The Art Reach Program

Udupi, November 30, 2019: The students of Art Club, Kalataranga, iNurture Education Solutions, Srinivas University, took part in a one-day art reach program at CSI Boys Boarding Home, Udupi.

With a view of exploring creativity through art, the students Kalataranga took up an initiative to share their skills with children residing at the CSI Boys Boarding Home at Udupi. A team of 15 volunteers and faculties engaged the children by introducing them to simple artworks. The primary students were taught drawing simple characters from alphabets and preparing 12 different types of caps from a newspaper. High school students were taught simple pencil sketching and a basic introduction to photography. In conclusion to the session, the volunteers engaged the children with traditional games like Kho-Kho.

The team of Volunteers who took part of the program was Harshith, Aman Shetty, Shraddha, Hrithin, Jeevith C, Aman Pinto, Ravith, Sparsha, Usha, Srujan, Charan, Nikhil, Likith, Abhinav and Nishan. The program was coordinated by the faculties Clifford Chetan Ambler and Jeetha S with support from Sujina and Aloke Das.

The Art Reach Program Concept Note:

Exploring creativity in young minds being the moto of the art outreach program, we as an art club take an initiative to reach underprivileged children in society. The Art-Reach Program is a project aimed to educate children using the medium of art. With an intention to give back to our society, we plan to share some of our basic art skills with school children and try our part in encouraging young minds to embrace art.

A team of volunteers from the art club are prepared to teach children handicraft, sketching, cartooning, and simple diagrams related to school that help them perform better in their studies. In addition, we plan on conducting traditional games before concluding our sessions. With this, we hope to better ourselves and witness the change we make through this small effort.
