After showcasing their artistic skills on canvas and pottery, participants at Spandan 2016, inter-collegiate festival, dabbled with colours on the T-shirts on Wednesday on the main JIPMER campus.

Nearly 38 students, especially medicos from different colleges across India, indulged in colours. With no specific theme given to the participants, they let loose their imagination to weave beautiful art forms on the tees.

Each participant chose a different theme.

Holding paint brushes, the students expressed ‘freedom’, ‘stop violence against women’, ‘you live only once’, and caricatures of various concepts.

These T-shirt paintings were to be decided based on the expression of theme, neatness of presentation, colouring, and design and overall impact.

This was followed by a “sketching” competition at the main auditorium. At least 24 students from different colleges took their pencils to sketch choosing from four themes of ‘rage’, ‘once upon a time’, ‘magic lamp’, and ‘we are one’.
