Art of the day

Art of the day: draw yama, the god of death

MATERIALS NEEDED:

  • 1. Paper, pencil & eraser
  • 2. Acrylic paint and brush

PROCEDURE

Make a stylized (abstract) drawing of "Yama - the God of Death". Feel free to be innovative and make your own unique "Yama". While you make your masterpiece, let us tell you a story about Yama:

One story goes like this: There was a king who lived for a hundred years. Then Yama, the god of death comes and tells him, 'Your life is over, O King, come now, it is time, let us go.' The king says, 'What is this? You gave me such a beautiful kingdom, such a beautiful life, such wonderful wives, kids; you have given me everything. 100 years is too short to enjoy this life. Please bless me with 100 more years.'
