DUSSHERA - FESTIVAL OF VICTORY OF GOOD OVER EVIL

India is known as a land of festivals and celebrations and this festival continues for ten days and Dussehra is celebrated on the tenth day. In fact it is believed that the war between Lord Ram and Demon Ravana went on during these 10 days and Ravana was killed by the hands of Ram on the tenth day.  Today Dussehra is a festival that teaches us to sacrifice our ego, anger and evils and to adopt calm and good behaviour.

Students of Year 2 enacted the entire scene in a special 'Dusshera Celebration' assembly.

Ganesh Chaturthi  is one of the important Hindu festivals celebrated throughout India with  great devotion. This day is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh, the elephant-headed son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Lord Ganesh is the symbol of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune.

Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated by the students of Class I A and Class I B on 15^th Sept. 2016 in the Jr. School. There was too much of excitement in the air as students were dressed in their festive attire. The mythological story of Ganesh’s birth and how little Ganesh got an elephant head, was explained to the children with the help of a story and PowerPoint presentation. The 101 names of Ganesha were mentioned along with the significance of his trunk, small eyes, large ears and various other parts of his body. In the end, the children enacted the roles played by each family member – Shiva, Parvati, Riddhi Siddhi and Kartikeya and also sang bhajans (hymns) to please ‘Lord Ganesha’. Prasad (sweets) was distributed in the end to each and everyone.

THEATRICAL MAKEUP WORKSHOP 

BY MELISSA BERRY

Ms. Melissa Berry from Ashbury College, Canada conducted a ‘theatrical makeup’ workshop for Jr. School Teachers on 19th July 2016. Participants learnt how to work with latex. With this product, wounds and wrinkles can easily be created. The makeup techniques taught in the workshop can be used for stage makeup and special effects makeup for movies. The teachers created realistic looking wounds using fake blood. They blended the wounds to their skin using foundation. The final result was quite scary.

Gond Tribal Art Workshop by renowned artist Mrs. Japani Shyam

Under the Virasat – 2016 series organized by SPIC MACAY, Indore Chapter a three-day workshop on ‘Gond Tribal Painting’ commenced at the Daly College, Jr. School. The workshop was conducted by Smt. Japani Shyam who is the daughter of the famous Gond artist, Shri. Jangarh Singh Shyam.

The Workshop was conducted in two groups of 30 students each, with a session of 90 minutes. The students were first briefed about the origin of Gond tribal paintings. This form originated from Patangarh village in Dindori District in Madhya Pradesh. 

In the early days, Gond Paintings were made on walls of houses depicting animals, religious deities and birds. Later in mid 1980’s Shri Jangarh Singh Shyam introduced this painting on paper.

The students were briefed about the various brushes that are used to draw the pictures of birds and other animals and also how different colors are used. During the session, students made an outline of their individual drawing which was further enhanced during succeeding sessions.

The participating students were excited to be a part of this workshop.

Principal Dr. Sumer Singh, Headmistress Jr. School Mrs. Rashmi Ahuja and Dean Jr. School Mr. Gary Everett visited the workshop and encouraged the participants and appreciated the efforts of the mentors.
