On the way to Old Goa from Panjim there is a short trek in a forested area, which leads you to the St Antonio Spring, this natural spring has a waterfall. The trek is very short and this place is off the tourist radar yet. Historically this place was frequented by the Portuguese elite women as a bath house for them. We shall take the students to this place, have a short trek, enjoy at the waterfall and then do a quick cleanup of all the dry garbage, which shall be kept at the collection center near the spring for the village panchayat to collect it for segregation and proper waste management. We shall inform the Panchayat about this exercise with the students.

Details
The two-hour workshop introduces participants to the Fauvism movement and its distinctive style of painting. Participants will learn the techniques and principles of Fauvism by creating self-portraits using bold/bright colors, simplified forms, and expressive brushwork. Fauvism was a short-lived but influential modern art movement that emerged in France in the early 20th century. The term "Fauvism" comes from the French word "fauve," which means "wild beast." The movement was characterized by the use of bold, vibrant colors and simplified forms, often applied with expressive brushwork. Fauvist artists sought to break away from traditional academic art and create works that were more spontaneous and emotionally charged.
