"Art has a role in education of helping children become themselves, instead of more like everyone else."

Welcome to my Art Studio! Painting encourages open-ended creativity. There is no one right way to paint and we are free to express our ideas and creativity any way we like. So I will not be teaching your little one how to draw a horse or color within the lines, but will allow them to immerse themselves in Art by exploring various painting techniques. The objective is to give them a thorough exposure to paints!

  1. Hi Swapna,
    My name is Shweta. I am so glad I came across your blog. I have 2.7 year old daughter and she and I love spending time doing art. We live in California where there are lots of such art studios and we enjoy visiting those places. I am so glad to see similar stuff in India. How is the response to process art from parents in India? I have a art group within our community and I see the kids thoroughly enjoying process art but the parents always keep wondering about the final product :)

    Hoping to connect with you!

  2. Hi Shweta! Yes that is the sad part! Art classes concentrate on drawing better, colouring within the lines and creating cute little finished products- this is what I found out when I checked around. I wish I could say adults didn’t care abt the finished product, since every time my kid shows any adult his work , they jump in trying to label it by saying “wow! Is this a xyx?"

    My philosophy at least for little kids is to give them messy, open ended projects that *they* do from start to finish. I started my Art Studio since I didn’t see anything like this around. It was a small, one time thing. I wish I could go big with this (i.e. getting more kids not just by word of mouth but by some marketing) but those plans are on hold as we will be moving soon!

    Glad you stopped by :)
