Mysore :

It is a known fact that Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts (CAVA) is known for bringing out creative minds. Students of first and second year foundation course of Bachelor of Fine Arts had recently been to a study tour of Badami, Aihole, Pattadakallu, Bijapur and Hampi. While the first year students had been to Hampi, the second year students visited other places.

CAVA students who had been on a 10-day study tour have created the magic on canvas by bringing the historic monuments alive using water colours. Some of the paintings displayed include Durga Temple of Aihole, Mahakuta at Badami, paintings of Lord Vishnu and Lord Narasimha, Stone Mantap at Badami, Stone Chariot and Veerupaksha Temple of Hampi and others.

The panting replicating the temple at Badami had the dominance of red colour as the structures in Badami are constructed using red stones, while, the paintings of Hampi were a little brownish in colour depicting the exact colours of the monuments. The exhibition will be open for public viewing from 10 am to 5 pm at CAVA premises till Jan. 13.
