“When creating art, I feel calm and relaxed,”says Rhea,13, Hong Kong #ArtWithSara#9

Hello art- lovers, Sara here! Welcome to my vibrant ‘Art with Sara’ section,  where I publish the writings of young artists who not only share their beautiful work, but also manage an equally challenging task of  ‘expressing their art.’

I bring to you today, the beautiful artwork and reflections of 13 year old Rhea from Hong Kong, on the back of the lovely art workshops organized by MeMeraki, committed to spread awareness of Indian folk art across the world.

================================================================

I have always been interested in art so I decided to join the zoom workshops to learn new forms of art I hadn’t tried before.

When creating the artwork during the classes, I felt more calm and relaxed.

The subject of this artwork was an elephant with a tree behind it. It was fun to chose my own colour combinations to fill in the design, while still drawing and painting in the Madhubani art style.

It was fun to learn new art forms and techniques through the workshop while creating my own artwork.

The workshops were very fun in general and it was nice to use this time at home to learn new art forms.
