‘The Sun is very important to live on this planet. It gives everything light and energy.’
Jyoti, 10 year old Akanksha student
This is a special space – one where the team of teachers, staff, children, alumni, partners and customers use their colours, shiny sequins and pompoms to talk about their art ideas, stories, triumphs as well as challenges. This is the voice of Art for Akanksha.
‘The Sun is very important to live on this planet. It gives everything light and energy.’
Jyoti, 10 year old Akanksha student
‘The Sun gives light for us to see and gives us energy. Here, the sun is spreading its magical rays to all living creatures.’
Aafiya, 10 year old Akanksha student
‘Every tree is a forest because it’s home for many birds and animals. Trees are living things and we should respect them.’
Shashank and Aarnav, 12 year old Akanksha students
‘I want to show that the world never stops—it’s like an alarm clock that keeps ringing. We must wake up, work hard, and act on big problems like pollution, global warming, and deforestation. It’s time to make better choices and protect our planet—before it’s too late.’
Krishna, 3 year old Akanksha student
‘Through this Banksy style stencil art, I want to send out a strong message – We need trees to breathe and to fight climate change. We must grow more trees and protect the ones we have. A green Earth is a healthy Earth.’
Sheron, 13 year old Akanksha student
‘Each animal plays crucial roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems, from pollination and seed dispersal to controlling populations and nutrients cycling.
Foxes, as medium sized predators. Their presence ensures the survival and stability of various life forms and the planet as a whole.’
Sanskruti, 15 year old Akanksha student
‘I chose to draw the two cranes because they reminded me of how nature can speak to us without using words. Cranes are calm and beautiful birds. The way the cranes’ necks are connected shows their strong bond. I used only black and white to show that even without color, we can share emotions like love, struggle, and harmony.
This drawing is a symbol of how different things—like light and dark or happy and sad—can still come together and make something beautiful.’
Pratik, 11 year old Akanksha student
‘I feel each and every animal is important for the earth. When I look into the eyes of an animal I do not see any animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul.’
Shweta, 15 year old Akanksha student
‘I think the lines and patterns on a turtle are so beautiful.’
Umme, 9 year old Akanksha student
‘I learnt from Yayoi Kusama that even weakness can be converted to strength just like she did with her dots.’
Soham, 13 year old Akanksha student
