Children at their creative best: Workshop helps hone skills

FOR EAST Delhi children it was an unforgettable experience. Like every year Kalakriti School of Art & Culture organised a summer workshop for the kids in Chitra Vihar.

Children in the age group of four to 15 years took part in the event. About 35 children from all over Delhi participated. The workshop was a learning experience as kids got to know the different aspects of drawing.

Clay articles moulded by children on the potter's wheel as well as by hand were displayed. The children participated in painting, paper craft, papier mâché, clay modeling etc.

"We hold such workshops every year and the basic idea is to bring to fore and hone the hidden talents of these kids. The more the options that children get, the more expressive they become. It is also a way to rteach them about nature and environment." Says Kirti B. Sarkar of Kalakriti.

A large number of people visited the exhibition and lauded the kid's efforts. The chief guest was Dr. Hem Bhatnagar Ex-Principal of Jankidevi Mahila College.

The children were given certificate of participation.
