TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I taught Art Education at the Atomic Energy Central School, Hyderabad, a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India, from 1986 to 2015.I have been involved with students of diverse background and varying age groups, teaching them the rudiments and nuances of art, drawing and painting. Have been interacting with senior as well as contemporary artists from different genres, practicing with various media and focusing on a variety of themes. This has imbibed in me a deep insight to view art in its entirety with a holistic approach. Besides, I have been guiding art enthusiasts and learners on the basic aspects as also advanced techniques of art, drawing and painting. I continue to mentor budding artists. Have conducted art workshops and coordinated art shows and events. Assessing and reviewing art works and art studies have been a part of my work profile.
