1.  Art therapy Workshop (7th July 2024)

On 07 July 2024, Ms. Asha Ma’am  conducted a Creative Expression & Art Assessment Workshop for 38 SuMargadarshak students, aimed at assessing art skills, fostering creativity, and introducing Indian folk art. The workshop included three engaging sessions:

1. Session 1:
   Students explored creativity through themed artwork on nature, emotions, and dreamland. They were also divided into groups for a creativity test, where they created short stories with illustrations based on random words. This session encouraged collaboration and sparked laughter with funny and imaginative stories.
2. Session 2:
   The second session introduced Gond Art, inspired by Jangarh Singh Shyam, a renowned artist from the Gond tribe. Students learned about the vibrant colors and dot patterns characteristic of Gond art and then created their own designs. They also participated in a quiz to reinforce their understanding of Gond art.
3. Session 3:
   In the final session, students applied their knowledge of Gond art by creating their own pieces using art supplies. This allowed them to experiment with new ideas and patterns, producing beautiful and expressive artwork.

The workshop was a success, providing students with a deeper understanding of Gond art and offering them a fun, hands-on experience in creative expression.
