Mime art and puppetry exhibits students’ talent of Digital Advertising and Computer Graphics

ISLAMABAD (INP): In order to provide students of Digital Advertising and Computer Graphics an opportunity to showcase their unexplored talents as well as to promote the blend of local and modern western art namely puppetry and mime art, an art exhibition with the title of “Mime Art and Puppetry” was arranged by the Department of Mass Communication in National University of Modern Languages (NUML), Islamabad, today.

A wide range of art work including drawings in pastel and charcoal, leather, oil paintings, and posters were displayed by the young student artists while a thought provoking documentary “Puppet never dies” and heart touching mime performance by a student received a lot of applause from visitors comprising students, faculty members, heads, and deans of the different departments of the university.
The visitors appreciated the blend of traditional and modern art in which the student painters and artists through the use of different media projected the history, development and decline of Mime art and Puppetry in Pakistan, particularly and in the world, generally, an art once known to be a great source of entertainment and information for young and elderly people alike. Though the beautiful mime performance by Sohail Chaudhry, 4th Semester Mass Communication, was an academic project, it was an encouraging initiative by any student to promote and create awareness about the dying art. Talking on the occasion, Coordinator of the event Miss Amna Zulfiqar said that \”this exhibition is a project for the students of Digital Art and Graphic Designing in their final semester and it provides them an opportunity to exhibit, market what they have learnt during the studies and find the ways where they can implement it. This is also a way to lend our hands to create awareness about world\’s declining languages, art, culture and traditions through such exhibitions, she added. F.P. Report
