Clay Sculpting and Modern Art

Infusing ideas and life through lumps of clay can be really fascinating for maker and onlooker alike. As a kid of five, Malini remembers longingly looking spell bound at artisans’ works, wondering if the clay would be as pliable when she tries her hand at the wheel.  “Forbidden to play in the mud, let alone enjoy at the Marina beach, I  earned the displeasure of my dad, a strict disciplinarian  and stickler for cleanliness, who resented my entering home with mud patches on my legs, as it would make the home dirty” she sighs.  

Malini’s passion for mud and clay stuck on. “Seems like a dream come true after four decades” she says smilingly.

Malini, who is also the founder of Artistic Pottery Training Academy will be conducting this workshop on Modern Art with Clay at Lets Do Something on Oct 24th.

She will also provide an overview of each step of preparing the clay and its composition. You can let your imagination fire and create Art ... your own Art under her able guidance. A potter’s success in moulding the clay according to his/ her visualization, would, to a large extent, depend on its texture, composition and proportion used. That apart, the firing process using a kiln at the right temperature gets the desired result.

Japanese Art of Origami - A Perfect Hobby for Kids

... absolutely no cutting or messy pasting required

All of us have been mesmerised at one time or the other with the interesting and beautiful shapes that paper can be crafted into. Origami - The Japaneseis are of folding paper, is a fun and creative hobby using paper to create things.

You'll be pleased to know that Origami is also one of the most popular hobbies out there, and one which is also inexpensive. What makes origami even more appealing is the fact that it originated almost 500 years ago in Japan or perhaps in China. Interestingly enough its birthplace remains a mystery although Japan his however credited with developing the art of origami. Even though it is believed that origami was originally a
pastime, today it has become a serious art.

Essentially, origami revolves around folding pieces of paper numerous times in order to create models ranging from the simplest forms of airplane or flowers to highly detailed spaceships. The extent to which a person decides to take their hobby depends entirely on how enthusiastic they are; Be warned though, because while origami may start off as a hobby, it can soon become an obsession, particularly once you become advanced enough to begin designing and developing your own works of art. 

What many people don't realize is that those who choose origami as a hobby are in fact choosing something which has an almost limitless number of benefits, apart from the fact that they are unknowingly developing their skills and their level of concentration and creativity. Interestingly enough, people realized back in the 1800’s that origami for kids is a perfect hobby for young children because it not only teaches hand and eye coordination, but it also helps a child to develop a sense of concentration and learn to follow step-by-step instructions. Furthermore, it helps a child to develop their creative skills and it also helps the child to relax. Considering that even children are nowadays subjected to hectic lifestyles, origami provides a child with an opportunity to sit quietly and peacefully while making paper figures, and this in itself helps to establish a sense of balance in a child’s life. Of course, what makes it even better is the fact that when a child has finished making their project, they have a toy to play with which they’ve made themselves.

And whats More ... "It's Origami! It's Absolutely no cutting or messy pasting required!"

So, enrol your kid today and let his/her imagination soar ...
