Within the context of formal education the ‘Art & Craft’
supports personal, social, moral, spiritual, cultural and creative development,
and enables participants to engage with and explore visual, tactile and other
sensory experiences and how to recognise and communicate ideas and meanings.
These opportunities enable them to work with traditional and new media, so
that they develop confidence, competence, imagination and creativity. This knowledge opens many career pathways and
links to the outside world of creative, cultural, design and heritage industries. Every manufactured product has a ‘innovatively
designed’ , every packaging is uniquely ‘artistic’ – so what attracts buyers’
attention is the ‘design’.
On Saturday, 22nd October, 20-16, Rotary Club of
Bombay West in association with Kokuyo Camlin Limited organized an “Art &
Craft Teachers’ Enrichment Workshop” at Rotary Service Centre with the
objective of enhancing the knowledge of the teachers from neighborhood schools
in creative use of existing and new mediums of art material and dangers
associated with use of non-standard materials which may contain toxic chemicals
harmful to the children.
Mr.Rajkumar, Senior Marketing Executive from Kokuyo Camlin
assisted by his team demonstrated unique techniques which were simple to
understand and teach the students, thus helping them to be more creative in
their work. Forty-seven (47) Art &
Craft Teachers from over 25 schools participated in the Workshop and benefited
from it. The positive feedback received
at the end of the Workshop from the participants made our efforts worthwhile in
arranging this unique Workshop.
The project was organized by Rtn.Minoo Lalvani, Director –
Community Service I from Rotary Club of Bombay West with support from R/Ann Urmil Puri and co-host Rotary Clubs
viz. Rotary Club of Mumbai Greencity, Rotary Club of Mumbai North Island,
Rotary Club of Bombay Juhu Beach, Rotary Club of JVPD Mumbai and Rotary Club of
Bombay East.
