Reading and Reflection Nepal: workshop day 2 = colors.love.jackie.sneha

Workshop day #2

SO SO SO EXCITING! This was a work to just let our fabulous forty try out different mediums they could possibly create their final work with. We set up 5 work stations, each with a different art medium. We had color pencils, pastels, crayons, paint and cut and paste station. It was so much fun. I tried really hard to not even scribble anything with the brand new colors. I didn’t want to distract the kids in any way. But gosh, it was so exciting letting the sixth graders use brand new colors and tell them they can use it however they want. Art is a privelege not provided so often in most schools.here .But even though I went to one of the best schools in Nepal and we had weekly art classes, breaking into a new set of colors was always always so exciting. I imagined the excitement would be of the same sort with the kids and it was. I always treated new colors very special even as they turned old and short. I hope they respect colors and making art with them the same way.

 

With love,

Colorness.

P.S. - it was a wonderful photo day for me; perfect lighting, happy people and lots of colors
