A Jamini Roy by Shama
PS: Did you check the Yum Tum story this week? I saw no comments there.. Would love to hear your food stories..
Jamini Roy (11 April 1887 – 24 April 1972) was one of the most celebrated artists of modern India.I love the simplicity in his paintings.. Whether its krishna asking for some butter or Rama ready for his vanavas what stands out are the use of basic colors, accented by white.. Those beautiful kohl lined eyes.. and the clean lines.. I could go on and on. But here’s something to kick start our artsy-craftsy with a bang…
Shama tried to recreate the magic of Jamini Roy’s mother daughter painting using pencil colors..
Jamini Roy would be suitable for kids 8 yrs and above.. Which artist are you exploring today??

I really loved browsing through your page and I thought that you could be the right person to contact on our whole school Art Project for International Studies.I am the Head Teacher and Founder of The Little Kingdom Senior School in Theni,Tamilnadu.I would love to do a whole school art project for my students exploring one Indian art form and 1 international art form thus making them to understand the diversity and the uniqueness in each of these art forms.I also wanted them to explore the story behind each art form as well.Please get in touch with me through email.
Regards and Thanks
