Visit to Islamic Art Museum (Chew Jue Ann 1003571)

The first thing I saw in this Art Museum is the China Mosque, which also the first model I attracted to. I attracted to this China Mosque is because it is located in China and the architecture of this building have been successfully build a unique and also beautify the overall image of a mosque itself.

(The Mosque at DaXueXi Lane)-China

The mosque was built in the Tang dynasty in the Ming dynasty, it underwent some repair too. This mosque in XI' AN illustrates the Chinese tradition of mosque building in both its design and artistic outlook.Chinese elements present are the pagoda,freestanding gateways, and the moon pavilion  minaret. It is the oldest surviving example of a Chinese monumental mosque.

This is the side view of the China mosque. In this side view, I can seen the sides of the angle of this mosque,  have the Chinese carving of art of like every houses or palace did. Therefore it will be also identified it is from China and I believed the architecture also is a Chinese people because of the details and the structure of the building.

For this, it is the carving of the ceilings and  walls, which it create lots of carving that in differ fine lines. By create differ fine line in the piece of carving art work, it produce a 3D perspectives and visual impact will give audience to have a kind of culture shock because of the overall piece.The most interesting part in this corner of it , is the ceiling. On the ceiling of this room filled with carvings, that quite amazed by the carver who did it because by create this kind of piece of art, really need lots of patience, skills and knowledge. Besides the fine details is the most impress part ,where I did look at it for a couple of minutes.   

 

While I walk towards to next session of the department, I eventually saw this. Sword, this sword are come from Arab. Among all the swords I seen, this is the sword I mostly liked most because the sword itself have a curved sharp knife and the carving on the handle of this sword have fine details of images too. The overall of this sword looks weird and differ from others because of the looks of it. The designer who create it, have a purpose of create the curved knife which it can easily to hunt down a particular live object and the fine images are the status of a person whom are holding it.

 

Lastly, while I am walking all the way to the entrance of museum I saw this huge of carving art piece. Once again, I admired the fine carvings again. The overall of this piece, give a warm and mystery looks because firstly the carving. The carving part is once again details and 3 dimensional geometric and organic lines and it create a warm feeling too. Secondly the huge of this art piece, have create a feeling of mystery. The size of it, have been enlarge and been create a image of a room like. Where it seems like a room filled with mystery feelings. 

 

This is one of the sketches, from one of the model in the mosque.

 

As for this, also a sketches which is the whole image of the floor. Why I sketch this, because the structure itself of the museum also an art where the architecture try to build accordingly to the actual mosque of Islamic,even though it is not look same but the every arch itself have been represent the Islamic art.

I learn the differ structure, fine details,art,images in this museum. I am glad to have this chance to explore deeper of  Islamic art which I think it will be bored at first but somehow it changed my mind throughout the exploring in this Istamic Arts Museum Malaysia.
