Nearly 10 students, passionate about drawing and painting, expressed their wish to MOPCRS to visit a drawing studio and interact with an artist. The children were guided by visual communication department faculty Ranjith, a renowned artist.
Excited by this opportunity, the children quickly fell in. They asked Ranjith‘s feedback for their drawings and sketches and he praised them for their efforts. Amazed by their enthusiasm, he organised a drawing competition.
He appreciated the work of all the children and gave a special memento - sponsored by the students of Viscom department - to each one of them. Certificates were distributed to the students by college principal, Dr K. Nirmala Prasad.
This show was produced by G Raji Sankari and U K Sanghavi of 1st B.Sc. Viscom for MOPCRS.
