Art serves as a bridge to both self-awareness and our understanding of the world. Our visual art and design program goes beyond skill acquisition; it fosters curiosity, encourages self-expression, and provides insights into the surrounding environment.
In the primary wing, young artists engage directly with a variety of colors, shapes, and textures through hands-on activities like art, pottery, and crafts. These activities not only help develop fine motor skills but also provide an enjoyable journey of exploration and self-expression.
In junior school, the emphasis shifts towards nurturing children's expression and creativity by focusing on the process rather than just the final product. This approach enhances visual, spatial, and tactile awareness while promoting a joyful exploration of different mediums and techniques. As a result, students improve their manipulative skills and build self-esteem and confidence.
In middle school, students are given the opportunity to choose between Art & Design and Pottery as elective subjects, enabling them to tailor their education to match their developing interests. Those who opt for Art & Design receive a comprehensive introduction to design principles through an array of creative projects. These projects are designed not only to build essential skills in areas such as composition, color theory, and digital media but also to encourage personal expression and creativity. Additionally, students engage with a wide range of artists and artworks from various historical periods and cultures, providing them with a broader understanding of the artistic landscape and its diverse influences. This exposure helps cultivate an appreciation for different artistic traditions and perspectives while fostering critical thinking skills. By choosing an elective that aligns with their passions, students can deepen their knowledge and develop unique talents that may guide their future educational choices or career paths.
Senior school provides a comprehensive program that delves deeply into the disciplines of drawing and painting, while also encouraging students to experiment with various other media. The CBSE curriculum is meticulously designed to enhance students' skills, engage them with key artistic concepts, and immerse them in art history. This multifaceted approach ensures that students not only develop technical proficiency but also gain a robust understanding of the broader context of the arts. By fostering the creation of a substantial body of creative work, the curriculum prepares students for further education in college and potential careers in the arts. Moreover, this rich educational experience cultivates a lifelong appreciation for artistic endeavors, equipping students with both the confidence and competence to pursue their passions beyond the classroom.
