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.

‘An aerial view provides a captivating perspective.

By observing from above, you gain a unique bird’s eye view that reveals details and patterns that may not be apparent from ground level.

This is my city – Pune.

There is more to it than buildings. It’s actually a green city and it can give a ‘takkar’ to major cities for its green cover!’ 

Chaitanya, 15 year old Akanksha student

 

Where does your city stand in comparison to Chaitanya’s?! 🙂

‘I love this – a colourful and abstract representation of my name.

I wrote my name and then cut it up and jumbled it around till you don’t see my name but it’s hidden in there.

I have used colours, lines and shapes to create something unique!’

Saee, 11 year old Akanksha student

If I had a magic wand.

I would colour the walls red and the fan red.

I love the rainy season because I can see a rainbow in the sky.’

Ritika, 5 year old Akanksha student

The clear sky leaves my eyes satisfied. The smell of the flowers and the earth is beautiful.’

Alfiya telling us about Nature

‘Nature teaches life lessons.

The flowers growing in little cracks say nothing is impossible.

The sunflower blooms in sunshine and says bad times will not always be there.

Trees shed leaves, new leaves grow and that says we can’t give up hope.

Birds can teach us so much from how they live.’

Alfiya, 14 year old Akanksha student
