Teaching Fellows 2020-21 (First Phase)
Welcome to the exhibition of artworks by children and young people from Udayan Care, Karm Marg and Rainbow Homes!
These paintings, drawings, booklets, puppets and other creations were all made over workshops led by Teaching Fellows online, during the COVID-19 lockdown. Even online, it was amazing to see how much sharing, fun, exchange of art skills and storytelling was possible. While the world closed up and schools were shut, these art sessions opened many windows.
We hope you enjoy this exhibition and do leave your feedback for the young creators -

SPACE EXPLORATION
WORKSHOPS IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS USING ART
Over the course of Pragya’s workshop series, participants from Udayan Care homes learnt perspective drawing, crafting objects like rockets and installations made out of simple paper and cardboard, composition and abstraction; through the course of their workshop series a common thread of science learning and astrophysics tied everything together. This led to imaginative explorations of outer space, aliens, new planets and what those could be imagined to be. Pragya brought in artists and resources such as looking at the works of Kandinsky, exploring soundscapes on the NASA website, books like The Little Prince and even films like Star Wars.
'It was fulfilling to see the participants break through traditional modes of thinking to express radical ideas for
their novel universes.
Their thoughts on the problems in contemporary society and solutions for a more utopian universe was a marker of success. There was also significant development in expressing abstract concepts as we moved from pattern making for planets terrains to painting sounds from outer
space and visualising dark matter.'
- Pragya Bhargava
