We humans are proud of things which are the cause of greater sufferings in our life. The best example being "consciousness" which makes us different from other animals. But consciousness is what brings art in our world and moreover the ability to appreciate, enjoy and perceive it. Art, on the other hand is not every human's slave. That blessing is reserved to a few lucky ones only. Some of them, the world knows today as Michelangelo, Picasso or M F Hussain etc. while many others have lost their names to brutal time. Some of these never wanted to be famous and others didn't stand a chance.
Who designed Sphinx of Egypt? How many of you know the name of the guy who designed Taj Mahal! (Oh, it never crossed my mind)
All I mean to say is there are people in the world who are unknown and not familiar but their works continue to astonish us. When I found the subject of this post, I was amazed, because in the years I have known her and taught her, I never got to know about her art. Once I knew about her art, I went back home and showed the pictures to my sister in law and I was even more surprised to know that my sister in law has similar talents. Now this is embarrassing. Funny part is we all appreciate art but when a kid wants to follow it
lifelong, most parents become insecure and they are not wrong, as all they want is their kid's well being. They know the society and they have seen more, than we have. But whatever, Indian parents do not like anything off the leash, Medical and Engineering still being the favorites as they don't see anything else, specially something as lame as being an "Artist" as a career option. Its the attitude of society that matters and society is made up of
individuals, so its the attitude of individuals which make the attitude
of society.
The other side of the story is for every girl who fails to express herself or does not express herself in the wake of the emerging conditions around her. But true passion is the key. Dreams do come true. All you need is STRONG WILL.
Time to fulfill the promise. Its for you and all the girls, who want to live their dreams and live them.
Here is some of my student's work, go
through it, and please write back if you liked the work or in case you
are interested in knowing more about her work. Her resources are diverse
ranging from daily items to Gemstone powder for her art. Try to spot
newspaper rolls, sponge, toothpaste drawings and much more. Here are the
some pictures for you. If you see a camera flash, blame it to my photography skills.
Kids, here it goes for you. I hope you will like it :).
