Drawing or Painting Competetion at Lamakaan

Lamakaan invites children of all ages for  caricature/Drawing/Painting/sketching/illustration/
cartoonist talent show event on the birthday of Bapu - the famous Filmmaker, artist.
Bapu introduced a painting style of simple bright colors. His unique style consisted of economy of strokes, freehand drawing and a lack of background clutter.

His paintings focus on Hindu mythological characters, and he has painted the Hindu epic Ramayana as a pictorial story. His character portrayals, such as Shiva, Bhima, Duryodhana, look distinctly male with wide chests, large jaws and large biceps; while Krishna and Rama are more feminine in build.

The phrase Bapu Bomma ("Bapu's painting") has become synonymous with a beautiful Telugu girl. Another character called Rendu Jadala Seeta ("Seeta with two plaits") became a synonym for any girl wearing her hair in two plaits.

Bapu has also introduced a new style of cursive writing in Telugu. The font is his own handwriting and reflects the same simplicity as his art.

This event today is open for all and is to encourage children to take up the hobby of painting seriously.

Bapu drawing is  - fun for Kids  Ages 6 to 15

On  December 15, 2013 2:00 pm Sunday

For Details contact :9642731329

The competition will be followed by screening of a documentary on Bapu made by Saichand Tripuraneni
