On Friday, August 30, I had the pleasure of hosting a fun and interactive workshop at Adapa Gallery, where kids explored the art of character creation by painting on wooden dolls. These raw wooden figures, resembling large chess pawns, provided the perfect canvas for the young participants to unleash their creativity.
Each child chose a character they wanted to bring to life. I worked with them to refine their ideas, helping them imagine the features of their characters and sketch them onto the wooden dolls. From there, we dove into the exciting process of color mixing, as I guided them in selecting and preparing the perfect shades for their designs. The children painted different parts of the dolls themselves, adding personal touches to their creations.
The workshop was filled with fun, laughter, and beautiful moments as the kids discovered a new skill—character-making through painting. They not only learned how to turn their imaginative ideas into tangible forms but also gained confidence in expressing their creativity through hands-on art.
It was a joy to watch the children bring their characters to life and see their excitement throughout the process. I’m proud to have been a part of their creative journey, and I look forward to more workshops that inspire young mind
