As we know that art develops creativity, problem-solving skills, analytical skills, etc. in a child. It also adds a new angle to real life situations.
I remember a student who while painting a cloud in a scenery, accidentally dropped a blob of green paint on the sheet. Mostly in such situation a child panics not knowing what to do, some may get upset or tear the sheet, some may cry, while some start with a new one.
But, children who are in continuous touch with any form of art have developed creative and problem-solving skills. Such children may react differently. They may see the problem in a totally new way. The student who dropped the colour immediately expressed, “Ma’am! Green colour fell on the sky. Should I make a tree there?” Such is the difference we aspire to create in every student.
We also understand the importance of academics in a child's life. Hence, our learning program is designed to foster patience and concentration to its fullest.
