Every senior speaker also shared their own experiences in the art field. The session was followed by a Q & A session with our guest speakers. They also unanimously agreed that our Pakistani Artists and Art History should be included in the art curriculum and students should be encouraged to take Fine Arts from junior school level. Fine Arts should be taught to boys as well as girls as it should not be limited to the girls only. They also emphasized that Art cannot be learned, only techniques can be taught in the schools, they encouraged the young audience to do art as every person has an artist inside themselves.
