Universal Creativity

The United Nations International Years are calendar years which focus on particular themes. 2015 has been declared as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies.

According to the UN site (2015), “One of the oldest examples of light in art, can be seen in stained glass which dates back to the fourth century. This form of art relies on natural light to illuminate it’s brilliance and great detail”.

 

Universal creativity was demonstrated in the stain glass installation art piece which displays natural light. The artists came from all the grades of the International School of POS, each grade helped paint this stained glass project.

The creation of artificial light has made life much easier for us but the beauty of natural light still leaves us spell bound. The installation stained glass illustrated on three panels shows the sun rising, the noon day sun and the moon lit scene of a young girl holding a lit deya in keeping with the festival of light,  Divali theme.

It was an inspiring experience for me to watching my composition being created by a universal school effort as well as depicting a theme that will be globally depicted in educational projects throughout the calendar year of 2015.
