If you feel creativity boiling within you, and are looking for a way to create something beautiful, you have come to the right place.
Midhila Murals is providing online classes for mural paintings.
That’s right! If you have been amazed by mural paintings and have wondered if you will be able to create one, this is the opportunity to grab the necessary lessons to create your first mural.
Every human on this planet is trying to express themselves. All of them have stories within them and they all choose different ways to communicate.
Do you have a story to be expressed through murals? If, yes.
You are eligible to take this course.
It is rare to find an artist who has theoretical training as well as the skills required for producing beautiful artwork. Prince Thonakkal belongs to that elite category. He belongs to the first batch of the Institute of Mural Painting (Guruvayur Devaswom) to have completed a 5-year long national diploma in traditional mural painting.
He trained under the late Mammiyur Krishnankutty Nair, and have been passing on those valuable lessons to other artists for the last 30 years. Prince never restricted his work to just art exhibitions or temple works; he even works with corporates. This has allowed him to develop a style that can be adopted by a wide variety of audiences. He has also trained in visual art practice from Chitrakala Academy, Attingal near Thiruvananthapuram to widen his knowledge and expertise in this area.
In the past, Prince Thonakkal has collaborated with his students on large-scale projects that were based on Ramayana and Mahabharata themes. Similarly, students who enroll for this online course (basic & advanced) will be given an opportunity to work on comparable projects.
This will not only help in gaining expertise in the area of mural painting, but the exposure through these projects will help in building a network with other artists and set up a name for oneself.
Since the sessions are conducted online, classes can be attended based on convenience. If a total of 12 hours can be spent in a week, the basic course can be completed within a span of 3 months.
