Research and art exhibition cum convocation I witnessed.

There are occasions that do not come regularly they come once in a while and because they are not the regular events, it attracts better and bigger attention.

The university of Port Harcourt since on Thursday December 1 have large number of visitors trooping in the the Academic environment where it on Thursday had a Research and Exhibition of the 33rd the combined convocation ceremony.

What is art.

The work of art as we know is just more than drawing and painting. Anything done with great touch of excellence for me is art. Hence singing, dancing, writing, speaking, running, diving, cooking and more is art.

This piece of clay work got my attention , though I didn't go to buy but to feed my eyes since and take pictures and make my weekend eventful.
I sighted a beautiful tie dye female garment, neatly made.

Different Nigerian art work.

Nigeria is notable for her numerous art work and the bronze work is one that for many centuries had given the country a big name. And the bronze work came top on the exhibition as the photos below agrees.

This piece of work literally represent the major ethnic groups of Nigeria.

Art is said to have a thousand words and I let you make your meaning of this work.

Painting 🎨 never came last in the exhibition.

When colors are used to play beauty is created. Though I may not have got a very clear shoot since I only snapped using my mobile phone and the camera might not be the best but I'm sure I will improve. However,here are some paintings that got me thinking and admiring the quality content created.

Wrestling is a traditional event in most parts of Nigeria and it's basically for entertainment and for training of the warriors and able bodied men and women.

Tying of headgear which is known in Nigeria as gele is one unique outfit for Nigerian women on an important occasion while on the traditional outfit.

As a scholar of religion and cultural studies I couldn't miss this research and exhibition where the vice chancellor and host of other Academy of staff learning is the goal.

This year's conversation is one I couldn't miss because the next set would be mine and I also had the opportunity to meet with my senior comrades though that would be for another day.

The two best graduating students from the department of engineering (applied and industrial physics) I met them in when I was in my first year. They are very determined, focused and today success is achieved.
