Once again the veranda of the beautiful Gonsalves Mansion was buzzing with life and vibrancy! It was fizzing with paints, colors, brushes, easels, canvases and young murmurs! Heritage Jazz in association with eminent artists, Unnati Singh and Salvador Fernandes has organized a 4 days painting workshop for the underprivileged kids from the St. Inez Bandh. The workshop commenced on Monday, 7th June 2010 and continued till Thursday, 10th June 2010 every afternoon at 4 pm. This indeed was a terrific way for young kids to be creative with paints and brushes.
The queen of brushes, Unnati Singh flew from the city of glamour, Mumbai, with the sole intention of inspiring young minds towards this form of art. Her sincere passion for art combined with the zeal to do something for these children brought her tête-à-tête with Mr. Armando Gonsalves, the CEO of Heritage Jazz and together they decided upon conducting the most enlightening painting workshop.
It is a brilliant opportunity to teach children how to think outside the box and pour their heart down. The amazing thing about painting with children is that each painting is truly a work of art to them, even if you can't tell what it is. These painting lessons have provided full liberty to the children to choose their favorite style and paint down their vivid imaginations. It is definitely a gleaming opportunity for art making and creative expression in order to build confidence, self-esteem, and critical thinking skills in people of all backgrounds.
Later this week, the lovely veranda of the Gonsalves Mansion was camouflage into a vivacious art gallery. Following the workshop sessions; the contemporary creations by Unnati Singh and Salvador Fernandes was showcased here on Friday, 11th June 2010. With paint brushes harbored in their tiny fists and face smudged with colours, these young wonders and on their way to create wonderful works of art. Their works will too be at the display. This would indeed be a significant chance to procure some of the remarkable creations as souvenirs.
