There is nothing more satisfying and
fulfilling for children than to be able to express themselves openly
and without judgment; the ability to be creative, to create
something expressing personal feelings and experiences, can reflect
and nurture children's emotional health. Creativity fosters mental
growth as well by providing opportunities for trying out new ideas,
and new ways of thinking and problem-solving. At Vimukti, we provide
a creative environment as a complement to the integral education
system at the school. Through creative arts we aspire to develop
aesthetic sense in our sponsored children and give them a platform
where they are able to express themselves freely. Our ultimate
objective is to help identify in each child their full potential and
bring out their best. Each child is given a chance to develop at his
her own pace.
With the collaboration of Ensemble Agissons, France Vimukti
organized workshop to our sponsored children at Vimukti premises on
21st to 22nd October, 2017. The kids enjoyed to the full the
workshop with learning beautiful craft and art work. They learnt
different skills like rolling and cutting papers, gluing pieces
together, most importantly the skill of cooperating and
collaborating with each other. For about 55 children made masks from
paper, so also plates, paper pulp, balloons, flowers and caps. Mr.
Anthony Module was the resource person for the two days, gave them a
demonstration on landscape, drawing and painting, He also taught the
kids as on how to derive at different colors from the six basic
colors. In the second session children were introduced and taught
how to draw a cartoon character using different forms and how to
fill color in to it. Secondly children made cartoon faces using
different alphabets. They also learnt of making cartoon faces with
different expressions with different forms. Art and Crafts at
Vimukti helped the children develop an appreciation of beauty and
perfection in their own work and in the work of others. The creative
workshop gave the children a sense of fulfillment and achievement
and self- confidence in their ability to be creative. Vimukti
strongly believes creative activities are outlet of expression that
can help staff learn more about what a child may be thinking or
feeling. Creative activities help acknowledge and celebrate
children’s uniqueness and diversity and offer excellent
opportunities to personalize teaching in order to focus on each
child. Creative activities have helped our sponsor children to
develop patience and concentration and given opportunists for
freedom of expression. Thus we can say our sponsored children
enjoyed the two days workshop to the full and benefited to the
maximum from this workshop.
