Visual & Performing Arts

All art experiences in Pre-Primary years is a part of the mainstream curricular practices in progressive methodology. Art Integrated Learning (AIL) is based on learning 'through the arts' and 'with the arts'. Art integration in early years leads to understanding of concepts within any subject in later years. In Shikshantar children get an opportunity to explore, experiment, create and express themselves freely with the use of spaces like floor, walls, staircases, school stage, newspaper sheets etc. allowing free emotional expression, communication and creative involvement.

Srija (Art)
The world of colours opens up for a child in Srija. He gives form to his imagination by working with his hands using a whole array of art material. Paints, clay, recycled material, different kinds of papers when explored through different techniques helps evolve his creative self.

Tarana (Music)
Music and songs help every child connect to his inner self and find calm within. They develop a sense of rhythm as well as an understanding of beats. Exploring different musical instruments and their sounds is their first step to creating instruments themselves

Nachiketa (Library)
Stories, role plays and dramatisations, in fact, a whole world of literary experiences gets initiated in Nachiketa. When the children visit the library, read and listen to stories, they are drawn into the world of imagination and seek expression through the visual and creative arts.
