ART AND AESTHETIC WORKSHOP

Art and Aesthetic workshop was handled by Sr. Thottam Bhuvanedran Sir. He was working as a resource person in the field of education and has plenty years of service in this sector. He was also a part of Shastra Sahitya Parishath, as a part of it, I have witnessed many of its programs. His class was mind blowing and really an asset for us. The resource person was too particular about conveying the basic essence of the art of teaching. The primary requirements of an ideal teacher were discussed. His humorous dialogues seemed to be quite interesting and one wouldn't even have thought of getting distracted. The magical words of the person could hold a long sustaining impact on the students. Anything and everything about teaching and teacher was most eloquently dealt in the session. Students were treated most affectionately. The session was packed with constant renderings of a few lines from popular Malayalam poetry and music. The forenoon session was completely theory class. Afternoon, he divided us into different groups and asked us to prepare a textual content into musical piece and present it. Each group had taken a particular chapter of their own interest, compiled it into musical form and present it. Sir has evaluated the performance out of 5 marks. My group has taken the chapter ' The School for Sympathy'. We composed few lyrical lines out of the story and made a short poem, applied our own tone and presented. Sir rewarded a us with 5 marks. It was a wonderful learning experience to be in such a lively and energetic class.
