Beauty of Botanica an outreach programme on the Foundations’s 2019 project ‘Encounters With The Botanical’ saw more than 30 attendees enjoy a fun afternoon working with flowers and plants. Geetanjali Sachdev, academician and educator, who spearheaded the research initiative, took the audience though the project and how botanical elements in Ravi Varma’s paintings had been identified and classified.
The audience was then invited to create something from the several varieties of fabric and fresh flowers, leaves, fruits and other accessories that had been laid out as part of the programme. A group of 11 students from Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat, along with other interested attendees, spent more than two hours creating a variety of articles - torans, garlands, hair ornaments, decorative objects and much more from the materials provided.
All participants were given a certificate for being a part of the programme.
