A creative art workshop was conducted at Ekadaksha Learning Center in the first week of December. The facilitator was Mrs.Hemalatha Swaminathan, a creative arts therapist.
The children did various activities. The activities involved ball games, animal games, singing and many more. The children made different actions using their hands and this was transferred to a drawing on paper. The session went in flow with the interests and temperament of the group.
