TODAY TV: Seychelles's Young Artists Paint A Brighter Future - 28.08.12
Young Artists gathered at the Carrefour des Arts to spend some time partaking in the National Arts Council's (NAC) workshops for students. They are preparing for the Young Artists' Competition, which forms part of the upcoming annual Festival Creole in October. Our young artists will compete against other islands from the Indian Ocean Creole Diaspora, and stand in line to win prizes that will promote and nurture their creative talent. The theme of this year's programme is Biodiversity, and Ms. Vivienne Gonzalves, coordinator at NAC, explains the educational side of this creative exercise; before we start each workshop, we do a presentation explaining to the students about the topic itself, what's important, what's happening around it, so that they better grasp the topic, and then can [translate] it into paint. With Seychelles' vital (yet fragile) ecosystem and its wealth of biodiversity, the theme is an important one, which highlights the ability for art and creative expression to be a vehicle for social awareness. With the enthusiasm and talent shown by the participating artists, this year's Young Artists competition is set to be a great showing of our up and coming local talent.
