The senior school art students earned the opportunity to experience one of the most prominent art events in India. The Art Fair takes place annually in Delhi and exhibits works of more than a hundred experienced and notable artists, showcasing different cultures, ideas and, influences. The venue was flooded with art enthusiasts from all around, emitting a passionate aura of creativity and cultural vibrancy.
Every art piece had a different story, a different meaning, a different truth.
There were many noteworthy artworks ranging from media such as installations all the way to interactive art pieces. The exhibits truly allowed us to witness the face of contemporary art today from different cultures and backgrounds as well as gain a privilege to influence themselves and their own art practices by observing the realm of art and creativity at a whole new level.
The next day we visited the Sushant School of Art and Design, one of the leading Indian universities in the fields of art and design. The visit also gave us an opportunity to attend a workshop by Ms. Sarah Atkinson, who gave a session explaining how to excel in Fashion and Design colleges abroad and what makes a great portfolio. It proved extremely useful for students pursuing design and art as career options in their futures, giving them early preparation.
As expected by an art college, the place was bustling with art. Students of the college had the liberty of painting walls, roofs gardens. Almost anything with impactful and mind-blowing artworks. There were large-scale works as well as interesting compositions and galleries dedicated to the works of the students of the college. We were given a brief tour of the entire building and workspace before being given a glimpse of an even better architecture design building, which was a part of the college. Within this tour, we were familiarised with the college student daily routine, hostel area & facilities, giving them an opportunity to discover what Indian colleges can offer should they choose to attend one in their futures.
