Virtual Exhibition:
The Creative Buds
Our souls are like drops in the
ocean, waiting to be found
and having the sunlight glint off of
them. They’re the Pandora boxes to
our personalities and the culmination
of our heart, body and minds.
These precious elements give birth
to some of the most beautiful qualities
that make a person a human.
Talent, imagination, creativity, compassion,
empathy and love. Souls
are the embodiment of art, of pure
human elegance and rawness. From
the time of birth, a child is exposed
to all forms of art and hues around
it. Art is what helps it pave its way
into the world and make sense of
the haunting yet magnificent chaos.
Art is the building block for a child to
grow and blossom into an independent
and assured adult. It’s a tool for
them to find themselves and make
sense of their surroundings in the
most astounding manner. It’s what
encourages people to leave a mark
on this world.
Our International exhibition ‘The Creative
Buds’, was a long awaited ride,
that gave a refreshing boost to all
those who participated and were a
part of this experience. The award
ceremony was an exciting event that
kept all the participants as well as
their parents on the edges of their
seats. This would have not been
possible without our honorable jury
members, Kritika Rawat, Rich Mccor,
Maria Mishkareva, Dhaval Khatri and
our sponsors, Equifax Tourism and
Travel LLC and BRAINOBRAIN. Obviously
it would have been an incomplete
evening without our talented
students and their ever supporting
parents.
As students and jury members
started entering the call a thrilling
buzz had settled in the air. Webcams
were popping on with their shy yet
energetic faces showing up on the
screen. The feeling of restlessness
to begin the show was apparent in
everyone’s voices. The event started
off with a bang with our energetic
host who embraced everyone with
a warm, accepting and lively sentiment.
The first category was filled with
paintings from our younger artists,
ages up to seven, that left us
in immense awe. The theme of this
category was ‘Planet Earth’, a very
important subject during these frail
times that our planet is facing. To
see such young kids exhibit such
talent was truly inspiring. Their
scenes of sunsets and night skies
left us feeling exhilarated. The first
prize in this category was awarded
to Insiyah Mansoor of Gulf Indian
High School. The second prize was
awarded to Amrita Syam of Gulf Indian
High School and the third prize
was a tie between Burhanuddin Maimoon
of MSB Private School and Lun
Hoi Ching Alyssa of Hong Kong Ling
Liang Church Tsuen Wan Kindergarten.
This category was followed by a
token of wisdom from our jury member
Kritika Rawat who is the biggest
and most awarded Asian celebrity
in the Middle East, Co-founder of K
Kompany and also called the unofficial
Ambassador of the Asian Community
in Dubai, a voice that numerous
south Asians relate to. She has
been doing radio for the last 15
years and single-handedly has built
an empire of her own.
Throughout the event along with the
award distribution there was simultaneous
polling and activities taking
place on our socials that made it an
even more interactive and thrilling
session. Our second category featured
students from the ages eight
to thirteen with the designated
theme as ‘The Beautiful Nature’. The
students made sure to do justice
