UCU@25

Hello, I am Paul, a student of Uganda Christian University (ucu) currently pursuing a bachelors degree in industrial fine arts(BIFA).  This blog is meant to act as building block in Research for my academic Project in painting under the theme 'UCU@25'. As the university draws close to her silver Jubilee, I intend to create a study of Uganda Christian University's architecture and Iconic personalities. I intend to show some of the technological and cultural variables experienced in this learning environment over the last two and a half decades.  I believe that two art movements will be crucial in executing my projects, that is; constructivism and cubism. Just image the vice chancellor's portriat executed in cubism. Media I intend to use; oil paint and Linseed oil as a vehicle. Surface; canvas. Materials; paint brushes and palette knives, oil paint, acrylic, newspapers, magazines, wood glue, water colors, ply wood. Leave a comment below, thank you.
