IGNOU organises five-day art exhibition
The Masters in Fine Arts (MFA) final year on-campus students of the
Indira Gandhi National Open University’s (IGNOU’s) School of Performing
and Visual Arts (SOPVA) showcased their talent by organising five- day
‘IGNOU Annual Art Exhibition 2012’ at the India Habitat Centre in the
capital.
Fourteen students participated in the exhibition and painted their
mind on the canvas. The paintings were available for sale.
Vice-Chancellor, Prof. M. Aslam, IGNOU, visited the exhibition and
lauded their talent. He extended his good wishes to the participants
and felt that an art exhibition is a forceful medium for preserving the
rich heritage and cultural growth of our society. He further
expressed that there is no better instrument than the works of art for
transmitting the legacy of the past to the future generations and
inculcating a wide interest among them especially the youth in every
field of endeavour – artistic, intellectual and social.
The VC interacted individually with every participant as they
explained him their masterpieces and in a testimonial diary wrote, “It
was educating to interact with the future artists who are full of ideas
and enthusiasm. I am confident about their bright future.”
Prof. Sunil Kumar, Director, SOPVA, felt that this exhibition is to
focus on areas of knowledge and professional specialization. It is the
first effort of the university to showcase the work of art of the
students of MFA Painting to the art world.
