- Cartoon drawing (Project pictures coming soon)
As the name of the course suggests kids learn to draw/color cartoons of different
shapes and sizes, which includes human faces and figures and some of the animal
and Disney cartoons also. Every child has a natural affinity for learning
animation, not only as a technique but as a means of self-expression as well.
In this course we have tried to simplify the technique using simple sketches
and guidelines to instruct the child. Though a great deal of emphasis has
been placed on the animation of people, we have also incorporated lessons
on animals, birds and even inanimate objects which spring to life, as well
as animated alphabets and numbers. Later on child learns the simple compositions
too.

- Decorative painting
Learn brushstrokes using acrylic paints on paper, canvas, wood, metal, fabric
and ceramic. Paint beautiful flowers, teddy bears, animals and birds and many
designs on decorative as well functional objects, one can actually use as
the paints are permanent and can bear everyday handling. Crafting is an enjoyable
and therapeutic activity for both children and adults. Working on a simple
project can help children build their patience and confidence as they learn
to appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Not only is this activity a great
way of helping children learn the concepts of colors, texture, measurement
and coordination, it also gives them a sense of achievement from making something
with their hands.

At Folk Art Cottage we encourage children (as well as adults) of all ages to
think out-of-the-box and come up with their own original creations for which
they have a sense of pride and can say 'Look what I did, Mommy'. 'So
much to learn with so much fun' is our motto. Let your little doodlers
gleefully create their own masterpieces by learning to paint on a variety of
surfaces including paper, canvas, wood, fabric, ceramic and metal which are
