PRINCIPLE OF ART-BALANCE.pptx
This document discusses the principle of balance in art and design. It defines balance as the distribution of visual weight in a composition. There are three main types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. Symmetrical balance involves both sides of a composition being equal or identical. Asymmetrical balance involves both sides not being identical but having equal visual weight through factors like size, color, or texture. Radial balance involves shapes and images being repeated evenly from the center outward in a circular pattern. Examples of different types of balanced compositions in various artworks are provided.
Art Criticism
This painting by Ahmad Fuad Osman titled "Recollections of Long Lost Memories #1" depicts the late Tunku Abdul Rahman and a modern teenager standing in front of a river landscape. It uses monochromatic colors for Tunku Abdul Rahman from the past and brighter colors for the teenager representing the present. The painting comments on how today's youth don't fully understand or appreciate the meaning of independence due to a lack of direct experience with the struggle, as they are more influenced by Western culture. It integrates images from the past and present to convey a message about historical perception versus modern reality.

Still life
A still life is a drawing or painting of inanimate objects arranged by the artist. Setting up an effective still life composition requires choosing a location with good lighting, including architectural elements for direction, and selecting interesting objects to demonstrate value and composition skills. When creating a still life drawing or painting, artists should plan the arrangement of objects, sketch the composition lightly, add value gradually to define shapes rather than using hard lines, and aim for a full range of tones. Proper drawing position and taking time to plan the composition before rendering details are also important tips for developing still life works.

Drawing, Painting and Printmaking
Drawing is a familiar artistic medium that uses basic materials like pencils, pens, and chalk. It can be used for preliminary studies, illustrations, self-expression, or as a final work of art. A wide variety of drawing techniques exist using both dry media like graphite, charcoal, chalk, and wet media like ink. Artists experiment with new approaches and purposes for drawing.
Paint
Paint is a solution or suspension of pigment in a binder that is applied as a thin layer to surfaces. It is used to protect, decorate, or add functionality to objects. Paint composition includes pigments for color, a binder that forms the film, solvents to control viscosity, and additives. There are various types of paints based on their application, such as enamel, lacquer, stain, and powder coating paints that are applied by methods like brushing, rolling, and spraying. Paint can fail if not applied or treated properly, and historical use of volatile organic compounds in paint was harmful, leading to the development of more environmentally friendly low- and zero-VOC paints.
Paints
This document discusses different types of paints, including cement paints and enamel paints. It provides details on the key ingredients in cement paints, which is a mixture of Portland or white cement, lime, mineral extenders, and water repellent substances. Cement paint provides protection from UV rays, severe weather, and prevents fungus/bacteria growth on masonry surfaces. Enamel paint has a hard, glossy and opaque finish and is made from white lead or zinc white ground in oil and mixed with petroleum spirit and resinous matter. It can be applied to woodwork, plastered surfaces, and iron/steel surfaces.
Paints
Paints are used to protect surfaces from weathering and corrosion and improve appearance. They contain a base, carrier, pigments, and other additives. The base provides the body, the carrier helps spread the base and allows coloring from pigments. Common bases include zinc white and lead, and common carriers include water, linseed oil, and poppy oil. Additional components like fillers, solvents, and driers are added to provide bulk, spread the paint, and aid drying. Paints are classified into oil, plastic, cement, bituminous, water, and distemper paints. They serve to beautify, protect from corrosion and weathering, and make materials more durable.

Acrylic paint comes in various viscosities and grades for professional or student use.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
