SK Easel N Arts - Art Classes

When I was in India, I was teaching art and design courses at higher education institutes. After I came to US, I had been receiving suggestions from friends and family to provide art and painting lessons. With COVID-19 keeping people indoors and classes being conducted online, I have been interacting online with students and friends who needed some art sessions. Eventually, I started SK Easel N Arts ( FB Page, Instagram Page ) with the aim to provide art and design lessons (currently online), support with portfolio development and custom art. Working on it one step at a time. Here is an update about the most recent sessions that are currently ongoing.

Spring is beautiful. When fresh buds bloom, nature comes to life and earth is alive with greenery and beautiful flowers, it is joy and beauty all around.

Spring is an apt time for new beginnings full of color, art and fun. Let us get inspired by the spring season and bring out the artist within us.

Harvest Festivals and New Year for India in April

Happy Baisakhi, Pohela Boishakh, Bihu, Vishu, Maha Vishuva Sankranti, Bikhu, JurShital, Sattuain, Ugadi, Gudi Padva, Puthandu, Navresh and all Indian festivals that fall on Apr 13 to 15. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR India :) 

No, this is not for a late April Fool's day! Different parts of India celebrate these festivals. Some celebrate it as  New Year as per Indian Calendars, while others as harvest festival. Although January 1 is the New Year as per the Georgian Calendar, the Solar and Lunar calendars followed in India have different dates for New Year (I am not getting into the details of the calendars at this time).

The dates between April 13 to April 15 are certainly time to celebrate in a big or small way. Enjoy some good, healthy food and be thankful for nature's bounties and the harvest. 

The picture below is of a tasty and healthy drink prepared using "chana sattu", which is flour made of roasted gram (Indian black chickpeas or bengal gram). This chana sattu flour has been mixed with water, lime or lemon juice, pink Himalayan salt and ground roasted cumin seeds. Just mix everything and it is ready. It is a traditional morning drink in many parts of Bihar, India, and is very refreshing as well as full of goodness :) .  April 14 is also celebrated as Sattuain and this was my morning drink with the traditional sattu.

Stay safe and stay healthy :)
