Fees and financial support

About this opportunity
Kala Kamp is the Art of Living's online fine art camp, where learners aged eight and above study a traditional Indian painting form live over five short evening sessions with a practising artist.
Each edition offers a set of separate five-day workshops, so a learner picks the form they want rather than following a fixed syllabus. Styles covered include Warli, Madhubani, Kalighat, Gond, Thangka, Kolam and Alpana, Tholu Bommalata leather puppetry, Mandala work and a watercolour flower series, along with an intermediate Warli module for those who want to go further.
The camp is run by the World Forum for Art and Culture, the cultural wing of the Art of Living, and has been held every year since 2021. Sessions are taught live and attendance is required, since recordings are not shared afterwards. Participants arrange their own art materials from a reference list circulated before class, and complete beginners are welcome alongside experienced artists.

What are the practical outcomes and tangible benefits students can expect from completing a workshop?
Upon completion, students will have a foundational understanding of a traditional Indian painting form, including its characteristic motifs and techniques. They will also have completed at least one artwork in the chosen style, fostering a sense of accomplishment and creative expression.
How do these workshops help students apply their newly acquired art skills in broader contexts?
The workshops provide a strong base in traditional art forms, which can inspire students to explore further artistic endeavors, integrate these styles into personal projects, or even pursue advanced studies in art. The skills learned are transferable to various creative applications.
What measures are in place to ensure effective learning and interaction in an online workshop setting?
The workshops are conducted live via Zoom, allowing for real-time interaction with the instructor and fellow participants. Experienced artists guide the sessions, providing demonstrations and feedback to ensure an engaging and effective learning environment.
Are there opportunities for participants to connect with other art enthusiasts or the broader art community after the workshops?
