanka who had kidnapped Sita. Hanuman’s army of monkeys is depicted in the process of rescuing Sita, who is depicted in the middle, right hand side of the painting. Hanuman is depicted at the top and the evil Ravanna is depicted with a red face toward the bottom, The tight placement of the wayang kulit characters over each other has resulted in the compressed two dimensional character of the pictorial space. The dramatic facial expressions of the mythic figures, from both armies, adds to the fierce, highly expressive atmosphere of the raging battle scene.

IDEATION
- Users will enter the artwork.
- I would like to create a 3D environment based on the artwork. The environment probably will be a temple and jungle.
- All the environment and design will be in "wayang kulit".
- The color scheme will follow the artist artwork.
- The background music will be the "wayang kulit" music.
- The 3D environment is going to be like an exploration.

TARGET AUDIENCE
- Both gender.
- 15-30 years old.
- Wayang kulit fan.
- Ancient Hindu stories fan.

OBJECTIVE
To give an unique experience to the user by involving them into the painting environment using VR application.

GOAL
- Users experience the new way to appreciation the painting.
- Users can get inside the artist imagination when the artist paint his artwork.

FYP BRIEF

MMR 3033 DESIGN PROJECT 1 Sem 1 09/10
VIRTUAL REALITY

FINAL YEAR PROJECT BRIEF

You are required to create a VR application that applies all of the VR principles and use the
elements of experiential design.

The VR application must be anchored to the creative works of living Malaysian artists.
These 2d or 3d (sculpture) must be interpreted either from the view of the artist or through
your understanding of their interpretation. Your interpretation must be based on informed
knowledge and not just from your opinion or in other words, you must have thorough
background of the artist, his/her style, motives and other relevant materials to support and
justify your interpretation.

The interpretation of the artwork must be realized in a virtual application and must be
designed in a way that it is not only to give information or mere experiencing by
walkthroughs, but must have a high degree of interactivity that is engaging for the user to
experience in a new way.

These living Malaysian artists must have their artwork displayed either as permanent artwork
work or temporary displays in the National Art Gallery. This is to ensure that the chosen
artwork is created by distinguished and well established artists.
You are to present 3 project proposals in order of your preference. The project proposals
must show a clear understanding on the artist, the chosen artwork, the style and the
application itself. The proposals also must be able to explain your target audience, goal and
objective of the project and benchmark.

In addition to that, you also have the option to propose another project (4th proposal) on any
topic that you are interested in. However the main 3 proposals will be anchored to the theme
above.

You will present your proposals on Tuesday, Week 1 (16 June 09) in a professional manner.
Only project proposal that has been approved will be able to proceed to the next stage.
