The word literally translates to circle in the Sanskrit language. The roots of Mandala art lie in the Buddhist culture. The symmetric shapes of the mandala design signify an aligned universe. Mandala art became even more popular after the trending reels and videos on social media platforms were uploaded in abundance. Mandala art therapy improves patience, and focus and aids in concentrating. We at Rooftop organized a Mandala Workshop with Deepa Shah
About The Artist
Deepa is a freelance Mandala artist. She is an art educator who currently resides in Coimbatore. She has conducted many workshops in the past 4 years. Art has been her passion ever since childhood. She has expert knowledge of the Mandala art.
And The Workshop Began
The workshop began with a brief introduction to Deepa and her journey as an artist. She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the attendees. She started drawing the geometric mandala design by marking the centre. Further, she started creating small Mandala motifs for the specimens. She started doing those designs into main geometric mandala designs. A black pen and pencil were used to finish the drawing.
Towards The End Of The Workshop
The attendees were delighted to show their artwork as they understood the conceptual learning of the art very well. The attendees were exactly able to draw as explained. Although a limited time frame was there, it didn’t pose a hurdle to the smooth conduct of the workshop, which was composed of a positive learning environment. The workshop concluded with the attendees appreciating and thanking Deepa for teaching the art form in such an easy and fun manner.
The attendees were from different parts of the country and belonged to various age groups, but their love for art brought them together on a single platform, TCC as always, was successful in connecting artists and curating a magical and positive vibe altogether.
On this note, here’s us signing off until next time!
