There are more than a hundred ways to paint. RDM aimed at introducing one such art form
of marble painting. In this workshop, kids poured oil colours over water in a tray and
spread the colours using a hair dryer. They would later capture this abstract art on a
paper by placing it over the water surface. They learnt how different density liquids
can also convert into art. |
