Our Media Studies practical teacher Ms.Fauzia took us to a trip to Mohatta Palace. It was a pleasant and vivid experience. We took a thorough trip throughout the palace analyzing the artwork of various Pakistani artists. Since i have not been interested in Pure Art , i was not able to grasp the full picture of each and every masterpiece. However , help from my Media Teacher resulted in better understanding. We were given pair work to complete in roughly 15 minutes. My partner was my classmate and friend Andrew Jared Dean. We both shared similar views about Abdullah Syed's masterpiece khown as "The Flying Carpet" which consisted of a small carpet made out of US dollars. The dollars were cut down and stapled together to make the shape of a carpet. It was hanging at one corner of the room where it was placed. The creative part was that the carpet seemed to have shapes in it that were either cut down or left out and there were two spotlights from different angles shining at it. The two lights made the two shadows at the walls that were around it and each shadow had different shapes inside it which was really creative.I thought of posting an image as well to show his work.
The holes left open made daggers and weapons on one end and of Minarets at the other end. Abdullah Syed has tried to show that money can either be used for Good or Evil. By showing the US Dollar , he is trying to depict America. His work was unique in his own way that is why i decided that my pair work would be based on this artwork.
I would like to thank our Media Studies Practical Teacher Ms.Fauzia for arranging this trip, as this trip helped me gain a broader perspective of the Media from the artwork of "Media Creators" themselves. I would like to visit such exhibitions in the future.

Above shown: A very very sweet Medina had a sensor. Whenever somebody crossed over the sensor , the recording would begin to play. The recording was about the lives of people back when Pakistan first came into being.
