Neerja Modi School National Art Camp 2008

December 2008 was an exciting month at the NMS campus. We ended the year with a bang -The Neerja Modi School Art camp, an integral part of the Visual and Performing Art Centre that the school envisages to open in the near future. The camp undoubtedly was a huge success. There is no denying that a huge part of the Neerja Modi Art Camp magic came from the artistic talents of everyone at the camp. We always have some idea of how an activity will go, but the enthusiasm and creativity of our campers ensured that the results were beyond anything we could have imagined. The camp was a true reflection of the artist’s talents, their ideas, and their compassion.

The seven days of the camp (25th Dec’08- 31st Dec’08) were full of inquisition and discovery for everyone involved, right from the artists, to the students, to the organizers and volunteers Our students got the rare opportunity to interact with some of the best artists of India and spent some good time observing and painting with them.

The artists also had a chance to reflect on themselves and on the people around them with evening programs and free time spent in discussion, contributing something interesting and unique to the camp. A day trip to Bhangarh and Abhaneri was organized where all the artists enjoyed each others company in a relaxed and laid back atmosphere. It was nice to discover that some of the artists turned out to be very good singers too!!

The final display of all the works was a treat to the eye and was immensely appreciated by one and all. Everything, both during the sessions and in final creations reflected a depth of thoughts and talents which was beyond ones imagination. The camp came to a wistful end with everyone bidding adios to one another but also with the hope that they would meet again at the next Camp in 2009.
