Students, teachers and parents join hands for art
ABU DHABI - Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) Director General, inaugurated the ‘Creativity Fingerprint painting Exhibition’ organized by Al Asayel School at the Abu Dhabi National Theatre.
The exhibition showcases 50 artworks created by students, teachers and parents; while the supervisor of the event participated with another 10 paintings. The exhibition general scope was to illustrate the genuine national heritage related to the land and the marine cultural assets as well as the local environment scenery.
Al Khaili said that this attention given to artistic talents is part of our priorities and the expression of our belief in the importance of refining their flair as this will positively impact academic achievement of the students and contributes to the development of the student’s artistic feeling, self confidence and personality.
He added that such an event would strengthen the ties between the students’ families and a platform for all to meet and exchange ideas and opinions on education and the challenges lying ahead of us. He also valued the organization of such events which are a beautiful expression of the positive link between students and their school.
Latifa Al Hosani, Al Asayel School principal said: “ The oil painting project was born in 2005/2006 academic year and was the idea of one of the students’ mothers who is an artist. She volunteered to teach oil paintings to our students in the Nature and Heritage theme. We feel so proud of our children creations and the level of proficiency they reached in this field”.
The students training program was initiated by Ayesha Al Suweidi, head of the Mothers Council Art Committee. Ayesha is an artist who first thought of teaching painting techniques and the first stage was to find the talented students and introduce them to the world of drawing basics and coloring techniques as well as searching for inspiring ideas and themes.
Later on, the idea gained great popularity and appreciation within the teaching stuff and they used the school break times in painting activities. The third stage saw the students’ mothers join the internal school exhibition. These joint efforts resulted in stunning artwork pieces added to the acquisition of the required artistic skills by the students.
Al Suweidi said that the number of young talents who took part in the training and excelled in painting was over a 100 students so far.
