An Inter-House Mask Making
Competition was organized on 20th November 2013 at GG International
School. Mask making is one of the most enjoyable crafts that children can be
engaged in. This activity was organized to explore and encourage creativity in
children and offer them a platform to show their skill in mask making. It
inspired children to think and work creatively and promoted artistic
excellence.
Children participated earnestly
in the competition. It was a difficult task thereafter for the house teachers
to short list one student from each section of each class. Children came up
with amazing artwork in mask making. A variety of paper and plastic plate
masks, head bands, eye masks etc. were made by the children and appreciated by
one and all.
The final judgment was made by the parent-judges Mrs.Laxmi Salgia and
Mrs.Sneha Rashnikar. The criteria for judgment were: creativity, detailing of
design and overall impact and originality.
In the Class III
category, Aadhya Laad from the Abhimanyu House was adjudged the best
and Taral Kambarkar from the Dhruv House secured the second position.
Category Class IV saw Nandini Ladkhani from the Abhimanyu House securing
the first position, whereas the second position was secured by Raunak Agarawala
from the Shravan House.
Nibha Gupta from the Shravan House stood first and Kshaunish Borkar from
the Abhimanyu House secured the second position in the Class V category.
Each of these masks prepared by the children was a treat to our eyes. This also
made the selection process
extremely difficult for our judges. This fun filled activity
witnessed an enthusiastic participation of all the students.
