Event Description

This hands-on interactive workshop will introduce a new way for children to engage with historical art. Prior knowledge of facts will take a backseat and skills like first-hand observation, description and imagination will come to the forefront. Children will look at high-resolution visuals of sculptures and architecture from Mamallapuram, work on simple observation exercises, and engage in open discussion to make meaning of this astounding art. While the workshop will be based on Ashwin Prabhu`s new book for children, "Sculpted Stones - Mysteries of Mamallapuram", the methods explored can be used in any heritage site across the country. 10+ Ashwin Prabhu was an English and History teacher with The School KFI in Chennai. His first book "Classroom With a View - Notes from the Krishnamurti Schools" came out in 2022 and connects the dots between educational philosophy and daily classroom practice. As an independent educator now, he enjoys working with teachers and children in thematic areas where philosophy, history, art and literature happily intersect.
