Artist Camp
A 4- day Artist Camp provided Genesians the opportunity to see maestros in action, making a blank canvas come to life and sculpting raw marble stone into a beautiful piece of art.
During the Camp, students interacted with renowned artists Ashok Hazra from Ajmer, Shail Choyal from Udaipur, Anjani Reddy from Hyderabad, Paramjeet Singh from Delhi, Somenath Maity and Ayushman Mitra from Kolkata and Mukul Panwar from Delhi.
It was great to see aspiring young artists come together and get inspired to create masterpieces of their own. Both the teachers and students were extremely honoured to have met some of the country’s best artists.
