In this activity, I did a Mehandi class in lockdown it help me utilizing my time and invest in learning new skills
Learning outcome 1:
I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses during my time of training:
Strengths
- I am so creative that whenever my teacher used to tell me to make a composition without seeing or taking help from the internet and do all the filling on my own it was an easy task for me because I was very creative.
- i really spend a lot of time doing this that’s why I am good at fillings
Weakness
- I was terrible at finishing so the design I drew has no finishing it was creative my ideas were there but my design used to be dirty
- terrible in figures drawing because I am a beginner in this field I am unable to draw figures which is a very important point in Mehandi
- when I need to pour the mehndi in the cone because my hands get fully dirty so I don’t do that which is not a good sportsman spirit
Learning outcome 2:
- What was so challenging?
In Mehandi figure drawing is one of the main and most important things but for me, it was highly challenging and because it is Mehandi if you drew wrong the colour stain is there on your hands therefore, it is difficult to draw in the first go
2. Why was it challenging?
It was challenging because I needed more practice and to draw it with my hands without making mistakes and on paper without shaking too much of my hand so when I use to start making the figure my hand used to vibrate.
3. How did I overcome this challenge?
With the help of my supervisor so they got to know that I am making a lot of mistakes only in figures so they started only focusing on my figure drawing so they decided to give me a mehndi plastic hand so I can draw on it and also erase it whenever I want so there is no stain so it was very easy and convenient for me.
4. How do I feel about undertaking this challenge?
I am glad that I took this challenge and explored a new form and it is very helpful for me as at every festival my mother apply Mehandi so its a bonus for her and I am proud of myself that I tried to learn and try something just needed more practice
5. Have you done anything similar before?
No, I have never done something like this before but I am glad that I did.
6. How could this skill be useful to you in the future?
It will be useful to me in the future because in our family functions Mehandi plays a big role everyone is fond of Mehandi in our family so instead of calling anyone from outside I could rather help and also my mom loves Mehandi to the extent that she applies Mehandi in small associations too
Why is it important to learn new skills?
I believe trying and learning to explore stuff we should always try something new be it in any or everything
