Painting exhibition with a difference

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
A painting exhibition has got underway in the city with a difference. It is an exhibition of paintings by some underprivileged children who have no formal training in this field.
Yet their creations have impressed the visitors. Their work of art has proved that they have similar dexterity in creative field as they have in their other works.
The painting exhibition has been organised by Underprivileged Children's Educational Programmes (UCEP), Bangladesh which is a nongovernment organisation working since 1972.
The exhibition has offered the children a room to expose their creativity.
The exhibition began at UCEP head office at section 2 of Mirpur on November 6.
Earlier, 24,000 working children from 39 UCEP schools across the country participated in a painting competition in two age-groups.
The exhibition is displaying the colourful drawings of the winners at divisional levels.
The paintings were evaluated by a panel of judges comprising renowned artists Prof Rafiqun Nabi, Prof Abul Bareq Alvi and Samina Nafies.
The participants used crayons, water colour, wood pencil and sketch pen as mediums to translate their thoughts into paintings.
The hues and tones used in paintings gave the exhibition a festive look.
The little painters picked up different topics and social issues that charmed the visitors.
They depicted beautiful landscapes of rural Bangladesh and showed their environmental awareness through a sketch titled 'Deforestation'.
"I want to convey the message that clean environment is a must for all," said Md Sohaguddin who painted clean surroundings of a village home.
A student of class eight of Gonoktuli UCEP school, Sohag never had any formal training in painting. Now he is attending a course at Shishu Academy.
The paintings are open for sale and the proceeds will be used for funding the UCEP programmes, said the authorities.
Matin Chowdhury, chairperson of UCEP Board of Governors, hoped corporate agencies and NGos would come forward to buy the paintings for their greeting cards and other publications.
The exhibition will continue till November 13 from 2.00 pm to 6.00pm daily.
