Mangaluru, Oct 15: Art and craft as the name itself suggest is an organization that is art based. Art is an expression and communication of emotion and ideas. A means for exploring and appreciating formal elements for their own sake or representation. Art and craft gives us a way to be creative and express ourselves. This is something that makes us more thoughtful and well-rounded humans.

Through art and craft, students learn to value and appreciate artifacts and images across cultures and times. Experience in design, art and craft enable them to reflect critically on their own work and those by others. They learn to act and think like designers and artists, working intelligently and creatively.

To promote the creativity among students, FALCON PU College conducted a full-day Art & Craft event in its Mangaluru campus on Saturday October 12.

All the students of the college participated actively as well as enthusiastically and portrayed their skills and showcased their artworks at the exhibition, which was open to the guests and parents. Many games were also conducted which added colour to the event.

The event began on a positive note by the college principal Tarakeshwari, who welcomed the parents and guests. The principal complimented the students on their active participation and congratulated them for their dedication to make these co-curricular activities a grand success. She introduced Administration & Business Development manager, Shameer Ahmed to the gathering for a few encouraging words. Office manager Farooq spoke on the occasion.
