It might be sketches or painting
2020年4月29日Chennai Weekend Artists — the name says it all. What started as a seven-member Facebook group by techie Muralidharan Alagar in 2012 has grown into a community of over 17,900 virtual members — nearly a hundred of them super active, who, during weekends, gather at spots in and around Chennai to sketch and paint. "All of us have been into drawing and painting since childhood, but somewhere down the lane, as career and responsibilities took over, we had to bury it all. "
We invite artists like Trotsky Marudhu and Maruthi for interactive sessions," he adds. The latest visit has been to the IIT-M campus where they interacted with noted graffiti artist from Denmark, Frida Stiil Vium. Chennai lacked such a group and that’s how I started Chennai Weekend Artists," says Muralidharan, who quit his software job to pursue art full time.The group has no specific https://www.ruicoglobal.com/product/polymer/industrial-paint-emulsion.html age group — from 10-year-old Akhil and 12-year-old Manav to sexagenarians Aleem and Balaji, it’s a big family of three generations.Every Sunday, 20-30 persons gather by 10 am, roaming around, settling down with their canvases, palette or drawing books and copy what they see. Alok Kumar, a techie who has been part of the group since 2013, admits to have never given any weekend camp a miss. It might be sketches or paintings or portraits. Explaining how it all began, Muralidharan says, "I came to Chennai in 2012 from Bengaluru, where I was associated with the groups Urban Sketchers and Pencil Jammers, who meet every weekend for sketching.. Now they are exploring places like Thanjavur, Darasuram, Gangaikonda Cholapuram, Kanchipuram, Pulicate Lake and Pondicherry. Being part of the group is the happiest thing that has happened to people like me," says the Bihar native, who has been a Chennaiite for over a decade. By 1 pm, they assemble at a spot where they exhibit their works, talk about the techniques and share their ideas.Hunting for interesting places and subjects, the team has covered almost every park, beach, temple, museum and mall in the city — Nageswara Rao Park, Anna Nagar Tower Park, Madava Perumal Koil, Egmore Museum, Kalakshetra, Kapaleeswarar Temple, Natesan Park, etc. "
The aim of CWA is to appreciate art works and provide guidance to each other, which, we believe, is being carried out wonderfully," says Murali, who believes that art is a tool to bring together people, like his little idea did, and help prevail harmony, peace and greater communication where words fail. Every year, they hold exhibitions and last year, they collaborated with the art show AIM for Seva Krupa Homes to support an institution. Artists, all of them amateurs, coming together on weekends to draw, paint, learn and share knowledge; everyone connected by the common passion of artistic talent. By evening, the artworks and photographs are shared on the Facebook page. At times, they get a prominent artist to speak to them.
