The Gifting Tree
鈥楾he Gifting Tree鈥� brings together the work of Sonia Chitrakar, Archana Kumari and Kamta Tahir, three contemporary Indian artists who use bright colours, pattern and storytelling in different ways. Each artist has created a painting or drawing that references the importance of trees in supporting life. 鈥楾he Gifting Tree鈥� refers to a divine, life-giving tree otherwise known as Kalpavriksha, which appears in many religions and stories throughout India. Children can reflect on their own experiences of trees through two hands-on activities. Taking inspiration from the artists鈥� work, children are invited to draw a picture about the importance of planting trees and add their response to a cumulative display in the exhibition space. Children can also make a drawing of a problem-solving fantasy tree.
