The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be the 22nd FIFA Worl Cup, an International soccer tournament which is scheduled to take place in Qatar in 2022. Qatar will be the first Arab country to host the World Cup and the first time it is held in the Middle East region. The tournament will involve 32 national teams, including that of the host nation, and will consist of a total of 64 games.

 

“In line with Qatar National Vision, Qatar has been contributing in the promotion of sport in the world and in using it as means of communication and of strengthening ties between different nations and peoples by hosting multiple regional and international sports events in recent years. This led the sports infrastructure to be comprehensively and increasingly developed, allowing Qatar to become an international sports hub.”

 

Inspired by Qatar National Vision, VIS High School Art students designed an Installation for the National Day. Their display included shimmering clay hand sculptures meticulously created by the students. The boys also designed 3D paper footballs using 20 folded paper circles and gluing them together which they profoundly painted in colors of Qatar flag.

Visual Art is offered as a High School elective at VIS. The students were extremely excited to work on this art project as it not only reflected their patriotic spirit but also demonstrated their love for The Emir, Shiekh Tameem Bin Hamad Al Thani who as a member of International Olympic Committee, heads Doha bid for 2020 Olympic games.The students proudly exhibited their artworks adding their beloved Emir’s picture and Qatar Flags adding to the VIS National Day festivities this year!

Fine arts enrich our students’ lives and help them express themselves in creative ways!
