Warli Art Classes for Kids in Malleshwaram, Bangalore
Warli, the whole world drawn from three shapes
Warli is built from a circle, a triangle and a line, and out of those three shapes the Warli people of Maharashtra draw harvests, weddings, hunts and the tarpa dance. For a child it is the clearest possible lesson in how much you can say with very little, and it is the one folk form a five-year-old can genuinely do well.

Warli, the whole world drawn from three shapes
Because Warli looks simple, it is usually taught as a stick-figure exercise. What gets lost is that it is narrative art — every panel is a scene with people doing something together. We teach the vocabulary and then the composition, so the child ends up telling a story rather than scattering figures.
Malleshwaram has the strongest existing culture of Sanskrit and scripture learning of any part of Bengaluru, along with more temples per square kilometre than anywhere else in the city. Parents here ask the most exacting questions about pronunciation and lineage, and they are right to.

Both use the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. If Malleshwaram is within a sensible drive, tell us and we will send the current offline batch timings.

2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for IST. Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, plus weekend morning batches, generally set to fit around the Carnatic and Sanskrit classes many of these children already attend..
