Then you are our participant!
You don’t have to be an artist. In our previous workshops, we had software engineers, air hostesses, architecture students, HR heads, homemakers, and bakers. You have never touched a painting brush before? We had many of you too in our workshops.
What is the canvas size I take home?
Apart from the beautiful 12″ x 18″ painting of a lotus pond, you will take home some authentic elements and techniques too. Our offering is not to make you an expert mural artist in 2 days. We will be introducing you to a few elements from the vast ocean of Kerala Mural Painting. Each element will be explained with usage, meaning, and placement. Your final piece will be authentic and truly YOURS. No tracing involved. You will know every line and colour, and why it is there. For those who are interested to pursue this in-depth, we will have follow-up workshops in the future.
What is Kerala Mural Art? (For the newcomers)
Kerala Mural Painting is a heritage art form for storytelling. The artist meditates on a shloka, a poem or a story situation and translates the gist into lines and shapes onto the wall or a canvas. In our 2 day workshop, we invite you to get initiated to this art form. Kerala Mural Art is considered to be a way of meditating with lines and colours. Irrespective of your background, it will be helpful for you in more than one way.
What will be the structure of the workshop
Understanding a few elements used in a Kerala Mural Painting. Drawing them with a pencil and then with a brush. Learning the colouring sequence and the rationale behind the same. Exploring a little history and context of this art form. Knowing how to use the elements in today’s context without compromising authenticity. You will also be taking a small step in conserving this art form by getting initiated into this. You will be storing a tiny bit of this heritage by learning it! What is a better way to conserve this heritage knowledge!
