Outdoor sketching workshop for children

Art India Foundation organised an outdoor sketching workshop in South Mumbai on Sunday 7th June 2015. Participants of all age groups participated with great enthusiasm. It was amazing to see how participants who had not done any sketching before, could achieve it in just a few hours. The workshop was conducted by Mumbai based artist Chitra Vaidya. The workshop began with an introduction by Milind Sathe about Art India Foundation and Indiaart apart from the projects and initiatives undertaken in the past, especially for children. Chitra Vaidya talked about sketching, the tools for sketching and the approach to sketching. She demonstrated the techniques, especially how to do rapid sketching.

The participants were asked to list the objects in the vicinity which they would like to sketch and were asked to start. They were keen and eager and it was surprising to see the speed at which they went about creating sketches of their favourite subjects.
