The experience of visiting the art gallery

Hello,i am Emisha Ravani.Today I am writing this blog for the experience of visiting the art gallery which one organised for honouring of the artistic personality who is khodidas parmar by his students. He has contribute a lot to art of paintings. He has developed his own style in the field of paintings. Art gallery consisted such special paintings of ajanta Caves. It was interesting event for the people who are interested in the art specially in paintings. I saw that so many artistic souls were visiting that event and gaining knowledge about various styles and techniques of this field. 

When i visit this event i recall one thing when I was studying in higher secondary at that time in the year if 2018 I painted around 12 paintings of ellora Caves on white cloth and mad two idol of lord Buddha which was showing the example of the carvings of those Caves with the help of the art teacher. I would like to share here one picture of that event.

Mainly paintings are about showing the royalty of people, various stories of people, religious tales, various gods, some paintings are about the emotions of common people, some paintings are about women's life by this portrayed things we can get know that how those people were believing in various aspects of human life.The paintings in the Ajanta caves predominantly narrate the Jataka tales. These are Buddhist legends describing the previous births of the Buddha. These fables embed ancient morals and cultural lores that are also found in the fables and legends of Hindu and Jain texts. The Jataka tales are exemplified through the life example and sacrifices that the Buddha made in hundreds of his past incarnations, where he is depicted as having been reborn as an animal or human.
Here I'm sharing those paintings which are put at the gallery and the original paintings of caves.

This event was opening by one of special thing the guests were using the lamp or candles to see the paintings as 13 member in the traditions because at the alora and Ajanta Caves paintings getting lost their colours by the light so the tourist have to see the paintings by the lights Of lamp and candles. People of that time used natural colours to make this paintings and still we can see paintings after time passing a lot. 

What material paint used in Ajanta cave painting which is lasting so many years?
The cave paintings were created from 200 BC. 
The process begun with rough stone surfaces being coated with a thick coating of a paste made from clay, cow-dung, animal hair and vegetable fibre.Next, a finer layer of smooth white lime (Calcium oxide) was applied.
Before this was dry, the artists quickly traced the pictures using red cinnabar (Mercuric sulphide), which they then filled in with an slightly rubbery layer of terre-verte (iron-silicate+clay).The pigments, all derived from naturally occurring substances, which were water-soluble (kaolin chalk for white, lamp soot for black, glauconite for green, ochre for yellow and imported lapis lazuli for blue).The pigments were thickened with glue and added only after the terre verte layer was fully dry.

Here I'm sharing a video which has more information about Ajnta caves

Ben Jonson - a literary figure of english literature

 BEN JONSON 

Drink today, and drown all sorrow;

You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow;

Best, while you have it, use your breath;

There is no drinking after death.

                                                    -Ben Jonson

Hello, I am Emisha Ravani. Doing my master degree at department of English of maharaja krishnakumarsinhji bhavnagar university. Here this blog is relieving information about a prominent figure of jacobean era and elizabethan era. This is the thinking activity given by professor Dilip Barad sir and it is very interesting task to be done. 

Firstly we will get the information about Ben Jonson. the Great benjamin jonson. He was english Stuart dramatist, poet, literary critic, playwright. In English literature people are considering him as very second of william Shakespeare by the Fame and own contribution in the english literature. He was in the time of the reign of james 1. He was born in London 11 june 1572 and died at london 6 August 1637. He used to write by using the genre of satirical comedy. Major works Likewise, 

 Every Man in His Humour (1598),

 Volpone (1605),

 Epicoene,

 The Silent Woman (1609), 

 The Alchemist (1610),

Bartholomew Fair (1614)

He got his formal education from west Minister School.ended early, and he at first followed his stepfather’s trade, He was working as bricklayer then he joined army and he performed well there too.fought with some success with the English forces in the Netherlands. In 1597 he wrote 'The isles of the dog' collaborate with Thomas Nashe. This work got baned at that time. All the copies were burned. then in 5098 he killed Gabrial Spencer. He got himself into the jail for this too. His life is quite interesting to see.On returning to England, he became an actor and playwright, experiencing the life of a strolling player. 

Jonson apparently wrote tragedies as well as comedies.but his extant writings include only two tragedies, Sejanus (1603) and Catiline (1611).

His plays and notable achievements

Protestant England’s first poet laureate. His major comedies express a strong distaste for the world in which he lived and a delight in exposing its follies and vices.He was easily the most learned dramatist of his time, and he was also a master of theatrical plot, language, and characterization.

Major reputation is for in the field of drama and as well as plays. Still people like to read his works like volpone and everyman in his humour. In this work he tried to portrayed humours from latin comic. Afterwards he influenced so many other writers to use Jonsonian 'type' or 'humours'.



ORIGINAL cover page of his work 



Volpone is a comedy play by English playwright Ben Jonson first produced in 1605–1606, drawing on elements of city comedy and beast fable.A merciless satire of greed and lust, it remains Jonson's most-performed play, and it is ranked among the finest Jacobean era comedies.

Every Man in His Humour is a 1598 play by the English playwright Ben Jonson. The play belongs to the subgenre of the "humours comedy," in which each major character is dominated by an over-riding humour or obsession.

Speciality of Ben Jonson

James 1 was too pleasant for Ben Jonson causewhen Jones provided increasingly magnificent costumes and scenic effects for masques at court. The few spoken words that the masque had demanded in Elizabethan days expanded into a “text” of a few hundred lines and a number of set songs. Thus the author became important as well as the designer: he was to provide not only the necessary words but also a special “allegorical” meaning underlying the whole entertainment. It was Jonson, in collaboration with Jones, who gave the Jacobean masque its characteristic shape and style. He did this primarily by introducing the suggestion of a “dramatic” action. It was thus the poet who provided the informing idea and dictated the fashion of the whole night’s assembly. Jonson’s early masques were clearly successful, for during the following years he was repeatedly called upon to function as poet at court. Among his masques were Hymenaei (1606), Hue and Cry After Cupid (1608), The Masque of Beauty (1608), and The Masque of Queens (1609).

Jonson was a renowned in his unique style of masques.
