open canvas

An event named “Open Canvas” was held on 22nd September, 2009 on FLAME Campus where a group of musicians consisting of Milind Date [ flute], Nilesh Randive [tabla] , drums and guitarists (students of Flame) produced a melodic music. On the rhythm of this music, the artists Milind Mulick, Aditya Shirke, Mukta Awchat, Aditi Dev and Ketaki Pimpalkhare danced on the floor named canvas with colours. Students from Flame also got on the floor with their colors and canvas. This made each artist loosen oneself in both the arts simultaneously. The musicians enjoyed the painters swinging on their music, and the painters enjoyed the melody and mood achieved while painting with music.
This beautiful blend of two arts became an attraction for the others. The music pacified the ears of the audience and the colours appealed to the eyes. This combination made the mind of the audience take a break from the hush and bush of the life and relax. People enjoyed the increase in the beauty of painting with the addition of each colour stroke, making them curious for every next stroke and adding to the beauty further. With the passage of time, the audience could calm their heart, mind and soul at the same time. They were even amused with this process they were undergoing within.
Thus this event was enjoyed by every person right from the musicians to audience.An awesome initiative by the Visual Art class.
