Forest and Life
We conduct Let's Start Art sessions to create a holistic and inclusive approach towards education through art-integrated learning in Government Primary Schools. Art-integrated learning follows the experiential education approach, which emphasizes 'learning by doing.'The second set of Let's Start Art sessions were conducted on the theme "Jungle aur Jeevan", derived from a chapter in the Environmental Studies syllabus of children from Government Primary Schools of Varanasi. Approximately 700 students from 20 schools attended these art sessions. -

Bapu in the Drawings of Children
The topic of the art sessions conducted in September was “Mahatma Gandhi”. The art sessions introduced them to the inspiring stories from the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Since, students knew little about him and his life, they were very curious while listening to the many stories of bapu. After listening to the stories about him, they were able to envision the kind of person he was, his teachings and habits and that’s what they have depicted in their drawings.
