Demonstration

This was the demonstration by the Visual Art faculty for the same subject of making a painting using basic shapes [circle, square, triangle].
Students are taught, the use of primary and secondary colors and also the techniques of using acryllics and oils.

multiplicity

This is usually the first assignment of the visual art 201[advanced]course. Students learn to paint either in oil or acryllic. Many compositions are made by each student, using a circle, square and triangle. This is to motivate them to think lateral/ divergent/in multiples.
This 'multiplicity' is the first step to lateral thinking or creative thinking.

When the works are put up, they can relate to words like 'harmony/ balance/ rhythm' better.

The course is an endeavor to inculcate these traits in the students.And am happy that they are understanding it well.

Howard Gardner on Art Education

"Art education is too important to be left to any one group, even that group designated as 'art educators'. Rather, art education needs to be a cooperative enterprise involving artists, teachers, administrators, researchers and the students themselves."

The 'Magic' of water colors

I usually paint with my head phones on . I could not believe that though the music was loud and clear right close to my ears....as i was engrossed in the water colors, I could not HEAR ANYTHING! I was very surprised by the 'magic' these colors possess and the way they are capable of 'drowning' us into them. It is fun!

The difference

The differenc ein the visual art class and the other classes is that in the other classes we just 'take-and-take' but here we GIVE and GIVE! ie we are constantly creating something. it FEELS very good!
