Bandaging the Tree - An Innovative Art Initiative by B.D.M. International School

The vision behind the art initiative is to bring to light the apathy at large towards the environment and to create awareness of the sorry state of one of our city’s silent warriors… Our Trees!. They are testified to be living organs, and are hurt if damaged due to various reasons, be it breaking or damaging of branches or any other part. The pain they suffer is not felt, and slowly they wilt to death with passage of time causing terrible damage to the environment. The art initiative is to create awareness about the pain the trees suffer & the importance of nursing them back to health, thus saving the environment from further damage. Students of the school selected trees around the premises reasons and bandaged them with a white cloth with red color paint sprinkled on the middle, to drive & highlight a key environment message.

According to the School Principal, Mrs. Vijaya Chaudhuri, “In today’s world, preoccupation with digital media, internet and mobile phones, has become a big barrier between children and nature. We have noticed that most urban children are ignorant about matters related to the environment, which in the long run will be very damaging for the same. This, of course, is the case as most parents are too busy trying to provide good lives for their families” The thought of organising the initiative came from the above, she added.
