Arts & Skills..

For me Arts is all about Portraying who you are.
Sometimes Messy and sometimes beautiful. ❤
This is what I am too.
Learning to work with pen, paper, colour, threads, mirrors, clay is equal to learning to take various responsibilities of life.
These classes has helped me to have a vision of a product and than work accordingly to make it reality. Just like I create small goals of life and try to achieve them.
Here are the list of beautiful art works that I learnt during these classes.

Thank you for facilitating these wonderful sessions Priyanka Chahwala & Neha Bhatia.

In the realm of artistic exploration, there exists a captivating fusion of tradition, innovation, and personal expression. Recently, I had the enriching opportunity to delve into various art styles and skills through a captivating class. This endeavor proved to be a transformative experience, unveiling the profound beauty and therapeutic essence nestled within artistic pursuits.Among them, two really stood out to me: Lipan art and pottery.

Lipan Art:

Lipan art wasn’t just about making pretty pictures; it was also about understanding the rich history and meaning behind each stroke.

Pottery: Creating Beauty from Clay

Working with clay to make pottery was another highlight. There’s something therapeutic about shaping clay with your hands and seeing it transform into something beautiful and functional. It’s like connecting with nature in a whole new way.

Painting on Walls: Surprisingly Therapeutic

Wasn’t sure what to expect from the painting on walls session, but it turned out to be really calming. With each brushstroke, I felt more relaxed and in tune with my surroundings. It was like painting away stress and worries.

The facilitators of the class were amazing! They made learning fun and exciting, and their enthusiasm rubbed off on all of us. Their guidance and support helped us explore new skills and express ourselves creatively. We’re really grateful for their awesome teaching!

I’m delighted to have joined art skills classes, initially feeling naive and anxious about where to start. However, under the guidance of Priyanka ma’am and Neha ma’am, I created various art pieces such as tissue paper art and lippan art, with the latter becoming my favorite, adorning my home as a unique nameplate. Additionally, learning wall painting was an incredible experience, unlike anything I’ve encountered before. Overall, the journey felt like a roller coaster ride, with initial uncertainties transforming into awe-inspiring final products.

Life class continues to be a fun, philosophical ride. Having finished with the 7 habits, we had Love class this time, where we learnt about the types of pain (legitimate and illegitimate), as well as discipline, and what real love looks like.

My key takeaways was how to build discipline realistically – not to rush everything at once, but to take things one day at a time, and being consistent. I also got to know of a recommended self-help book – “The Road Less Travelled” by Scott Peck, and I am going to check it out at the earliest.

I like how we were set up with a random person from the class, and got to know them better. My conversations with Mahmood sir were illuminating, and we shared conversation about life and world, and I learnt to consider new perspectives which I appreciate.

I also appreciate the potluck as it brought us closer, a lighthearted moment in between the sessions.

The movie served as a CFU for all our learnings – as well as being a valuable experience for what NOT to do in some situations 😛

Entering the magical world of the “Love” class had me excited because, well, love is just so interesting! I’ve been through the happy and tough parts of love, so I was eager to learn new things and maybe make sense of my own experiences. Even though I didn’t read “The Road Less Travelled” by Scott Peck, the cool stuff the facilitators shared totally made sense to me. Legitimate pain and illegitimate pain were like new puzzle pieces that fit into my understanding.

I liked when we all shared in groups and talked about our feelings. That part always helps me learn from others. But you know what? I kinda wished we moved around more or did more activities to really get the lessons into our hearts. There were fewer games and stuff this time compared to the class about the 7 habits.

The potluck thing was a surprise, but it made the class feel like a big family dinner, which was nice. The movie we watched on the last day was cool, but what if we flipped things around? Imagine watching the movie on the first day and then having the class connect the lessons to it. Oh, and a fun game or quiz between two groups on the last could make it super fun!

Big thanks to our facilitators, Jyoti Banthia and Sufyan Saiyed. They were calm and understanding, like the cool big siblings you can talk to about anything. They shared their wisdom, and I’m thankful for that. Can’t wait for the next edition!

I learned a lot in the love class, covering topics like pain, honesty, balance, and facing challenges. The movie we watched related to ideas in Scott Peck’s ‘The Road Less Traveled.’

Grateful to the facilitators for the insightful life class on love, covering aspects like pain, discipline, responsibility, truth, balance, openness to challenges, and delayed gratification. This impactful session not only fostered personal and professional growth but also included engaging activities like games and debates, deepening our understanding of the subject. My thanks extend to the school and facilitators Jyoti Ma’am and Sufyan Sir for providing valuable growth opportunities for teachers. The recent enriching session fuels anticipation for upcoming ones, reinforcing our commitment to continuous learning and the pursuit of fresh insights.

Jyoti Ma’am and Sufiyan Sir truly transformed our life class, steering us through an exploration of profound themes, with a central emphasis on the power of love. Their guidance unveiled a spectrum of perspectives, leaving us with a richer, more nuanced understanding of these essential concepts.

Thank You Jyoti Ma’am and Sufiyan Sir.
