Humzanama

Updated: Sep 30, 2022

A passage from the book "The Adventures of Amir Hamza" by Abdullah Bilgrami and Ghalib Lakhnavi was read and used to draw several drawings and make models of the same.


The Hamzanama or Dastan-e-Amir Hamza narrates the legendary exploits of Amir Hamza, or Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib, an uncle of Muhammad. Most of the stories are extremely fanciful, "a continuous series of romantic interludes, threatening events, narrow escapes, and violent acts"

The passage used for this module is in the fourth part of the book, titled, "Of the arrival of Qaroon Akka Bin Furhad-Akka and Kuliyat Bin Galeem Ayaar, and of their taking Amir Hamza and Muqbil Vafadar prisoner."


The drawing made at the start of the module:


The models created while working:


The models in the center of the image were selected to be the final models.



The final models:




The aim of the module was to introduce us, the students, to the concept of space and understanding it. This was the first time we made models on a much larger scale than we have ever worked on and working with a group, which helped us understand the amount of time and materials it takes to make such models, and how to work in a group, that is, working with multiple people who have contradictory opinions about matters related to the project.
