We have begun offering a 3-week series of 2-hour seminars at Bookwise, a local bookstore in the Shahpur Jat area of south Delhi. This has been a bit of an adventure as this is new ground for us. the first session, September 5, was on the Renaissance, featuring Leonardo da Vinci. The second session was last Saturday, September 12 and focused on Impressionism, featuring Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh (though some who classify him as post-Impressionist). This coming Saturday, September 19, we will concentrate on contemporary Indian Artists and have asked an Indian, who is a recent graduate from an Art program in a local university, to be guest speaker.
Here's Aarti, one of the owners of the bookstore, with Janis. They are holding our introductory flyer:

So far, we've had about 10 participants in each session, and, given the size of the area we're working in, this is ideal:
Following a brief summary of the particular period of art that we're concentrating on, we have given them activities that include some aspect of that type of art. Here they are working on a "detail" of a Impressionist's art piece:
