Global Art Centre, Bowenpally, conducted an Independence Day creative workshop for school children from Pallavi Model School and Obul Reddy School.

The workshop was attended by an enthusiastic bunch of children all geared up to put in their creative best.

Namrata Mukherjee, product head of Global Art, explains, “Creativity is the ability to think out of box. To be able to stand out creativly is important,” encouraging children to come up with striking work at the workshop.

Write ups too

The children were shown how to make face masks after which they got busy with crayons and cardboard as they designed masks of various national leaders.

They were then asked to read out a write up on the leader and draft a slogan of that particular leader. The children had plenty of choice but the most popular were leaders Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagat Singh.

Purmeet of Std. III, Pallavi Model School chose Gandhi. She came up with a vibrant Gandhi face mask and wore it and recited his slogan after sketching a brief life history of the Mahatma.

Rupadesh, a Std. IV student, also chose Gandhiji and read aloud, “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
