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.
‘Through Zaria Forman’s art, I got to see Greenland as a cold, icy landscape with glaciers flowing toward the sea. It has been a learning experience for me. I learnt how to use oil pastels and paints and I’m walking away with a better knowledge and understanding of how art can teach us about nature. Her art helped me feel connected.’
Sayma, 12 year old Akanksha student
‘Our Earth is our home and its getting too hot.’

‘My artwork represents the impact of habitat destruction using symbolic patterns and colours to highlight the urgency of conversation. While creating it I felt a mix of concern, empathy and hope. It connects to aboriginal art through storytelling and I aim to raise awareness and inspire action to protect our disappearing ecosystem.’
Kirti, 13 year old Akanksha student
‘I love this Greta Thunberg quote and see the power of art as a tool to raise awareness about environmental issues.’

‘Turtles can breathe on land and in water and have shells that are so hard, they can never break!’
Divyansh, 9 year old Akanksha student
‘We always hope for the best but it is not enough to hope. We need countless ideas and efforts which come together to accomplish a task. Hence I think that with hope we need action. If hope is a vehicle, action is the wheels which drive it.’
Supriya, 14 year old Akanksha student
‘I love Yayoi Kusama’s dots. Dots are the entire world and in that world my family and friends are there and so its important to me.’
Kishnapriya, 9 year old Akanksha student
‘Yayoi Kusama says we are dots that can’t live alone. We need each other to complete our life.’
Swayam, 13 year old Akanksha student
‘I think eyes are so beautiful and in this eye, I have made a beautiful world – the sea, greenery. Eyes are so important to help us look at things carefully.’
Rhythm, 9 year old Akanksha student
‘After learning about turtles my only dream is that humans should learn to protect and treat our oceans to see the magical things happening in the nature we saw with olive ridley turtles.’
Swara, 12 year old Akanksha student
