ARTREACH-KNMA TEACHING FELLOWSHIPS 2022
Three Fellowships (May-October 2022) 
(Online and On ground)

We are excited to welcome Shoili Kanungo, Akshay Sethi and Goutam Pal as the three Artreach-KNMA Teaching Fellows for May - October 2022!

Shoili’s Fellowship with children from Rainbow Homes will focus on how art making can respond to emotions and moods. Children will work with collage, portraiture and book making, among other fun filled workshops. 

Over Akshay’s programme with children at Karm Marg, they will explore visual storytelling through the use of theatre exercises, mask making and staged photography. 
​
Across his programme with children of Udayan Care, Goutam’s intuitive-learning based modules will have participants explore self-expression through clay modelling, responding to sounds and exploring a variety of materials. ​

​TEACHING FELLOWSHIPS
​A foundation course in art for young people in care

Every year we give fixed grants to artists - our Teaching Fellows - to work with a care home in Delhi.  The artists teach a foundation course in visual art to about 20 students (aged 12 to 16) from the care home with a talent and passion for art. 

Through 10 intensive workshops they lead the students through a comprehensive experience of art education, exploring techniques, media, art history and aesthetics. The artists take them on field visits to art colleges, artist studios, exhibitions and art fairs.

Beyond the teaching of technical skills and insight into art history and aesthetics the artists encourage participants to use art as a tool for the critical exploration of the world, seek to cultivate their imaginative, creative and reflective skills and encourage them to find an individual expressive voice. 

The sustained contact between the students and the teaching fellow, who becomes a mentor figure, is unique and powerful. At the end of the year the students put up an exhibition of their work at KNMA or online. Works are for sale and typically sell very well– the proceeds go to the partnering care homes and the young artists.

For the first phase of 2022, the Artreach-KNMA Teaching Fellowships are being offered to 3 artist-educators, each of whom lead workshops over six months; these take place online and on ground.

The artists are guided by an expert panel of artist-educators who meet at the beginning and end of the programme periods, to help nurture and guide.

Reflections:
"My experience with Artreach was great as I wanted to do designing and it was a great learning experience. It was like an art coaching for me for my entrance, we learned sketching, perspective and my favourite was the portrait of ourselves everybody did their own thing and added a touch of their own  personality into the portrait, it was the best activity that i did in Artreach. We also visited some art museums and I got the opportunity to see some master pieces. Overall it was a great experience and was fun too."

"The benefits are hard to describe in a few words, because it seemed to me that reaching within themselves and fetching those ideas and that talent from inside gave them an anchor that could very well persist for the better part of their lives. I don’t think it matters how many of these girls will choose art as a career, though it'd be great if they did. To me, what mattered was that attention was paid to their latent talent, possibly to nurture it further, but mostly to help them familiarise themselves with that shining, unique spot of talent they have. It’s never easy to 'tell' a child to see this bright shining spot, whereas to have them reveal it to themselves is priceless and long-lasting!"
