The Works We Propose To Sell.
BLACK PENCIL POWDER STUMP WORK
http://docs.google.com/110635859322176337972(to sale)




   1. Jesus Christ                      2. In The Twilight                     3. Subash Chandra Bose
                                                                            The great Indian freedom fighter and
                                                                        Founder of the Indian National Army- INA


                  All the three works mentioned above are in the medium called ‘black pencil
powder stump work’, a medium involving a lot of hard work and extra ordinary skill. They were
executed during the period 1952-68 by the students of the Venus Arts Institute ,but polished up by
their beloved teacher and my father the late R.R.Krishnan who was a versatile painter and founder of
the institute, which enjoyed immense popularity in the southern parts of Kerala and the northern
regions of TamilNadu. All these works bear the imprint of his genius.

The students, in turn, donated these works to their teacher so that the sale proceeds of these works
could be utilized for the development of the Venus Arts Institute, the only one of its kind in the area in
those days.

We have decided to offer these works for sale with the humble aim of purchasing a piece of land and
constructing a building there on to house the school and offer various new courses in painting which
has always been the long cherished dream of our family and the student community.


  ? HOW                these works were executed.

These works were done on high quality paper imported from Germany and through a process which is
at once laborious and time- consuming.


  A short profile      || Venus arts institute -                    Venus - School of Arts

Venus Arts institute was founded way back in 1951, at a small village called Parassala which lies south
of Trivandrum District in the state of Kerala by the late R.R .Krishnan who was an artist and painter
par excellence and philanthrope in his right .

Most of the students of this school were from poor families and in straited circumstances, so my
father {the late R.R.Krishnan} himself had to help them by coaching them free of cost and even
spending money from his own pocket to remit their examination fees there by incurring great
financial liabilities. At last he had to sell the land on which the school stood to clear the debts and
moved to a rented building nearby.

Artists& Non-Artists Charitable Organization Regno: T/1192/98 | Bhavana, Thozhukal, Neyyattinkara,
Trivandrum. Kerala, India. |RAJA RAMAKRISHNAN Founder & President.

In 1988, due to infirmities of old age and financial problems .Mr.R.R.Krishnan entrusted the affairs of
the school to R.Raja, his son who was a budding artist then. I am proud to say that more than
20,000 students have passed out of this alma mater during the period 1951 and 2010.What is more
important is that most of them got jobs in schools as drawing masters or distinguished themselves as
renowned artists and painters.

Students from distant places like Maldives and Lakshadweep flocked to this school. We did not realize
any tuition fees from financially backward students, with the small income we got from the students
by way of tuition fees, we found it increasingly difficult to run the school. Monthly rent, salary to
teachers and miscellaneous expenses were too high for us to manage. Besides, physically challenged
students were exempted from paying tuition fee.

  In our sincere efforts to get sponsors, so that we could revive the school by giving expert training to
our students in animation and graphics, we even affiliated our school to NGO’ like TEACH
International, MICSSANA, both of them were in Greenland in America, but unfortunately we could
not make any head way for want of funds.

But we went ahead with the humanitarian activities like conducting awareness programs against
HIV/AIDS, by displaying wall-posters, conducting quiz programs and painting competitions. These
and other activities caused great financial strain on us. But we pulled on because we had the support
of the masses and the encouragement and adulations from the UN, UNAIDS, International HIV/AIDS
Alliance-UK .


     WHY the sale of these works ?
Though 59 years have passed since the school was started, it is indeed regrettable that it has
not even a small piece of land or a building of its own to house the school. The school is not
functioning now. There is ample scope for multimedia courses in our state which is
known for its highest literacy rate and joblessness among the young. Because of these
reasons we are forced to sell these three works of art. We hope to use the sale proceeds to buy a tiny
piece of land and construct a small building there on, the earlier the better so that we can reopen the
school.


   ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SPONSORS.
Paintings, portraits, landscapes, drawings, mural paintings ,etc are our main source of support and they
can adorn home and offices alike .We undertake to do oil portraits with a hundred years guarantee .These
works will be sent to the interested parties by courier service.

We are sending our prospectus along with this. We are glad to inform that our compaign               against
Global Warming and its impact is due to start soon.

     With regards,                                             sincerely,
                                                                    Raja Ramakrishnan
