Gond Art Work Shop (Spic Macay)

"Art is an expression of ideas and imagination on paper through colors".

This is what the principal, teachers and students of The Heritage School experienced during this Gond Art workshop organised by Spic Macay. Mr. Gariba Singh Tekan and Mrs. Premi Bai were our teachers of the day. All students interested in the activity submitted their names to their class teachers. All the children assembled near the Jackfruit tree in our school campus and were really excited to participate in the Gond Art workshop. Our Principal Mrs. B. Gill was also very excited to learn about Gond Arts.

    Mr. Tekan taught us different techniques of holding the brush and using colors. He also told us that the Gond Arts of Madhya Pradesh is known as 'Gondi Bhatti Chitra'. It is a painting done on mud walls with natural colors. Mr. Tekan has taken an initiative to keep this form of art alive. All the students learnt this form of art with great enthusiasm. The children were inspired by the workshop.

                Mr. Tekan went to each and every child and taught them individually. This workshop lasted for three days. We requested our Principal to organize more such workshops in the future. It was a great experience which made us learn something different.
