24th
Aug. – 5th Sept.’15: Pradarshak presents Vidyarthi Vishesh
Phase IV – Graphic Prints, Still Life, etc.
Printmaking is a
specialised subject that the students explore in college and use an array of
tools to give expression to their art forms. From engraving on a wood substrate
to etching on zinc plate, the artist’s expression is transferred on paper in a
limited edition.

| Etching 9" x 9" |
Each print thus taken is considered an original piece of art in limited edition of 2,3 or 4 and is marled by the artist as ‘AP’ a necessary inclusion in naming of the work of art.
Not a reproduction but a
graphic representation of the artist’s work, prints are laborious to make but
surprisingly less expensive to purchase. They are also framed in a special way.

In addition to prints,
students will also be showcasing their still life paintings – typically
commonplace objects that are painted from a live display. It is one of the
oldest known methods of painting and also forms part of initial training for
the art students to render an image ‘as is’ from a live display.
This show marks the last
phase of Vidyarthi Vishesh 2015.
