Understanding Art
An interactive session with Ms Puja Bahri
Puja Bahri, a renowned artist, studied English
literature for her graduation from Lady Shri Ram
College, Delhi University, and then did a course in
interior design from Apeejay Institute, before
training in painting and sculpture at Triveni Kala
Sangam to focus full time on her passion for art.
With consistent practice and two short courses in
mixed media and abstraction at the Central Saint
Martins' in London, she has worked to refine her
form and technique.
On 25th May 2014, at our 1st pre-charter meeting,
we invited Puja for an interactive session on
Understanding Art with our members. Puja
started by giving a brief overview on various
forms of art and showcased her recent work.
Later, she invited all the members to try their
hand at the canvas. With every member putting
some abstract strokes on what Rotary signifies to
them, she gave final touches to the masterpiece.
Members were really impressed with the final
outcome.
