Dr. Lamia Abu Zeid expressed her deep pride in the high standard demonstrated by the faculty’s students in their graduation projects, explaining that the work presented reflects a spirit of creativity, seriousness, and the ability to leverage scientific knowledge to produce applied projects that meet the needs of society and the aspirations of the labor market.
Dr. Zainab Al-Sharif added that the exhibition included mural paintings of drawing and photography, the most prominent of which was a painting representing the tragedy of the Palestinian people, and another representing Sohag women from the Pharaonic era to the modern era, as well as three-dimensional artwork made of different materials such as wood.
The exhibition featured sculptures made of metal, leather, and textiles, as well as fieldwork in ceramics and sculpture.
The exhibition also featured a special section for projects by deaf and hard-of-hearing students using various materials, such as fabric, resin, and ceramics.
Dr. Heba Abdel Mohsen explained that the students of the Home Economics Department presented a group of healthy, low-calorie pastries, which were prepared using innovative methods based on the use of dried vegetables and fruits, and the use of grains and legumes as complete or partial alternatives to wheat flour, which confirms nutritional awareness and the trend towards sustainable health.
This makes these pastries suitable for all age groups, including individuals with special health conditions.
The Home Economics Department projects also included artistic handicrafts in the art of macramé, crochet, embroidery, and fashion design for various occasions, in addition to the implementation of beautiful paintings in Arabic calligraphy using sirma threads
and other products that highlight the students’ technical and artistic skills, which qualify them to enter the job market and embark on entrepreneurial journeys.
