During the activities ( "Following the Footsteps of Mahatma") held at the ICC on October 3rd 2009, in Suriname in the honour of Mahatma Gandhi’s 140th birth anniversary a group of art students held a demonstration of portrait drawing under the guidance of Mr. Ruben Karsters.
The group of students consisted of Sharen-Vess Schaap, Kristina Taylor, Vynantia Nandhlal, Jason Hoppy and Marina Sew-Atjon. The students’ all started with the same drawing of Mahatma Gandhi and worked hard to give the portrait their own touch.
The portrait demonstration was accompanied by a photographic exhibition created by the AlphaMax students Vijoya Taylor, Marciano Proeve and Marina Sew-Atjon under the guidance of Mr. S. Taylor. The photographic exhibition consisted of about sixty photographs depicting the life and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi.
The events also included a sculpture exhibition and demonstration of sculpting Gandhi (George Ramjiawansingh & Mr Krishnapersad Khedoe).
