We usually pick a specific show or artist to break down, analyzing everything from the symbolism in a contemporary painting to how a curator arranges a physical space. It is about teaching your eye to look past the surface—whether we are sketching in a museum courtyard or discussing an exhibition, you will walk away knowing exactly how to deconstruct and appreciate what you are seeing. ### Why We Step Outside Classrooms have walls, but art is limitless. My studio curriculum is built on the belief that observation is a muscle. If you only look at your own work, you are missing the dialogue that has been happening between artists for centuries. When we visit galleries, we are not just looking at pictures; we are decoding decisions. ### What You Will Experience Our gallery walks take us across Mumbai’s art landscape, visiting institutions like the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya and galleries like Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke. * **Active Analysis:** We do not just walk and talk; we sketch. We might play games where we describe a painting to a partner who has to draw it based solely on our words. It is a fast track to understanding composition and color theory. * **Demystifying the Masters:** I guide you through complex works—from Gieve Patel's quiet urban observations to the surrealism of Dilip Ranade or the layered fabric sculptures of Gurjeet Singh. You do not need to know art history to start; you just need curiosity. * **Community and Conversation:** It is a group experience. You will hear what other students saw, which often challenges your own perspective and helps you see layers of meaning you might have otherwise missed. Whether you are a student preparing for design school or an adult learner discovering art later in life, these sessions bridge the gap between looking and seeing. You will learn how to read an exhibition, understand the narrative behind an installation, and find your own voice by engaging with the broader art world. ## About Purnima Sampat I’m Purnima, and I believe the best classroom is the one without walls.
