I had no prior knowledge of sculpture arts before, and I was very much interested in learning this art. I came across about Srishti course online & joined with so many doubts in mind like how they’ll teach online and in a 2-hour class per week how can I learn to make a sculpture and to my surprise, I have made 2 beautiful sculptures Ganesha and Shiva Parvathi. Srishti represents a new way of promoting pure Indian ancient form of art online. It is also an effective platform to connect artists and new entrants in direct and engaging ways. For me, it proved to be once in a lifetime opportunity to join this course. Venu Sir has got great knowledge of sculpturing following different styles e.g., Cholla Style.
I completed my Module 1 in Oct 2020. The course covers the temple architecture, the significance of each element in the temple, fundamentals like how to take measurements of sculpture, ornaments, hairstyles, crown, posture, etc. The course is not just restricted to teaching us to make just one sculpture but to give us the knowledge and confidence to make any sculpture of our choice in the future. I would highly recommend this course for everyone who loves to learn arts.

I am so glad I signed up for this class. The experience has been so valuable and more than what I expected it to be. I, not only learned about sculpting techniques but something invaluable flowered within myself. This would have not been possible without Venu Ji’s guidance and support. As a teacher, he is always there to answer any question or offer help to his students. He made himself available after class hours to work with students on individual projects. Venu ji encourages every student to go up and beyond his/her comfort zone. The results are simply marvelous. Thank you, Venu ji. I don’t think I can go ever back to not sculpting. I have developed a lifetime passion for this art form. Thank you🙏

Looking for a spiritual and satisfying artistic journey? Look no further! Prior art experience not required!
Srishti Gurukul’s course content is well tailored to introduce aspects of sculpting from very precise dimensions to aesthetics, temple architecture and free hand 2D drawing. However what one learns in this course goes well beyond sculpting and art. The resources and articles shared helped develop a newfound respect and awe for the intellect of ancient India!
The instructor, Venu Devu ji, has proved that art can be taught effectively from miles away, even to beginners, via online sessions and tutorials. Extremely dedicated, the instructor wants to see the students succeed and provides countless hours of support through work channels and extra zoom sessions. A single support session with the instructor can be transformative for one’s sculpting!
Why art? In this uncertain world, art helps ground and calm the mind. The benefits of art are innumerable but the sheer idea of creating something, even simple, is exhilarating and Srishti Gurukul can help!
