Art Through The Years
Artworks tell a lot about our history. These pieces often tell stories and trends of a certain period in time. You can also tell what technology is available in those times based on the materials used. Primitive men used sharp rocks to carve out figures on the walls of prehistoric caves. As the years go by and man evolves to become more superior in intellect, the tools they use to express their artistic side also improved.
If you look at popular and well-preserved artworks in most museums today, you can learn a lot not only about the artist but about that period in history. The art also connected people regardless of race, religion or personal differences. Appreciation for the arts is universal. So, find out now how the arts shaped and connected the world through the years.
The Malta Stock Exchange is sponsoring an art exhibition, curated by artist Adrian Scicluna, within the Exchange building at the Garrison Chapel at Castille Place in Valletta.
The exhibition investigates notions of connectivity, with participating artists presenting works that explore the theme not merely from an interest in instruments and infrastructures, but by acknowledging the phenomena of what connectivity says about us.
The exhibition features works by artists, Matthew Attard, Noel Attard, Vince Briffa, Clint Calleja, Glen Calleja and Sandro Spina, Giola Cassar, Valerio Schembri, Adrian Sciculna, Sarah Maria Scicluna and Darren Tanti.
“Clint and Valerio link religion with modern communication technology. Through the use of metaphor Valerio investigates inclusion and exclusion in society; while Clint references the Tower of Babel from the Bible, sending a cautious message that we must be wary of today’s communication technology,” Scicluna explains.
He continues how Darren Tanti’s painting connects two realities, exploring how Eastern and Western contemporary and historical culture influence each other and subsequently merge.

We learn a lot about our past by looking at old artworks and it gives us a glimpse of what the future also holds for us.
The world is built on binaries: good and evil, war and peace and life and death. The work of Sherin Guirguis, an artist, associate professor and vice dean of faculty at the Roski School of Art and Design, challenges notions of the informal and formal, the structured and chaotic, the arts and the politics.
Even one artist can make a big impact in this world.
Her work focuses on connecting opposites together, both in art and in life.
Her most recent work “One I Call,” which is currently on display at the Desert X exhibit in Palm Springs, is an interactive complex based on the pigeon towers of Egyptian villages. Often used to serve as beacons of the outskirts of civilizations or the ancient mail systems of rural communities, these pigeon towers were central places for communities. “One I Call” aims to do the same by incorporating the natural landscape of the Whitewater Reserve of the Coachella Valley into a beautiful complex with which visitors can interact.
The final piece is a beehive-esque tower, in which gold leaf circles and sticks align in geometric patterns that collect sunlight in a dazzling way. The landscape of the exhibit — tall mountains where sheep graze, and birds burrow in the boulders — complements the small tower nested in a beautiful desert. When visitors come, they truly are able to interact and experience the history behind the pigeon tower, theCoachella Valley and the civilizations before it.
“We came to a place, we made a work about that place and then we had people from that place engaged,” Guirguis said. “That felt good.”

If you go to the Horror section of your local bookstore today, you won’t find books by Stephen King, Mary Shelley or HP Lovecraft; instead, you’ll find a stack of newspapers from the past couple of years.
Okay, that’s not quite true—let’s just call it an alternative fact—but it may as well be. Because with Trump, Brexit, the refugee crisis, and the rising tides of rightwing populism, nationalism, racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia, the real world has become so nightmarish that no amount of snarky online commentary can make a difference. Even this article.
But there may be something that can: art.
We’ve seen millions of protesters standing up for what they believe in, fighting back against the seemingly inevitable fascism and fake tan-tinged future, and now artists are bringing their progressive messages to as wide an audience as they possibly can.
As Paul Gauguin said at the turn of the last century, “Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionary.” Leo Tolstoy called art “a method of communication between humans about the conditions of life itself.” And as Sam Lewis-Hargreave recently put it, “Don’t worry, I’ll stop quoting old artists and get to the point.”
Historically, art has been about resistance. It’s a tradition that goes further back than Picasso, but let’s start with him anyway. Described with uncertainty on the artist’s own website as “probably Picasso’s most famous work,” the 1937 painting Guernica used Cubism in a way that finally made sense: to portray the tragic, distorting, and downright confusing nature of the suffering of war.

History teaches us that art played a big role on how we shaped our society today. Artworks have been instrumental in pushing for reforms and changes that were desperately needed by the people of yesteryears. Until now, artists hide messages in their art pieces that let the public know about their stand on certain issues that plague the world today. And it is inspiring to realize that these beautiful and timeless pieces serve a dual purpose that not only pleases the eye but also works for the common good.

Coding is Fun with Unity
So each and every student had to have a role in such venture. The roles were given by Sherilyn as she represents the whole team outside of her own job. In the meantime, the game is almost there.
Distribution of Work
- Buttons, Origami Instructions, Scroll Bar, Stars, and Backgrounds: David Ellul - Menu, Tutorial Instructions, Backgrounds, Stickers & Stars: Sarah Galea - Menu/ Tab - characters, Origami Characters, and Backgrounds: Sherilyn Scicluna - Menu (Character/ Camera_, customization, and Backgrounds: Maria Graziella Zammit - Programming and Sound (Verifying): Anthony Mallia - Programming and Supervisor: Andre' Farrugia
However sometimes I do feel that programming is interesting to learn, yet I’m feeling that there is no time to learn any curvature with all the projects that such college offers.It is like everything has to be learned instantly and there is no time for making any mistakes. I’m not saying that school isn’t offering me new opportunities to feel empowered but the fact that it keeps pushing different subjects in a staggering moment makes unbelievably hard.
Anyway fetching for tutorials and other research enabled us to complete different scenes from the game. I have nothing to argue about my pal Andre’. We are a dream team that when it goes down to business we now that we are capable of achieving it. The splash screen, main menu, character customizer, character choice, level choice and other sense that make the game almost ready. Meanwhile, the two main different levels are their fo completes, however, there is still so many different components.The health bar, point system, camera follow are still to be implemented.
As from now, certain elements are present in the game yet there are also different assets that yet have to be received. At this point, we did find a truce with the graphic design department. We were collaborating with each other however we did get the grasps of each others character. All I’m looking forward to is to finish the whole project. Nothing else.

Task-2 - Application/Team Choice
Epicgami is the main name of the game. Wait, hold on and sit back it wasn’t the main idea for all, neither for me. However, I joined forces with Sarah and Maria Graziella in order to create our own applications. However, we took it a step further by joining forces with Sherilyn, Andre, and David. Since both teams had similar ideas, we merged each and every aspect into a whole new level. At first, it was indicating that this game was going to use the means of virtual reality or augmented reality, yet none of them is going to be part of the final product.
So what has been processed until now is that the game called Epicgami, a title chosen by Sherilyn is meant for autistic children that want to express themselves trough a game. A brief summary of the interactive game requires one to either create their own origami or else a presets of two different characters can be chosen in the game. The next scene will be a tutorial portraying the approach of how such origami could be forged.
On the other hand, not much can be said about what will be involved in the game. However David one of the designers involved in the game has suggested that the game will have elements from a popular game such as “Angry Birds”. In the meantime, there is a lot to be discovered.
The team is basically made up of four different designers while Andre and myself are basically the backend/brain on how the game will function. Before each and every proportion of the code being coded, several elements have to be researched while also adding our twist on how the main pace for the game will take place.The elements that need a lot of research while providing an enriched journey throughout the whole interaction would be:
The need for a camera that is enabled to work in a png format so that any created origami could be captured.
Modification section has to be made functional and entertaining for each and every selection, the user will be able to choose from.
A game that is basically simple in concept yet eye catching and addicting.
A free downloadable game though items can either be purchased while playing the game.
Instructions have to be compelling and a wise thought should be given to each and every input while creating them.
The different concept is being developed by both departments. However, the programming section involves different stages of testing. This makes the whole product challenging since there is so much to process in just two months from its official deadline. My fellow colleague and I are doing our best in order to deliver the best and ideal product for the target audience to cherish. I do believe that until the end of this semester the whole idea would be fully functional. That doesn’t mean that it won’t have its actual perks.
Update:
This is an overall update portraying the different meetings taken in order to reach the final briefing for such game application. Thanks to the Graphic Design department we have sketches while also other designs to show the whole procedure.
Sketch Design by Sherilyn Scicluna.
MoodBoard Design by Maria Graziella Zammit
Design Process by David Ellul
The upcoming images will portray the final outcome of the whole product into several portrait designs. It is not yet clear whether the game would be played in a portrait mode or landscape resolution.
Final Product Design by Graphic Design Department
Apart from planning and processing, what has to be done Andre and I are already developing the skeleton of how this game will function. Manipulating each scene with the use of Unity, scripts are being also written in order to make different scenes functional whenever a Button is pressed. The use of assets are also being applied so that some features would be ready for use to work on. Tweaks there and then on such plugin will respond to different commands. Though the fact of eliminating the purposes of virtual reality or augmented reality we still have a camera to develop from scratch. Also, an interactive game that has to meet the main requirements while also pleasing the main target audience.
The backbone of such game can be seen below.
