City Dreams — Dream City' is currently being held in the City as a part of the 'Indo-German Urban Mela'.
The Goethe Lounge, the pavilion where the workshop is being held, is open to people who want to share their thoughts about their dream city.
Anyone who walks in is free to contribute — the idea being to create an entire city out of waste material.
Artists Gaurav Juyal, host of Disney channel's 'Art Attack' and Steffi Silbermann, a Berlin-based product designer, are guiding and teaching young visitors to convert junk into pieces of art.
The idea is to build a dream city — mostly out of scrap material — by the end of the mela. The wall space is open to anyone who wants to share their thoughts about their dream city.
One can choose graffiti, street art, draw, sketch or write their train of thoughts on the walls of the pavilion.
The theme for the mela is 'City Space' and there is a message behind every
sketch, drawing or painting on the walls.
Children from Mallya Aditi International School, Delhi Public School, St John's High School, SJR Primary and High School and several other institutions participated in the mela.
"For young children in schools, art is usually restricted to mountains, a sun and a house. This is a refreshing change for many to explore their creative side," explains Maureen Gonsalves, the programme co-ordinator.
Lakshith N Jain, a third-standard student of Kamala Central School, had made a spaceship and was visibly proud of it.
A second-standard student from East West Academy, Aryan, expressed his love to create sceneries. "I like to sketch and paint when I'm not studying," he says.
A few parents chose to bring their children to the exhibition to let them absorb the atmosphere, unleash their creative side and expose them to a creative environment.
"I want to make guns and spaceships — because I like them," says four-year-old Karun Achen excitedly.
The workshop will be held till July 1 at the Culture Pavilion, Palace Grounds.
