On the opening ceremony of the workshop, Executive Director Lahore Arts Council Ather Ali Khan said: “We are arranging these art related summer workshop for the students because arts and creativity are two inevitable elements of a comprehensive learning strategy.”

Our teens love to learn with play and arts. This is the right phase to mould them into better creative persons and open them a world of artistry. In fact, this way of learning is going to help them to grasp the knowledge better, memorize it for long and apply what is learnt in real life in a more tactical way said, he added.

Alhamra Culture Complex has registered 40 children for the drawing workshop and their age group is from 6-15 years old. Children will be taught the basic techniques of drawing under the supervision of Alhamra Art Museum’s curator Ms Hajra Mehmood and exhibition officer Babar Mustafa.
