Painting Skills: Hone Your Painting Skills With Short Course At Slka From Feb | Lucknow News
Lucknow: Do you love painting but are stuck between office and home? If yes, step out and follow your passion with a six-month course on painting starting at State Lalit Kala Akademi (SLKA) next month.
Anybody above 18 years of age can apply for the course by submitting an online form at SLKA’s official website along with the course fee and a security deposit, informed SLKA director Shraddha Shukla.
“Earlier, SKLA used to run short-term hobby courses, which was stopped during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, we are reviving them starting with painting, for which the classes will begin from February 1. Next, we are planning courses in sculpture and ceramics,” said Shukla.
Besides, she said, the akademi has opened a reference library for artists, research scholars, art connoisseurs, art critics and all those interested in art. No annual fee will be levied to access the library.
“Through this initiative, we are trying to connect people with art and akademi,” Shukla added.
Last month, an initiative providing free galleries to struggling artists after three years of completion of their bachelor’s or master’s degree was started, she informed.
