JOHN HEGLEY DIGITAL EVENT. 2. The Embroiderer with John Hegley Join John Hegley as he explores how paintings can inspire poetry. John focuses on a painting in Cartwright Hall, Bradford, called “Embroiderer” by Arpana Caur, and plays the Mandolin. You can find the video here https://www.bradfordlitfest.co.uk/?post_type=event&p=23498&preview=true C. POST EVENT ACTIVITIES. 3. Writing a Poem about “Embroiderer” Ask children to write a poem based on “Embroiderer”. They can use their mind map and use inspiration from watching John Hegley’s video. Discuss with children: o Will the poem rhyme? o Will they set their poems to music? o Will the poem have lots of adjectives and long lines? Or will the poem be short and punchy? o Should readers read the poem quietly or loudly? How will people know how to read it? o Will the words of the poem form a shape or will it be an Acrostic poem, where the first letter of each line spells out a word when you read downwards? o Will the poem just use words? Or will it have sounds too? 4. Who is Arpana Caur? Gather the children together and introduce Arpana Caur. o Arpana Caur is an Indian artist born in 1954, in Delhi. She comes from a Sikh family who fled the Pakistani West Punjab to the Republic of India in 1947 during the confusion over the partition of British India. o Kaur or Caur is a religious surname worn by all female Sikhs. o She learnt the Sitar, wrote poetry, but enjoyed painting the most. At the age of nine, she made her first oil painting, o She is inspired by Pahari miniatures (hill-paintings), Punjabi literature, and Indian folk art. o She used the 'scissors' motif so often that it earned her the pet name “kainchi”. Children may like to investigate Arpana Caur’s oil paintings: o You can find her oil paintings on her website here http://caurarpana.com/oils.html# o Or investigate her other paintings in Cartwright hall here https://artuk.org/discover/artists/caur-arpana-b-1954 . Are there any similarities in Arpana Caur’s paintings? . Are there any differences? Children may like to investigate Arpana Caur’s oil painting “The Water Weaver” which is in Cartwright hall here https://artuk.org/discover/artists/caur-arpana-b-1954 o LKS2 may like to experiment with Weaving with Water in this activity from Bradford Museums and Galleries https://www.bradfordmuseums.org/pdfs/inspire_me_to.weave_with_water.pdf 4. What are Madhubani or Mithila paintings? Gather children together and introduce the idea of Madhubani paintings. 5 o In the 1990s, Caur created a series of collaborations with Indian folk artists in the Mithila or Madhubani regions of the Indian state of Bihar. Using a map or globe children could identify where this area is in India. Explain that in the painting “Embroiderer” Mithila women painted the backgound. o Madhubani or Mithila paintings: . Are traditionally painted by women . Use colours that are derived from plants. Leave no space empty. All the gaps are filled with paintings of flowers, animals, birds, and geometric designs. Children might like to explore these images of Mithila paintings o Courtesy of Wikipedia . Krishna & Radha by Sita Devi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Krishna_%26_Radha_made_by_Sita_devi.jpg . First Night https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:First_night.png . God Vishnu in Fish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:God_Vishnu_in_Fish_Avtaar.jpg o Courtesy of the V & A. https://collections.vam.ac.uk/search/?q=Madhubani Ask children to draw a simple outline of a fish, a peacock or an elephant. o LKS2 may wish to use stencils or templates for the outline shape. o For UKS2 . There is a useful image showing the 12 stages of drawing a Mithila fish here https://artsycraftsymom.com/content/uploads/2014/06/Desktop1.jpg . There is a simple set of images here showing how a peacock image is put together https://thecraftyclassroom.com/crafts/india-crafts-for-kids/peacock-oil-pastel/ . There is also a simple video showing how to simply draw a peacock video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBmBQajskNc 8. Weaving Activities Arpana Caur’s painting the “Embroiderer” shows a piece of embroidered cloth in the background. Cloth making is a very important part of Bradford’s history and heritage. Children may like to experiment with weaving in different materials to create : o repeating patterns with objects and shapes o order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences Paper weaving o Paper weft templates can be found here http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/art/pdfs/paper_weaving_templates.pdf o Fold the warp sheet in half and cut down the vertical lines to create a paper “warp sheet”.

Arpana's introduction to paintings cam via sculpture after her tutelage under B.K. Gura. In the main, however, she is a self taught artist. She had a scholarship for advanced course in painting in St. Martius College of Art London 1979 but chose to return after a month as she missed her home & India. Her earliest exhibited paintings of 1974, of heavy muscular and rogynous women, are in a sombre palette. From the outset, she located her figures in the Punjabi milieu adopted by Amrita Sher Gil of women with their veils and thick khadi salwar-kameez texture on which the "Phulkaries" of Punjab could be embroidered. However Sher Gil's havelis and open spaces become congestive city pavements darkened corners, and Sher-Girl's melancholic figures of the "other" Indian appropriated by Arpana Caur as the tragic self. The relative isolation of the small urban family and the complexity of Arpana's own situation , of a fraught childhood with separated parents is seen in early paintings of her mother, her grandfather, and herself of the family selectively severed and then rejoined.
