Saraswathi Devi

Kerala Mural Paintings 

Goddess Saraswathi, the mother of knowledge and art is ecstatic immersing herself in the melody of her favorite musical instrument Veena. She is smiling and soaking in music as her white swan observes her in enchantment. Goddess Saraswathi deems to recreate raga to fill in the whole universe the absolute concept of Jnana (wisdom). 

Overview  

This course is designed to create ecstatic Goddess Saraswathi depicted in Kerala Mural art. The essence of this course lies in the adoption of the original methodologies of the artwork followed during the earlier times.  

The material kit comprises natural and pure ingredients. The course does not involve any kind of synthetic art materials of modern times like Fevicol, poster colors, plastic stones, or pens.  

The resultant artwork will be a 100% natural, eco-friendly and enriched painting of the bygone era. 

Course Brief: 

Size of the painting: 12*15 inches 

The course begins with a structured introduction to Kerala Mural art and the fundamentals to be followed by the students.  

The course will take students through the processes and materials involved in the artwork. It teaches the methodologies of handling the materials in traditional ways, providing an opportunity to extend and deepen their understanding of the ‘Fresco Secco’ concept in the creative development of Kerala Murals.
