Madam Mastura Abdul Rahman, a senior lecturer from the Faculty of Creative Multimedia (FCM) at Multimedia University (MMU), was recently invited by the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur to lead an art workshop titled ‘Kolaj Dalam Gubahan’. The one-day workshop was part of Balai Seni Negara’s programme in conjunction with ‘Pameran NUSA’, an exhibition of artworks in the collection of the National Art Gallery.
The workshop was attended by 20 participants from various backgrounds, and Madam Mastura was assisted by five FCM Foundation Students: Ang Li Ying, Azura Anak Sebarang, Lee Qiao Lin, Mughdo Nushin Muniyat, and Nur Hidayah Ayeshah Binti Abdullah. The workshop focused on organic and geometric shape composition, using a monochromatic colour scheme and collaging with batik on canvas.
Madam Mastura’s expertise as a practising artist and senior lecturer in the FCM department made her the perfect candidate to lead the workshop. She also shared insights into one of her artworks, which is part of the National Art Gallery’s collection, with the participants. This workshop is a great example of the collaboration between academia and the art world, and it highlights the importance of sharing knowledge and expertise across disciplines. We hope to see more of these collaborations in the future.
