I find drawing the hands and fingers a bit hard than other body parts. I think it has to do with the fact that the hands have to be drawn to conform to the general stance of the body. The fingers are also tricky to draw since each is unique and everything you draw has to be proportional to the...

My journey of self discovery in art started in my final year in primary school. I vividly remember creating special effects on my exercise book using a pencil. I drew African village sceneries which were very captivating. However, my dalliance with art was short lived since I had to concentrate...

Geography is very important because it enables one to have a three dimensional view of the world we live in. It also enables one to develop tolerance of different cultures and economic activities. Since travel is costly, one can travel to distant lands when studying Geography from the comfort of...

The best way to teach Geography is using visual techniques like maps and charts. Most children are visual learners and imprinting visual graphics on their minds will improve their ability to learn the nitty gritty of what they have already observed. Graphs, illustrations and maps summarize alot...

Everything in the contemporary world, it seems will not remain untouched by the digital revolution juggernaut. For good measure, modern art is now increasingly digitized. Graphic art and design is all the rage. Though images and designs may be catchy and of high resolution, some art connoisseurs...

I Love art because it is one platform that momentarily distracts one from real life. Art stimulates deeper reflection of the issues of life from an emotionally detached position. An example is political cartoons and caricatures. Art also has a humorous side to it for soothing the senses. It has...

Fashion is an art. It expresses one's personality in three dimensions. Creativity is a key component of art and no two fashion designers will create the same impressions. This is unlike science in which a fact or theory has to be universal.

I think painting makes my day. Both methods involve imagination and skill. Painting engages the visual compartments of the human mind alot more them drawing. It is much easier to express mood through painting. Different hues represent distinct moods which are etched in the human mind. Painting...

There are some methods which one can use to stimulate imagination. There are brain exercises. One method involves drilling the child to practice writing with his right hadn if he is right handed and vice versa. Other techniques like reading a book upside down stimulate the development of new...

Some students or pupils are very poor in language skills which is evident in their written and spoken word. What intrigues me is that these same students excel in other subjects including those with a heavy input of language like the humanities. It is sort of a paradox. I know of a classmate who...

As for me, I don't make a fuss about breasts, the equivalent of mammary glands in animals. I think that if we become natural and let things be, the serious self esteem issues that people have would not stand. I believe everybody was designed flawlessly as long as you take proper care of...

I have made an interesting observation that most public figures, celebs and even evangelists lead double lives. They have a private and a public persona. The latter may be in complete contrast to what is projected in the former but invariably comes to the surface during unguarded moments. It is...

Are you sure that this is a natural unadulterated vista of sunset in your area? The colours just look out of this world. Never would I be indoors during sunset if I was a resident there. It looks so surreal and tranquilizing. I think you used a high resolution camera to immortalize this phase...

There is a quaint feel about the picture. It looks like a screengrab from the yesteryears when images were in black and white. The background looks surreal against the image of the seagull. I feel drawn to dive into photography in future but in a niche area.
