| Marble art |
| Painting and colouring begins for kids at a very young age. 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. |
