Swapnil Chauhan has been interested in colours for as long as he can remember. He enjoys thinking out of the box, discovering different art forms and famous artists from around the world was his hobby.

No wonder, Swapnil Chavan loved Art for Akanksha’s weekend classes. For him, the classes were like Pandora’s Box waiting to be opened – every weekend offered something new and exciting to learn.

Before art classes came along, Swapnil spent his weekends doing homework. Once the classes began, life changed. “It was a time of enjoyment in my busy life,” he says. Not just that, he realised that participating in art classes increased his confidence. He found his brain thinking faster. Mathematics, science, toying with numbers and conducting experiments – our young Picasso began to find it all extremely interesting.

“He has grown exceptionally in many ways – his English improved, he excelled in all the other subjects, and today ‘he’s on a different planet’!” Said Rupa didi, Swapnil’s Centre teacher who found the Akanksha topper immensely focussed.

Working with a calm demeanour and sincerity, Swapnil won over everyone including his Art teacher, Salli didi, who found his attitude of giving his best to everything and his sense of perfection very inspiring. “I go deep into everything I see and it’s because of art. Here in Art Class I have found a new world,” he smiled.

We hope his discoveries in this new world take him places. Swapnil was an Akanksha topper in grade 10, graduated from National Institute of Technology,  Karnataka and now works as a software engineer at Walmart Global Tech Services, Bangalore
