It's a lazy Sunday afternoon; the weather is way too hot to be called winter; the annual college fest 'Fiesta' has just got over - and still the students of IPS Academy are out in full force, enthusiastic and hungry for more excitement.
A team of Fine Arts students take on a new challenge - to make the largest painting in Indore. Young students paint on the 111 feet by 5 feet canvas in brisk strokes, celebrating trees, clouds and the soil. They hope to auction the painting after it is finished. A few metres away, Veena Trivedi and her junior Akshit paint on the back of project sheets, and from the sea of blue and green and handprints emerges Mother Earth to keep an eye on humankind. Their friends, in the meanwhile, stitch fallen leaves together to decorate a large newspaper-stuffed sack which to them represented the globe. Their faculty head Amit Ganjoo utilizes construction waste to create his vision of green buildings - a beautiful mesh of metal disks and iron rods, lit up by green lights.

"We feel that art brings out nature's beauty in all its purity. With our work, we want to connect with the world we live in, and increase awareness about going green," shares Veena.
