Beauty simplified. “Ikebana Competition”
Ikebana is the Japanese
art of flower arrangement. It is a disciplined art form in which the arrangement
is a living thing where nature and humanity are brought together. Ikebana often
emphasis towards shape, line and form, natural shapes and graceful lines. What distinguishes Ikebana from other approach such as “flower arrangement is its asymmetrical
form, simplicity and minimalism. It is steeped in the philosophy of developing closeness
with nature. One basic premise of Ikebana is the idea that the arrangement symbolizes
heaven, mankind and earth, these three elements, each of which represented by
different elements in the arrangement.
To make students aware of this art form
and strengthened their bond with nature and the God, a House Wise Ikebana
competition was held in the school on 27th of August for classes
(VIII-X). Each house had six participants. This provided the opportunity to
explore students’ aesthetic sense.The Sahibzada Fateh Singh house was announced first.
