The workshop will give an overview of Indian art from the ancient times, which includes an introduction to cave paintings, miniature paintings, folk art and some Indian artists. These sessions will include hands-on work, where the children will paint in various styles, in order to reinforce learning of art history.

For close to three decades now, Purnima Sampat has been an art educator, which apart from classroom teaching, involved art education research, presenting the research at numerous conferences, training teachers, framing curriculum and consulting. She believes that art is not just the production of a work, it is understanding why we make it, exploring techniques, studying art history and cultures as well as aesthetics.
