Little hands on Art

Little hands on Art ...

"The creation of beauty is Art"!

This month has been action packed for me. Finally I'm out the assessments and all set to rock my summer holidays and to tide over the unbearable heat of the summer months with my bird. Finally will have some time to work on my blog :) Before I start posting my recent tours, travels and DIY's, I would like to share some wonderful art work by my school kids displaying their talents in various art forms. It gives a great privilege to announce that on 27th of this month our school inaugurated the UNESCO club, wherein the beautiful art & craft work made by the students were on display and was much appreciated by the honorable Chief guest.

The pots displaying the Warli art form which is in regular use since the Paleolithic Period or the Stone Age which began around 2 million years ago. Its a tribal art mostly practiced by the tribals or adhivasis. Earlier these paintings were done on rocks, pillars, caves, seals, etc but in modern time its taken over in many different surfaces. Basic geometrical shapes and graphics such as circle, square, rectangle, triangle, etc are used while painting the scenes. These paintings generally depicted hunting, farming, celebrations, household activities etc. Its was wonderful to see your children indulging in these form of art as it helps them to understand the concepts practically, and would help them to retain them for a longer period of time.

Few students even tried their hands on Mosaic art and the outcome were extremely good. Way to go kids ... Being a teacher we should understand the importance of a child's creativity and do inspire children to develop love for the art and boost their confidence. Apart from mosaic various art forms like glass paintings, clay modelling, T-shirt paintings, paper mache, etc were also on display. This event showcased the activities we did round the year with our lovely kids. 

Mosaic is a pattern produced by assembling small pieces of colored glass pieces of stones, tiles, glass,etc. Its been an incredible art form that has fascinated people for centuries. These tiny colored glass pieces are small in size, but leaves a big impact on all...

With complex designs these tiny colored glasses make masterpieces to be treasured. Mosaic tiles are available in all colors these days and are so much fun and look wonderful beyond words!

Hand painted T-shirts by our young students expressing their love and craze for art. This can be an ultimate way to reuse an old T-shirt and would definitely spark some inspiration. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this exhibition... What about you? Lets motivate such talented kids by giving a like or leaving a comment... :) Thanks for joining ...
