KIDS’ ART ACTIVITY ON APRIL 11& APRIL 25, 2015


BABY ELEPHANT

 
This is a baby warli elephant playing with a ball. This art is just a trial to create an image of the basic shape of an elephant’s anatomy among kids. Moreover kids love colors as well as fond of playing with ball. So I felt kids will be able to easily relate themselves in this art   & will love to fill colors in the baby elephant. The intent behind the idea of this art was to engage kids in an imaginative, colorful & fun filled session.



PASSIONATE KIDS

 
The session of “baby elephant” continued two Saturdays. All the kids filled colors in the baby elephant with lot of interest. During this session some talented kids arrived to attend the activity. They were filling colors very steadily, without putting it out of line. They did the coloring with lot of patience & care.

I am very glad to feel that two kids visited VALA particularly to attend the kids’ art activity .Both the kids attended the first session .Then they liked the art activity so much that they again attended the baby elephant session.

One of the two kids framed the art done by her in the first session. First day the kid was very shy to fill colors. But on her second session, she did the coloring with much more enthusiasm & freedom.

The other kid’s energy & passion to do the coloring was same in both the sessions. During her second session, she tried to do something different i.e. she filled colors in the ball as per her own choice, instead of following the sample sheet. This shows her creative mind.
Therefore, the kids’ art activity at VALA Art Centre is an opportunity for me to understand the creative mind of kids more precisely.

BORDERS OF INDIAN FOLK ART

Image
Today, while  I was just browsing images of various Indian folk art paintings ,one thing pop up in my mind that as a viewer we always focus on the main subject of a folk art.But other than the main subject ,painting also has another part i.e. it’s border. Border of an Indian Folk art painting is also as beautiful as the subject of painting.Moreover, it gives a complete look to it.Diversity also flows in the patterns of border of all folk paintings . Here I have done a rough sketch in order  to show the difference between all Indian Folk art,through its  borders.

JAGANNATH

Image
12" x 12" art on canvas in acrylic & pen Description : The word JAGANNATH literally means “ Lord of the Universe” & is a deity worshiped in regional traditions of Hinduism in India. He is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. His main temple named as JAGANNATH DHAM is located at holy city Puri (an age-old city in State of Odisha), in India. Every day many pilgrims visit this temple just to see one glance of Lord Jagannath's sacred idol made of sandalwood. If anybody visits Lord Jagannath's temple, one will see mural art on every wall & pillar. When artisans started doing this mural art on “patta” means canvas, then it became PATTACHITRA . So this way famous traditional art of Odisha i.e. Pattachitra evolved. This art form is known for its intricate details as well as mythological narratives and folktales inscribed in it. My painting is also a Pattachitra art, which depicts the holy face of Lord JAGANNATH.

DANCING FISHES

Image
Hi friends  .I have come up again with another version of fish art. This painting is another result of my love  towards madhubani painting & gond art.The patterns in border & background is based upon madhubani art.While the dancing fishes are designed as per gond art. I have been doing painting since childhood.But I started applying these folk art patterns  into my paintings very recently & which gave a new look to my art.These folk paintings are amazing .They don’t follow the grammar of fine art because folk artists are not trained in fine art.They follow their own style & create incredible paintings .They develop their style from their day to day life . Now let’s examine the patterns more precisely. The magic of gond art lies in beautiful patterns created with dots & lines.      In folk art , tails of fishes are also designed with intricate patterns. Hence ,this is my another trial to enhance the rich culture o...
