~Celebration of Art~
New Delhi, 20th September, 2017: Pearl Academy organized a workshop and interaction with well-known artist Ruchin Soni at their Noida campus. Soni, who has a special interest in street art and murals, shared with the students his experiences in doing various street art projects.
“Being a street artist, I take my work as a responsibility as it reaches out to the masses directly. But at the same time, I enjoy my work and the idea behind street art is to share a social message with the public,” the artist said during the workshop. The highlight of the workshop was the career advise by Ruchin to the students. He also encouraged the students on opting street art as a career option only if they are deeply inclined and passionate towards this kind of art.
