This 14-day introductory course
will focus on the centuries-old traditional technique of miniature painting,
from the Indian subcontinent. The course will evolve around preparation of
materials, including brush-making, wasli-(paper)making, and processing the
paints/pigments in a traditional way. Demonstrations will also be an important
part throughout the course, which will include different techniques of making a
miniature painting (pencil, Siyyah Qalam, Gad’rang, gilding and bordermaking).
During the course, Aisha Khalid will also talk about the revival of
contemporary miniature painting in Pakistan.
The basic objective of this course is to encourage conceptual work in the participants after they have been introduced to certain skills and gained an understanding of the ancient art form of miniature painting. At the end of the course they will translate their previous assignment-based practice into their own personal visual vocabulary.
