⭐NEW CLASS COMING UP MONDAY! WARLI ART⭐

📖Warli Art Stories for Kids
Students are introduced to the cultural roots of Warli art and begin building confidence through guided practice. They learn to draw essential figures—people, animals, trees, huts—and explore movement poses like dancing, running, and carrying pots. By the end of the day, they create 2–3 small practice panels and start recognizing the visual language of Warli.

6 – 10 yrs | Mon, Jun 22 | 12:30pm - 3:30pm

🎨Warli Art for Adults and Seniors
This 3‑hour workshop offers seniors a calming, culturally rich introduction to Warli art, a traditional tribal art form from Maharashtra, India. Designed with accessibility, gentle pacing, and creative confidence‑building in mind, the session blends cultural storytelling with hands‑on artmaking. Participants learn how simple geometric shapes—circles, triangles, and lines—come together to form expressive figures, lively scenes, and rhythmic patterns. The workshop encourages relaxation, curiosity, and personal storytelling through a mindful creative process.
