Art Appreciation: The Expression of Etching in Printmaking through Mohd Fawazzie Arshad’s Artwork

In art world, Intaglio is one of the printmaking techniques that focuses on incising metal surfaces such as copper, steel or zinc plate. By using intaglio technique in producing printmaking artworks, that includes etching, drypoint or even mezzotint approach, the only thing that matters is the development of form through the understanding of lights and dark which leads to the exploration of value in art and design. On 14th September 2020, an artwork exhibition titled SI+SA was held at Galeri Shah Alam, with the aim of this exhibition is celebrating art from the different backgrounds of artistes during Covid-19 pandemic phenomenon. Mohd Fawazzie Arshad is one of the featuring artistes who participated in this exhibition and presented his remarkable intaglio artwork which emphasises the value of element and principle in arts. In this writing, the author was granted with the opportunity to conduct an interview with Mohd Fawazie Arshad to discuss the insight in his artworks and how does his artwork embark a different perspective in intaglio printmaking. This interview scrutinised on what are the elements that inspired the artist to produce his artwork and what are the references that artist has used in terms of developing idea and style in his artwork making. In this writing also, Mohd Fawazie Arshad will also explain the process of his artwork making based on his studio practises. It is important to understand the artist’s studio environment in order to explore the techniques and medium which has been practised by the artist in his artwork making. Findings from this research will produce a complete exclusive write up about Mohd Fawazie Arshad past and present artwork. It will enliven the art industry and academic writing especially in the field of Malaysian Printmaking art scene.

Treatment of uterine evasion by faradization

According to the author, electricity in most cases of uterine evasion is an excellent medical agent. It satisfies all three indications most often encountered in this suffering, counteracts the formation of dense exudates, promotes metabolism and restores the contractility of the ligaments that support the uterus. The author uses the apparatus of the Chardin system, the electrodes are a uterine probe with a carbon tip, described by Apostoli, and a zinc plate wrapped in felt and suede.

Analisis Perubahan Waktu Pengeringan Terhadap Variasi Tinggi Cerobong

This study aims to find out the efficiency of grain dryers using a chimney and a fan as suction air from the collector into the drying chamber.The research was conducted at the Central of Laboratory Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering, University of Muslim Indonesia, Makassar. A dryer was made from a zinc plate of 0.2 mm as collector by using a hot-air and solar energy as a drying medium. It was expected that this tool can dry grain quickly with evenly distributed drying level or water content. There were five variations of the Chimney : 20 cm, 50 cm, 80 cm, 110 cm and 140 cm with the grain thickness of 7 cm, 5 cm and 3 cm. The data were then analyzed to obtained the efficiency of the dryer. The results reveal that the time required to lower the water content of the harvest grain from 24.6% to 13.6% - 13.85% of milled moisture was 4 hours - 6.5 hours with an efficiency of 34,232 % for grain thicknes 7 cm, 31,480 % for grain thicknes 5 cm and 30,122 for grain thicknes 3 cm at 80 cm chimney height.
