In a bustling world, where schedules are often packed and time is a luxury, finding moments to delve into creativity can feel like a distant dream. However, amidst the chaos, I chose art and skill life class of all the other optional classes—that not only rekindled my passion for creativity but also deepened my understanding and appreciation for various art forms.

The class is a melting pot of artistic expression, offering a diverse range of activities that spanned from crafting terracotta pots to mastering intricate Gond art. Each session promised a new adventure, a chance to explore different techniques and mediums under the guidance of Priyanka and Neha.

One of the highlights of the course was working with terracotta pots. As I molded the clay with my hands, shaping it into unique forms, I felt a profound connection to the earth and its raw beauty. The process of sculpting and painting these pots awakened a sense of mindfulness within me, grounding me in the present moment..

Overall, my experience in the art and skill life class was nothing short of transformative. It not only honed my technical skills but also enriched my soul, igniting a passion for creativity that continues to burn bright. As I reflect on the journey, I am grateful to Neha and Priyanka who helped and guided me to explore the boundless realms of art and deepen my understanding of its profound impact on me.

Engaging in the art and skills life class provided me with a diverse and enriching experience. Exploring various forms of artistic expression, from lippan and tissue art to canvas and wall painting, allowed me to tap into my creativity in unique ways. The fusion of traditional techniques like anemone art with modern elements like plastic canvas bags showcased the versatility of artistic endeavors. Additionally, the inclusion of cooking as a skill added a practical dimension to the course. Overall, the class broadened my perspective on creativity.

Reflecting on my learning experience in art and craft, I find myself profoundly enriched by the diverse range of activities I’ve engaged in. Pottery provided a tactile experience, allowing me to mold and shape clay into unique forms, teaching me patience and precision. Lipan art introduced me to the intricate world of indigenous designs, fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity and storytelling through art. Tissue art challenged me to think creatively, transforming simple materials into vibrant and dynamic compositions, igniting my imagination.

Wall painting allowed me to explore the intersection of art and space, teaching me how to utilize color, shape, and perspective to evoke emotions and create atmospheres. Making bags provided me with practical skills in sewing and design, while also encouraging sustainability and resourcefulness through upcycling materials. Finally, cooking became a sensory journey, blending flavors and textures to create culinary delights, teaching me the importance of experimentation and attention to detail.

Overall, my journey in art and craft has been a holistic one, not only honing my technical skills but also nurturing my creativity, cultural awareness, and practical abilities. Each activity has left its unique imprint on my learning journey, shaping me into a more well-rounded and adaptable individual both in and out of the artistic realm.

Arts & Skills..

For me Arts is all about Portraying who you are.
Sometimes Messy and sometimes beautiful. ❤
This is what I am too.
Learning to work with pen, paper, colour, threads, mirrors, clay is equal to learning to take various responsibilities of life.
These classes has helped me to have a vision of a product and than work accordingly to make it reality. Just like I create small goals of life and try to achieve them.
Here are the list of beautiful art works that I learnt during these classes.

In the realm of artistic exploration, there exists a captivating fusion of tradition, innovation, and personal expression. Recently, I had the enriching opportunity to delve into various art styles and skills through a captivating class. This endeavor proved to be a transformative experience, unveiling the profound beauty and therapeutic essence nestled within artistic pursuits.Among them, two really stood out to me: Lipan art and pottery.

Lipan Art:

Lipan art wasn’t just about making pretty pictures; it was also about understanding the rich history and meaning behind each stroke.

Pottery: Creating Beauty from Clay

Working with clay to make pottery was another highlight. There’s something therapeutic about shaping clay with your hands and seeing it transform into something beautiful and functional. It’s like connecting with nature in a whole new way.

Painting on Walls: Surprisingly Therapeutic

Wasn’t sure what to expect from the painting on walls session, but it turned out to be really calming. With each brushstroke, I felt more relaxed and in tune with my surroundings. It was like painting away stress and worries.

The facilitators of the class were amazing! They made learning fun and exciting, and their enthusiasm rubbed off on all of us. Their guidance and support helped us explore new skills and express ourselves creatively. We’re really grateful for their awesome teaching!

I’m delighted to have joined art skills classes, initially feeling naive and anxious about where to start. However, under the guidance of Priyanka ma’am and Neha ma’am, I created various art pieces such as tissue paper art and lippan art, with the latter becoming my favorite, adorning my home as a unique nameplate. Additionally, learning wall painting was an incredible experience, unlike anything I’ve encountered before. Overall, the journey felt like a roller coaster ride, with initial uncertainties transforming into awe-inspiring final products.

Life class continues to be a fun, philosophical ride. Having finished with the 7 habits, we had Love class this time, where we learnt about the types of pain (legitimate and illegitimate), as well as discipline, and what real love looks like.

My key takeaways was how to build discipline realistically – not to rush everything at once, but to take things one day at a time, and being consistent. I also got to know of a recommended self-help book – “The Road Less Travelled” by Scott Peck, and I am going to check it out at the earliest.

I like how we were set up with a random person from the class, and got to know them better. My conversations with Mahmood sir were illuminating, and we shared conversation about life and world, and I learnt to consider new perspectives which I appreciate.

I also appreciate the potluck as it brought us closer, a lighthearted moment in between the sessions.

The movie served as a CFU for all our learnings – as well as being a valuable experience for what NOT to do in some situations 😛
