Our students took part in a day long
intra –school Art workshop on the 29th of April, 2014.
The workshop aimed at acquainting the
students with the environmental concerns of today; in other words the whole
objective was to encourage more and more students out of their comfort zone in the
digital world into the reality surrounding them. As a part of the ongoing
project on ‘The Changing Environment”, the workshop aimed at creating awareness
among students on various pertinent issues relating to the degradation of the
environment through posters, models and installations.
Various issues were highlighted in the event
by students of classes VIII-XII, from the abysmal condition of city roads to
the perpetual problems of water scarcity, the terrifying desert silently
reclaiming fertile lands and the once wildlife hotspots being stripped of their
exotic attractions.
While the posters were mostly suggestive
of the little individual contributions that could save the planet ,the majority
of the models featured an animated EARTH
fatigued by global warming ,burdened by
garbage (and population ) blinded by smog and deprived of the very basic care –all because of the ungrateful inhabitants united in their insatiable
greed and unscrupulous consumerism.
One highly innovative design portrayed a
tiny globe in the clutches of a BUGDROID (THE ANDROID ROBOT) with several other
Bugbots creeping below --perhaps a genuine concern or maybe a subtle satire on
over digitalisation.
Besides highlighting numerous
environmental issues, the workshop also was instrumental in showcasing the
talent and artistic genius of our young students.
