Colour capture: The painting exhibition
It was an opportunity for young artists of Bangalore to exhibit their work alongside their counterparts from different parts of the world. It was also a forum for children to exhibit their talents in other forms such as music and dance.
Bit of culture
The World of Art, Europe, in association with World Art Foundation, Bangalore, and Jawahar Bal Bhavan Society, organised the first International Children’s Art Work Gallery.
About 200 works of children from Ukraine, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and other countries, besides those of Indian children, were on display. Children presented cultural programmes. Theyturned up dressed as Shiva, Krishna, Buddha and other mythological characters to participate in cultural programmes.
Dignitaries including former Lokayukta N. Venkatachala, cine artiste Prema, Bangalore city police commissioner N. Achuta Rao were all praise for the paintings displayed in the gallery.
The show was inaugurated by Shivamurthy Murugha Sharana of Murugha Math, Chitradurga.
Speaking later, Ms. Prema appealed to parents to identify the talents in their children and encourage them instead of imposing on them. Mr. Venkatachala stressed the need to focus especially on girl children.
Shriya Dinakar, one of the prize winners, was all praise for her parents’ support.
“We should respect our parents and teachers who always strive hard for our progress,” she said. Her Kuchipudi dance to D.S. Karki’s song “Hachchevu Kannadada Deepa”" was a hit with the audience.
