A lot of us are driven by ambition and it is the ones who
take this quality and turn situations around them into opportunities that
ultimately shine from amongst the crowds. A great opportunity to see these ambitions
and efforts has been provided to us by the students of the department of Visual
Studies, University of Karachi.
This department provides degrees in many majors including
bachelors in Architecture, Textile Design, and Industrial design, Communication
Design, Media, Islamic Arts and Fine Arts. Students enrolled for these degrees
spend their first year learning the basics; hence, the first year is called the
foundation year, the year that lays the foundation for all the majors included.
Since it is the first year of higher education, students
start and end their semesters with dreams of success and accomplishments. what
was not expected from these students was the immense amount of effort they put
in, in an exhibition at the end of their first semester to display and offer on
sale all their work and efforts.

Upon entering the hall one can feel the vast amount of hard
work put into this little ‘home-made’ exhibition. The self-made lamps by the
entire batch provide the mood lighting of this event. These lamps are made from
self-made paper and bamboo sticks and are exclusively designed by the students
themselves. Some of these, you may be pleased to know are also on sale!

A stage on the farther side of the hall exhibits carved
spheres of plaster and the wall behind them hosts plenty of masks of various
designs, a shelf alongside displays a variety of bookmarks. You may however, also
come across things that were not meant to be an assignment. One student, called
Ehsan. E, had designed and built a chair along with his brother that is
gorgeous enough to be sold many times over.
So those of you, you haven’t yet been there, enjoy this article and visit their page on Facebook to catch up with what you might have missed and what you may still be able to find. And from those of us who have already been there,
here is a Hats Off to you guys who put
in so much effort! ‘Great job Guys!’
