Insect Art and Model Expo: Creative Learning in Entomology

The Plant Health Club, the School of Agriculture, organized a unique event titled “Insect Art and Model Expo” on 19 November 2025. The program was held in the Entomology Laboratory, Civil Block, Room No. 2307, for one full day. The exhibition brought together insect models, charts, and creative art pieces, making the space lively and engaging for the students.

The aim of the expo was to help students understand insect morphology, taxonomy, and diversity in a more practical and enjoyable way. Instead of relying only on textbooks, the event encouraged students to learn through models, charts, and artistic displays. This approach was meant to strengthen their conceptual clarity, improve observation skills, and make learning more interactive.

The event was coordinated by Dr. P. Maheswara Reddy, Assistant Professor in the School of Agriculture. A total of 45 second year agriculture students participated with great enthusiasm. Each student contributed actively, whether by preparing models, arranging charts, or presenting creative ideas. Their teamwork and dedication were clearly visible in the way they performed. The atmosphere was filled with energy, and the participants showed genuine interest in exploring entomology through this innovative platform.

This hands‑on method helped them connect theory with practice. The importance of the activity lay in its ability to make complex scientific concepts simple and visual. It also encouraged creativity, collaboration, and confidence among the students, turning the classroom learning into an engaging experience.

The key takeaway for the participants was a deeper understanding of insect morphology and taxonomy. They realized that learning through models and art not only clarified concepts but also made the subject more enjoyable. Many students expressed that the expo boosted their interest in entomology and gave them a fresh perspective on how science can be learned in creative ways.

At the end of the program, the organizers expressed heartfelt gratitude to all the participants for their active involvement. They appreciated the students’ efforts and enthusiasm, noting that such events enrich academic learning and inspire curiosity. The Plant Health Club promised to continue organizing similar activities to keep students motivated and connected to their subjects in meaningful ways.
