The NGMA is Bengaluru’s own little gem for art lovers. If you enjoy the Visual Arts, you are likely familiar with this wonderful gallery. If this space is new to you, you are in for a treat.
The galleries at the NGMA are housed in the historic Manikyavelu Mansion, which is set amid a lush, green campus, every inch of which demands to be drawn.
We invite you to join a group of art enthusiasts, who share your love for drawing. You don’t need artistic skill to participate in this event – just boundless curiosity and a love for drawing. So, bring along your sketch-book and join us as we draw a slice of Bengaluru history at the beautiful campus of the NGMA.
We will begin our session with a brief introduction by the BlrHubba team on the historical relevance of the space. Following this, there will be a brief introduction to the concept of on-location sketching and sketch journaling by the founders of Penciljam.
We will then disperse to find interesting views and locations to draw NGMA, the currently ongoing and extensive exhibit of J.M.S Mani or the beautiful trees that dot the campus. Drawing activity will continue for an hour, after which we will regroup to discuss our drawings, for Q&A about each others sketches and for group photographs.
To connect with other participants, please use our Discord community app.
Things to carry for this session:
– A sketchbook/paper
– Pencils or any medium you would like to try out
– A portable chair/mat. If the location has no seating, we tend to sit on the ground
– Umbrella/raincoat, water, and snacks
