Come..See..Get conquered.. said the invite.

It was an invitation to a “Creative Mela” held at Fountainhead School. It sure was a mela, but with a difference. Various artists from the city had been invited to share their talent with the students & guests and they also had a fabulous display of their creations. Tejas Danecha’s pencil sketches were awesome and so were the water colours by Naisargi Dave. Ankur Desai and Jwalant Patel with their sculptures and Maharshee with his clay modelling were very inspiring. Praveen brown’s caricature drawing was enjoyed by all. Stela Patel and Swati Vachhani encouraged the students to be part of their Kutch art display. Kekul Patel & her team also involved kids for their Mono Painting. Ms. Mona displayed many of the craft items. Noble, Vairagi and Raguveer had organized a splash painting activity for the students where they would use leaves, spoons and brushes to splash paints onto a plain surface. It truly was an activity that students thoroughly enjoyed. Kinjal Shah with her rangoli designs gave a lot of ideas for the coming festive season. Embroidery artists also gave a brilliant display of their work for which Surat is known for. Apart from these artists from outside, Fountainhead School had some great artists among its staff who displayed their creative side with demonstrations of warli painting, origami, nail art, tattooing, mehendi, rangoli, etc. Works of the visiting artists and the creative works of the students were on display. There was also a display of paintings on Gandhiji from the private collection of an art collector in the city. There was a talent corner where parents, visitors and their guests could try their hand at sketching and painting. More than 500 people visited this event and the response from them was overwhelming. “Such events give a great exposure to our children and bring out the creativity in them” commented one parent. Kudos to the organizing team for organizing such an inspirational event.
