In the workshop, a wide range of activities and efforts had been undertaken successfully under the leadership of different artists. On first day, the students tried their hands in dress making of out of trash, newspapers, cartridge sheets, etc., proving waste can be made in to striking fashion with the right touch. The dresses were so very imaginative and creative that everyone present was bowled over by the poise and confidence of the models who sashayed the ramp on these outfits.

Day two was a movie session for the students, where they watched ‘Hichki’, the refreshingly warm story of young students and an aspiring teacher who is determined to give compassion, knowledge & understanding to the world and proves herself by educating a group of underprivileged students. The motive behind the movie session was to encourage students and to prove that disorders can make your body functionality weak but it has nothing to do with your dreams.

The rest of the four days of the workshop were devoted to giving a chance to polish the existing skills of the students and also to add new skills in their kitty.On third day, students worked with clay on ‘Kumhaar’s chaak’ and learned the foundation skills to create objects such as pots, flower containers, etc., in which the students amazed everyone by combining techniques with their creativity.On day four and five,students had another very exciting event, i.e., Hands on ‘Sculpture Making’ by Artist Tarsem Singh, where students showcased their creativity in sculpture making with clay and proved that artists are really very imaginative and creative people and there is no limit to their innovations and experiments.

The last day of the workshop was a day with ‘Paint & Brush’ by Satnam Laddi where by using drawing and painting techniques, the students learned to express themselves through art.

The workshop had been a great success with strong participation by the students where they got a chance to explore areas and fields that might not be available in their regular curriculum. It gave opportunities to develop new skills and take an edge over others.The workshop was designed and structured in such a way that it promoted fun and enjoyment along with learning which every student needs after repeated days of excruciating learning. Such fun breaks in between help them rejuvenate and bring in the same amount of energy that they have while beginning their new session. Such breaks are vital for improving efficiency and gain focus in everyday activities.
