    • Why Arts should be taught?

      by Karishma Srivastava October 31, 2020

      Let's Start Art

      “Shouldn’t you just teach the students who are actually good at drawing, rest of them won’t get it.”

      Sound familiar? The concept of education in our country is limited to the mark sheets of the students. Children who take interest in drawing, singing or any other form of arts are generally asked to focus on the studies, stop distracting themselves with the extracurriculars and concentrate on the ‘subjects that matter’. These challenges have so far disabled the arts from serving their actual purposes.

    • Colourful Logics of a Child

      by Karishma Srivastava October 21, 2020

      Let's Start Art

      Can you interpret your child's drawing?
      Child Art is a result of the observations, emotions, experiences and imagination of a child, which later helps her develop into a creative person. While our children put so much effort into their drawing, we have a habit of distinguishing them as good or bad without even trying to understand them.

      Some drawings are just drawings, with obvious meaning. But sometimes you can discover deeper meanings out of your child's drawings, and figure out what she/he is feeling or trying to express.

    • Online learning: Unorganised & Unfair solution to the Educational Crisis

      by Karishma Srivastava October 11, 2020

      Let's Start Art

      As the pandemic began to rise across the world, baffling the best of the world's doctors and scientists working in the search of its cure, the only directives suggested for common people were to keep washing hands and maintain social distance. In March, a nationwide lockdown was ordered to contain the spread of the virus, limiting the movement of the entire population of India. 

      It has been seven months since then, and education, as a result, has largely moved online. However, the question is, "Was India ready for this shift to online learning?"

      Let's Start Art

      While the concept of arts-integrated learning is still new in India, the students who have been attending Let's Start Art sessions have found their ways in relating the routine subjects with arts and learn better. The first set of art sessions in the month of January were conducted on the theme "If Trees could walk" taken from a poem in their Hindi textbook.

    • Happy New Year 2020

      by Karishma Srivastava January 8, 2020
      Let's Start Art
      Some of us relate vacations with staying at home and resting whereas others travel to different places to explore. In the first set of Let's Start Art sessions, we asked the students to recall their last holiday trips and how they travelled there. The theme was intended to make the students aware of means of transportation.
      In the second set of Let's Start Art sessions, the students made New Year greeting cards for their loved ones. Some of them made cards for their teachers and art instructors too.

    • What makes you happy?

      by Karishma Srivastava December 13, 2019

      Let's Start Art

      What makes you happy?

      We asked the students this simple question based on an English rhyme from their syllabus book "A Happy Child" and got amusing answers in the form of drawings. Children told us that they are happiest about the tiny little things in their lives despite all the adversities that they face.

    • The Dussehra Fair

      by Karishma Srivastava November 2, 2019
      LSA
      Festivals and holidays approached as soon as the month of October started. We conducted Let's Start Art workshops after Dussehra and asked the students to draw their experience of the holidays. We also asked then to read a chapter named "The Fair" from their English book and try to relate it with the Fair they visited.

    • Let's Play and Learn the Story of Garbage

      by Karishma Srivastava October 7, 2019

      LSA

      Most of the things that we vividly remember from our school education either had a picture related to the text in the book, or the words painted a pretty picture in our minds. There are countless studies that have confirmed the power of visual imagery in learning. For instance, one study asked students to remember many groups of three words each, such as dog, bike, and street. Students who tried to remember the words by repeating them over and over again did poorly on recall. In comparison, students who made the effort to make visual associations with the three words, such as imagining a dog riding a bike down the street, had significantly better recall.

    • FRIENDS, SPACE AND ALIENS

      by Karishma Srivastava September 6, 2019

      Lsa 2019

      Do you remember stocking up friendship bands before going to school? All of us used to wait for friendship day each year and gifted friendship bands to our friends. In the month of August, we conducted the first set of Let's Start Art workshops on the same theme. We asked the students to draw their friends and narrate their friendship stories. 

      In the second set of art sessions, we asked the students to ponder over the question- 'How exploring space improves life on earth?'.

    • LET'S START ART: JULY 2019

      Let's Start Art

      Wouldn't you love to watch your favorite movie with a nice cup of tea? This is what our theme was for the Let's Start Art sessions this month- Chai (tea) and Favourite movie. Schools reopened after long summer vacation, so the students were more excited than usual for the art class and Chai seemed to be a popular thing among children.

      Let's Start Art
      In the Let's Start Art sessions, students often make paintings that can easily help us figure out their relationship with their parents/siblings, the surroundings they are living in, the things they love or hate and many such factors.  In this session, we asked the students to make a paper mask of their favorite person, thing or fictional character.

    • LET'S START ART: APRIL 2019

      Let's Start Art: April
      "Did you notice, I'm in class 3rd now, and that means I'll get to attend the art classes", said Golu from Government Primary School, Nagwa, when we started the art sessions.  The new academic session started with the first week of April, so did our art sessions. In the first set of workshops, we asked the students to draw what they know about their city- Varanasi.
