Only charcoal….yes all the
drawings and that too only by using charcoal. That's what it was in our
charcoal drawing workshop! And when we mix kids and charcoal in one place, what
do we get…yes we had charcoal everywhere...on paper, on our hands, on the light
switch boards and even on our faces :-) Charcoal is an excellent medium to make
beautiful sketches in black and white but it comes with its own dirt baggage.
It can be a little tricky to handle for beginners but it also gives the freedom
to move their hands freely.
I conducted this workshop with two students, Sneha (10 yrs) and Shaiana (9yrs) who experienced charcoal for the first time. But they surprised me with their efforts and enthusiasm. They put in a lot of efforts and worked and reworked and reworked again….on the same subject again and again. And the results were indeed jaw dropping. By the end of the workshop, I could see them exploring with tougher subjects with much more confidence. This showed a marked improvement over what they were capable of doing in the first class of the workshop. Giving below a glimpse of what we were able to achieve in this workshop:
