The Roots




Art is and has always been the expression of man that has written out on the pages of time, a tale that was begun by Mother Earth herself when she painted the landscape with the green trees, splattered it with bright coloured flowers and fruits, sketched the blue hills and white peaked mountains, coloured the sky every hue of the rainbow from dawn to dusk and made the sparkling waters mirror this colourful transition.



The prehistoric man attempted to continue this tradition by writing his own story through the forms of man n beast on cave walls with just the mud and basic colours that nature gave him. The mud soon took form, crafted by his hands and then his discovery of tools gave shape to stone and metal as well. Thus we have the advent of sculpture. As civilisations emerged and discoveries made, handicrafts became an important occupation and one of the varied art forms.





Let us flip through a few pages of the story and analyze them…
