Vincent Van Gogh once said. ‘‘If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silent.” It is with this resonating thought that The Indian Community School, Kuwait embarked on a journey to hone the latent creative abilities in each budding artist. A four-day Acrylic Painting Workshop was organised by ICSK Art Department which gave hands-on experience to the students to go beyond their horizons to explore and create something new. The workshop was conducted from 27th to 30th December 2021 at ICSK Senior Branch under the able guidance of Mr. Mukundan P.(HOD, Department of Arts),Mrs. Mumtaz Firoz (Art Teacher, ICSK Khaitan) and Mrs. Suma Suresh(Art Teacher, ICSK Junior).

The first day of the workshop was inaugurated by Mrs Susan Rajesh Pothen, Vice Principal- ICSK Senior and Mrs Mini Shaji Joseph, Deputy Vice Principal- ICSK Senior. A large number of students had participated. Each student was given an opportunity to create two canvas paintings. Students were taught a wide range of skills -pencil shading, canvas painting, colour mixing and many more.

On the last day of the workshop, certificates were distributed to the participants by Mr. K. Gangadhar Shirsath, Principal-ICSK Khaitan. Best canvases will be displayed in the school. A carefully designed curriculum ensured that the students not only learned basics of Art and Craft but were able to express themselves freely. The event served as a platform for young minds to transcend the boundaries of their inherent aesthetic potential.
