SPRING YOUTH: Painting - Art, Culture, Nature (Ages 8-12)

Course Description:     
In this class students with a passion for painting will learn a cultural style of painting called: Lippan handicraft which is a traditional fine art of Rajasthan and Gujarat's desert regions of India. 'Lippan' means 'to apply.' Camels, birds, trees, blooms, peacocks, and other nature-inspired motifs are depicted on the majority of houses using mud, thread, and mirrors. Mud and mirror work is mostly done by women from the Rabari ethnic group. Now that the mud-mirror work is accessible in frames/wooden panels, it has found its way into modern marketplaces and online-stores, where it has found a home as a wall décor in homes and offices. Students will learn about this style and create art pieces of their own.
