Hi to everyone on here. While this won't technically be my first post on hive, this will however be my first post on here. So hi, members of the Gems community. My name is Samuel and i am an avid lover of everything and anything considered Art.
I schooled in Yabatech, a polytechnic locate in Lagos, Nigeria. I majored in Electrical study, but Art has always been my favorite thing to study.
My favourite place in Yabatech is the Art faculty, a building which houses several art related departments - from scuptures to paintings, to textiles and all.
On the outside of the faculty, there are several arrays of art sculptures and metal works on display for admiration by passerby. I was passing though sometime recently and i noticed a new statue has been put in place
This sculpture is the representation of man, presumably from the Yoruba tribe beating a drum. There are several type of drums that originates from the Yoruba tribe. However, a drum of this particular shape and size is called the "Bata drum". This drum has an hourglass shape with unequal ends. Drum in Yoruba are most used to eulogize royalties and those with enormous wealth.
I tried to picture the reality of the drummer, and i was i awe. He looks like he was really enjoying what he was doing. Kudos to the sculptor who had the tenacity to finish such beautiful work of art.
I took a look around me and found some other fascinating work of art.
I title this thinking man. It reminds me of a popular quote "Doers change the world, not thinkers".
This metalwork is even more impressive when you consider the making. Pieces of scrap metal joined together to create a pulchritudinous hunk.
Yeah, the 'Jordan's slam dunk '.
