ART MOSAIC: A CULTURAL BLEND



“THE ART OF COMMUNICATION IS THE LANGUAGE OF LEADERSHIP”

Under the able guidance of the Principal Dr. Racchna Saddi, students of Sumermal Jain Public school participated whole heartedly in a collaborative activity on different Art forms. The art form taught was – Warli, a folk art from the State of Maharashtra.


It was an interesting and interactive Teaching – Learning Process under the ISA action plan Art – Mosaic – A Cultural Blend. Ms. Fatima, ISA coordinator, along with her team of Govt. Girls High School, Hassan, Pakistan was contacted for Skype session followed by a video call on 20.11.19 at 10.15 a.m.


The session began by exchanging warm greetings from both sides. Our beloved Principal Dr. Racchna Saddi along with revered Headmistress Mrs. Geeta Oberai interacted briefly with the team.
The students co-ordinator Aashima Sondhi of class X explained  few things based on Warli Painting, like – its background, history, colours used, shapes and step – by – step process very efficiently. Students of class IX –XI participated in this session along with the Art teacher Mrs. Preeti Ahluwalia. They painted different paintings based on Warli Art form using white and black sheets along with black and white board markers and vibrant colours.


ISA coordinators Mrs. Roopali Sinha and Mr. Amit Kushwaha along with Science teacher Ms. Parul and English teacher Ms. Anjali showed immense enthusiasm during the whole session. Mr. Arvind handled the hardware technicalities efficiently.


The first of its type, the session was very enriching and wonderful as the teachers from Pakistan along with their students learnt the Warli Art form on Skype and drew different paintings on the spot which they sent later through Whatsapp. 



It was an immensely wonderful session where the teachers and the students of two different countries cordially exchanged their ideas and culture related to Warli Art. It was appreciated by the teachers and students of Govt Girls High School, Hassan, Pakistan. Their response elated the whole team of Sumermal Jain Public School, India.

The whole session was a huge success as everyone present there enjoyed the presentation and gained knowledge about the Warli Art Form.
