‘Exposure to the arts and culture is enormously valuable’ -Kevin Spacey
On the 9th of April 2022, the Art Department of Vidya Vikas Academy organized
a visit to an exhibition / a print making workshop and an artist’s walkthrough, by Ms. Sitara Chowfla in collaboration with Sunapranta, Goa Centre of the Arts, Panjim.
The objective of this visit was to expose students to diverse forms of art, engage them in discussion and give them opportunities to present their opinions and views.
Budding artists of class 10 visited Sunapranta, Goa Centre of the Arts, Panjim.
‘Boundaries’ the art show on display was apt and resonated with the ongoing Ukraine – Russia conflict.
The photographs and sculptures on display were very thought provoking.
Our students also interacted with artist Isa Hinojosa as she gave them some tips on visual art.
A small workshop was conducted in cynotype printing through which students learnt a new printing technique.
Here is what they had to say:
‘Going to the art centre opened our eyes upon the fact that art didn’t consist only of drawing s and paintings, but way beyond.’ – Shaivi Gaonkar.
‘I learnt not only to see art, but understand it through touch and feel and be one with it.’ – Anaaya Gonsalves.
Every piece of art had a unique and complex meaning along with an interesting story’. – Manmayi Lotlikar.
‘My favourites were paper mache works by Sanayvi Naik and photography by Vinita Baretto’. – Keya Nesarkar
‘I learnt about different art forms, how it can arouse a feeling in me and how I can connect it to everyday life’. – Suha Mahamed.
The thoughtfully organized programmes amidst calmness added value to our students’ artistic minds!
