ART CENTER
One of the objectives of education is to inculcate in children, the appreciation of beauty and to help them develop a sense of aesthetics. A lot of emphasis is placed on the Fine as well as the Performing Arts. In primary school, compulsory exposure is given to art and craft, music and dance, dramatics etc. In Middle school, each student chooses one or two areas to develop expertise in, and skilled guidance is provided on a regular basis.
Modules are taught using a variety of teaching and learning methods, including lectures, seminars and workshops. Students are often expected to prepare material for presentations in seminars. In practical projects, students carry out practical art work which functions as a basis for research into art, craft and design education. Students are provided with study packs for independent study modules.
In addition to painting, sketching and regular craftwork, students are exposed to a variety of media. Emphasis is placed on making “the best from waste” by using old boxes, sheets, beads, plastic bottles, used fax and toilet paper rolls, etc. Students will receive instruction in Fine Arts from K.G. through Grade 12.
The arts department at Gurukul is structured to initiate students in a multitude of expressionist media including pencil, pastels, crayons, clay and plaster.
The highlights of the Arts department:
- Annual art fair
- Music- appreciation, theory in instrument playing, song, dance.
- Learn new instrument to develop their musical abilities by the joining school band.
Performing Arts
The performing arts are an important aspect of music and dance and are a method of enhancing music literacy and appreciation.
Our final goal is to create a well rounded, thoughtful and independent music maker, dance choreographer, painter etc. The fine arts section is more than experiential, hence we offer opportunities to create, recreate and appreciate satisfying musical, dance or painting expression.
Dance and Drama help children develop their personalities, gain self-confidence and improve communication skills. Children develop fluency in movements and actions, and learn to express themselves emphatically, in a creative manner.
Children learn singing as well as playing simple musical instruments right from the primary school, helping them to appreciate a mix of Indian and Western music. In the secondary school, activities are divided into two broad categories- performing and aesthetics. Students are encouraged to develop their talents by choosing any one in each group, keeping in mind their interest and innate potential. Professionals are appointed to hone their talents further.
