Fresco Workshop

A piece of art is just not the final end product, it's the artist’s hard work, patience, a lot of thought process put into it. It is to know from where it originated, the history it has. It requires a lot of hardwork and patience to create an artwork. The students of Fine Arts were able to experience this in the “Fresco Workshop” conducted by The Department of Fine Arts, IIS Deemed to be University from 5th - 25th February’20. Dr. Nathulal Verma and Radha Kishan Ji were the eminent artists who guided our students through it. In this 20 day workshop the 35 students learnt the art of making a fresco tile from the scratch. Starting from how a tile is made, how to make the natural colours, the process of applying it. Their patience was tested along with it, taking care of the tile as if it was a child. The phrase of putting all your heart and soul in an art work was well seen in action here. Our faculty members and lab assistants didn't stay behind. They took this as an opportunity to enhance their skill and knowledge. They enjoyed being a student again. This chance of getting the knowledge first hand about an age old artform from the artist was a golden opportunity for everyone.
