I love learning different dorms of traditional art.But Mithila Art is something very close to my heart.It was the Art pieces I bought from Dilli hut back in 2008, that sparked the interest.
I bought books,looked at Youtube videos and Instsgram feeds of Mithila Art Artists.I almost signed up for a formal course, but the schedule and lack of flexibility was a big problem.
And then the Universe of Instagram reels sent Anushree Dutta @duttatanusree’s art,right into my Insta feed.But her artwork looked super detailed and sophisticated. It didn’t look like something a beginner like me could learn online.
I followed her work for well over a year before I found her advertising an online short course .
That was the God’s of Mithila where we would finish four art work of God’s and Goddess .I sent her a DM and got to know about how much it costs ,timings and what I needed.
I signed up quickly .It was God sent.
The classes started .It was a good course with introduction to Mithila Art to help us understand the background and traditions of this art form.The classes are intense,creative, calming ,beautiful and Anushree is a wonderful teacher.
I was unfortunately not able to keep up with the pace of the class due to sudden house guests on two consecutive weeks .But her private videos links on Youtube and also the drive links helped me keep doing the work.
I finally finished two of the 4 art work and decided to share my opinion about the course I took.
Who is this course for?
Anyone interested in Mithila Art/Traditional Indian Art form.
Any experience needed?
While the basic introduction class is great and makes even a novice feel comfortable, the actual art work does need some level of comfort with acrylic,brushes,ink and ink pen.But saying that ,since this is not a degree course or certification ,you are your only competition. You can totally work at your own pace,do it the way you want with the God’s of Mithila guiding your hand.
Pros of the course
Online
Life time Access
Indian timing kept in mind
