Guwahati: Mass Communication Department of Assam Don Bosco University marked Child Rights Day with a photography exhibition on 20th November 2014.
First semester students explored the theme of ‘Colours’ in all its shades by putting up 12 panels of 36 photographs.
Pro-Vice Chancellor Fr. Joseph Nellanatt SDB inaugurated the exhibition in the morning assembly and encouraged the students for their hard work and dedication.
“It was indeed the best way to exhibit photos in the university as part of the end semester examination, by getting students get immersed in the use of photography at the start,” says Fr C.M. Paul Head of Mass communication Department .
Each student developed three photos on various shades of colours, including colours of nature, colours of dawn, colours of dusk, colours of life and colours of things. Some of them used their own creativity in developing photos with the help of oil paints and colored chalks while some make use of raw materials in framing the shot. “This exhibition was an opportunity for them to showcase the talents in the field of photography”, says Shyjan , a student from South Sudan.
“Many of us are not good photographers, we are just learners. We tried our best and it came out well,” says Daniel Thomas, a student from Kerala.
“I congratulate all who have put up their hard work and creativity” added Usha Mary Sharma, a faculty member of the College.
Students were enthralled when some of their masterpieces were bought by other students during the exhibition and the event was a success.
