“OMNIFIC” speaks of “being creative”

is very apt for the specialized university

like Dr.YSRAFU Kadapa. “13” specialized

disciplines were commenced under

this university and the departments are

growing in “leaps and bounds” through

its specialized faculty drawn from

premier institutions from different parts of the country in Art,

Architecture, design, planning and technology disciplines.

Students are very enthusiastically joining and responding

to the growing need of these specialized disciplines. I wish the

publication committee of Dr.YSRAFU, a grand overwhelming

response to reach out through this e-magazine in the time to

come.

design for current needs. Our fine arts courses are designed to

give students the foundation they need to compose designs,

draw, paint, and sculpt. Our students gain great collaborative,

My Dear Readers

I would like to take this opportunity to greet everyone and

inform you about the publication of the second issue of the

university magazine. Despite challenging times, our team has

put in immense effort with heart and soul to present high-quality

content to all readers. Our team is looking forward to publishing

more interesting content about photography, art, culture, and

design. We believe that this is only possible with the help of our

readers, so encourage all the readers to submit their reviews.

This issue has transported me back to my college days,

when I was a photography enthusiast who aspired to have my

photographs published in college magazines. This, I believe, will

be an excellent platform for students and individuals to share

their ideas and showcase their talents. For general readers, I can

assure you that reading and learning about it will be a pleasurable

experience.

I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has

published and read the magazine. I thank the university for its

unwavering support and hope you enjoy reading the magazine as

much as we did.

Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre

On January 7, 1839, members of the French

Académie des Sciences were shown products

of an invention that would forever change the

nature of visual representation: photography.

The astonishingly precise pictures they saw were

the work of Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre

(1787–1851). From the moment of its birth,

photography had a dual character—as a medium

of artistic expression and as a powerful scientific

tool—and Daguerre promoted his invention on

both fronts.

An analytical and anthropometrical study on ‘Scale & Proportion’ on Ganga and Yamuna Sculptures: West Gate- South & North wall, from Pushpagiri Temple, Kadapa, AP:

Scale and Proportion, one of the most important principle in Art & Design, which followed from long back to measure the accurate knowledge of the artist philosophy. Apart from strong mythological significance, to narrate a story -relief sculptures have been used in different size with iconography.

Dated back to the historical background on art, artist mostly used visual and graphical scale compare to technical scale. Especially in this particular sculpture the ratio follows estimate 1:2 comparing with actual average life size Indian human height ( As per NIN-National Institute of Nutrition the new average height for Indian

men is 5.8 feet (177 cm), and that for women is 5.3 feet (162 cm) which was before for women- 5’2’’ and for Men 5’6’’).

Realism touches the rhythm, broken lines breaks the monotony, exaggerated ornamentations brings the beauty, beauty enhance the credibility, credibility leads to attract specters.

This illustration is detail of visual measurement where black line (Fig- 3 & 4) is for dividing body organs with computation measurement, yellow line indicates the same height, orange is the measure line of total height.

Ganga, high relief sculpture represented as a young mesmerizing beauty adorned with jewelry, standing with tribhanga poses, looking forward, standing on makara – which are the guardians of thresholds and entryways executing the story.
