Colour

Picking up from the texture class from last time , I thought let’s put a discipline in training. The while making texture class was playful this time I wanted to take that away and introduce a session where they know how to use brush. How to manage colours. What the colour in bottle made of. The elegance of holding a brush and why we hold it like that. So we gave them a space to fill. Which could have been quite boring on paper but we made it interesting by turning in into a challenge.

As expected the clumsy nature of many automatically came in control. They understood the importance of brush tip.

When the mixing was over I introduced making mark with a brush. Like a line and a circle. I believe in real world where they all will have to struggle for a job, if only they knew calligraphy their chances of getting a job goes high. So while making these marks with brush I showed them how can these marks unable them to do calligraphy. One of the students took it well and started mimicking my brush strokes. The way he holds brush i know he has had training. He is interested and can grow faster.

Mixing colour was new to many and they found it an interesting thing. They do struggle with vocabulary or colour names because most names are in english.
