One of the age old art which is today’s trend is the Warli Art. It has a wide approach in the fields of architecture, textile design, interior design, product design today. Taking this into consideration, a workshop on warli art was organized for the students of architecture of BVB College, Hubli.
Experiment on a primitive art in midst of nature would be an experience in itself. Ajjimane in Sirsi was the ideal place opted and it proved to be one. On 23rd February, a team of 39 architecture students and the Infra One Gang started from Hubli early in the morning and reached Ajjimane at around 10. Right in time for a delightful breakfast arranged outdoors. An informal Introduction was conducted where the team was introduced to the owner of Ajjimane Sri Shashidhar Bhat, the backbone of the workshop Sri Amrut Joshi, The Infra One team, Sri Ajit Hegde, Warli Artist from Sirsi settled in Hubli, Sri Devdutta Arasu from Bangalore who has immense interest in photography, Sri Udayan Kayande from Nagpur who proved to be the centre of attraction the whole day because of his wit and team building techniques.
The first session was welcomed with great enthusiasm when the students were bifurcated in 6 groups for which they had to choose a team leader and a unique name. Sri H S Patil of the Infra One team took over the attention with a brief history of Warli Art and a presentation on the same was followed. Sri Ajit Hegde then demonstrated the basic motifs used in Warli Art. The first outdoor session started after the students were allotted with one terracotta item each with base paint. The teams then had their own ideas sketched on their pots and were engrossed in the depths of detailing. (The designed terracotta items were given to the students to carry home at the end of the day)
An authentic brown rice lunch with Sirsi delicacies was served on banana leaf which was relished by all. The second session was a group project. The teams were given small portions on the walls of Ajjimane and were asked to fill it up with Warli paintings but with a theme. The output from the students was satisfying and inturn the students were taken to a surprise trek on a hill top where the sun set was visible at its best.
A concluding session with prizes distributed to the best group work and the outstanding student of the team, was followed by a simple dinner.

Photography Workshop

Attended By : The students of Architecture of B V Bhoomareddi College, Hubli.

Date : 18th and 19th January 2010

Venue : Hittalhalli and Ajjimane at Sirsi.

Conducted by : Sri Nagendra Muthumurdu.

Photography being an art of capturing moments which can be relished later, needs a vision to understand and try to make the other person depict the feelings hidden behind the clicked photograph. A good photograph is a blend of perfect timing, perfect lighting and perfect expression of the moment.

Architecture being the mother of all arts needs photography as a backbone support for making and exhibiting itself. At the initial stages of learning architecture, learning photography would make it more interesting and useful. Taking this into consideration, architecture students of B V B College, Hubli were guided to an enticing experience with nature at its purest form.

Day 1 : 18th Jan 2010

The interactive workshop which was attended by 14 architecture students was conducted for two days with one night stay. An early start on 18th January 2010 at 7 AM for the students carried with a lot of enthusiasm and inquisitiveness was boosted with the arrangements that welcomed them at Hittalhalli. An authentic Malenad breakfast which was relished at Shri Nagendra Bhat’s abode, was followed by an inauguration ceremony of the workshop which created a very pious environment. The arrangements were all made by Shri Sadashiv Bhat, who didn’t miss out on any details of hospitality.

Trying one’s skills at photography as amateurs, being in the company of a renowned and creative photographer, who can give life to any still, frozen moment, would be like an icing on the cake. Shri Nagendra Muthumurdu, an award winning well known photographer took up the first session which was scheduled at Shri Venkanna Jallimane’s residence at Hittalhalli. Proving to be a good artist himself, Sri Venkanna Jallimane possessed an interesting collection of bottles and Ganesha Idols in a museum at his residence. This being the perfect place to start the shoot out with cameras, and also with Sri Muthumurdu’s able guidance, the students could grasp the basic techniques of zoom, lighting, flash and capture. By then, the team was aware that Sri Muthumurdu’s works have been featured in magazines like Sudha, Taranga etc and by a mere look at his precious portfolio works, anyone would be confirmed how well advanced is the artist in his profession.
