LET'S START ART: MAY 2019
In the Let's Start Art sessions, students often make paintings that can easily help us figure out their relationship with their parents/siblings, the surroundings they are living in, the things they love or hate and many such factors.
In this session, we asked the students to make a paper mask of their favorite person, thing or fictional character.
