“There is no depth to education without Art.” - Amiri Baraka
The NCF 2005 has emphasized Art as a subject at all stages covering all four major spheres, i.e. Music, Dance, Visual Arts and Theatre; and these four domains are an integral part of a person’s growth and development. Therefore, CBSE strongly endorses Art Integrated Learning as it is necessary for the holistic growth of a child.
Pathseekers, right from its commencement, has always promoted Art Integrated Learning and Art is a vital and an integral part of the school’s curriculum as the benefits of this fabulous pedagogical tool are boundless.
Advantages of Art Integrated Learning
- Art Integrated Learning as an educational tool promotes and nurtures experiential and delightful learning. It leads to the creation of happy classrooms where students get a secure and supportive environment.
- It enriches and enhances creative thinking, problem solving abilities and enquiry skills of the students.
- It also broadens the horizon of the learner’s knowledge because of its multi-disciplinary approach. It helps in providing ample opportunities and platforms to cultivate leadership qualities and self- esteem among learners and also boost their confidence. Art Integrated Learning helps in improving communication skills, critical thinking; appreciation for aesthetics and enables students to express themselves in different forms.
Therefore, to reap the aforementioned benefits and rewards, both Visual and Performing Arts are an indispensable part of our school.
