The Big Picture - by KALA Club

SEPTEMBER 2014 PAGE 1

The „Big Picture‟ was a workshop to showcase talents in spray painting to the art lovers

conducted on 18th September, 2014 in the campus. The volunteers skilled in this particular art

form painted on a flex sheet using wall paint, distemper, strainers and spray cans.

The theme of the painting was based on adapting 3D projection concept in drawing the

universe on the flex sheet placed on the floor, with planets and stars scattered everywhere. The

image appeared as if a rocket comes out breaking the floor and exposing the universe below.

First the outline was done by a few students. Due to the time constraint something more

efficient than a paint brush was needed, hence the artists just dipped their hands in the colours

and started painting the picture. Within a few minutes the number of hands on the picture had

significantly increased. It was not an event where only club members participated, it became an

open event with the audience getting involved too. The painting was thus made by more than

thirty people. It was not just a normal painting; it needed to be viewed from a different

perspective. This is how the BIG PICTURE was done.

Teachers’ Day Celebrations


Teachers‟ Day was celebrated on 20th September on the campus. Amritadhara students

requested teachers to give few performances in any of their chosen performing arts.

Faculty came up with events like singing, instrumental music, drama, mimicry and

dance. The occasion provided the opportunity for the staff and faculty members from all the

departments to come and spend some time together.

Inter Campus Tournaments


Inter campus tournaments for Cricket and Tennis were held from 19th to 21st September,

2014 at Ettimadai campus. In cricket tournament, Bengaluru campus came winners by beating
