What would your ideal party scene be like? On lounge chairs with champagne glasses, or a raucous game of table football over finger food?

Students of a city college will help you visualise with their miniature models of pubs and discotheques.

On Friday, at the launch of Create Club for the year at M.O.P. Vaishnav College of Women, there were plenty of visual treats on display.

The club, which helps nurture and encourage the college’s creative best, is attached to the department of visual communications. 

According to its president Kaveri Zacharia, the club aims to provide a primer for media literacy.

“We hope the club helps promote the creative faculties of students,” she said. 

Veena Gayathri, vice-chancellor of Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University, who inaugurated the club, spoke of the importance of pursuing art with an obsessive passion.

“Art needs hard work and obsession to nurture the innate talent,” she said.

College principal Lalitha Balakrishnan also spoke.

Along with a photography exhibition, workshops on tie ‘n’ dye, junk art and greeting card making were well received by students.

Workshops on soft pastels, studio photography and clay modelling will also be held on Saturday.
