We are pleased to inform you that we have partnered with The Bangalore School to host Fortis Colorothon Season 2.
Art has a magical ability to invigorate our emotions and our minds. And it doesn’t have to be hanging in the louver to do so. Much of the art that inspires is produced at a local level, capturing the spirit and richness of our community. So let’s continue to color together and to help each other to be our best for the World Heart Day.
Addressing the curtain raiser press conference here today Ms. Usha Mohan, Founder Director, The Bangalore School said “Excellence in early childhood believes in honing the creative and imaginative skills in the kids. TBS lets the imagination soar high and Colorothon is the right platform for kids and adults to express their feelings.
Speaking on this event, Mr. Karthik Rajagopal, Regional Director-South, Fortis Hospitals said “These hours dedicated to art will transcend all barriers of language and physical abilities. It is guided by our emotions and therefore a simple way to relaxation and an opening of our senses. Through this 1.5 hours dedicated to painting, we are providing people, irrespective of age and ability, a common platform of expression.â€
Addressing media person, Mr. Kishore Joseph, Director – Breathe Entertainment, who conceptualized this whole event along with his team said, “Our moods and daily life are best depicted in colors and emotions onto a single piece of paper. Art has always cut across inhibitions and allows people to be their true selves. Choosing World Heart Day for the event is our way of attempting to bring people together.
“We hope that this season provides the people an opportunity to think about the living with the Healthy heart, by expressing their inspiration from nature’s bounty. At the same time, we believe that the efforts to protecting the heart will be further encouraged through the appreciation of such Creative workâ€Â added Kishore Joseph.
“This is the only event where people participation is appreciated right from child, mother father and In-laws to sit together and draw, many hidden talents are brought to the light. Mother In law & Daughter In law realize each ones hidden talent. This is the only event and platform where you can see cops sit down and paint instead of monitoring the crowdâ€Â he said.
Adding to the fervor of the event Ms Bani Anand, Founder & Director, Hairline International, said, “The Colorothon event aims to make a better world, and what better way to express it than drawing, painting and colours.
