Art for Children - Atul Dodiya
Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi
March 17, 2007
 
FICA conducted a program for children between ages 4 and 10 at Vadehra Art Gallery centered on Atul Dodiya’s exhibition titled Saptapadi: Scenes from Marriage (Regardless). In this exhibition, Dodiya’s bold collages reference old Bollywood posters, Indian street culture and classical myth, artists
 
 
Picasso, Rene Magritte, Tyeb Mehta and popular icons like Hillary and Bill Clinton.
 
Children explored these images and learned collage making with magazine cut-outs and laminate board. They also explored the concepts of creativity and imagination in a reading of Peter H Reynold’s award winning "The Dot", a children’s story of a frustrated primary school artist.
