ARTS

It is imperative to provide the students an atmosphere that kindles their imagination and creative streak. To further these goals an array of activities are planned to recognize and tap on their hidden potential.

Some of these activities are as follows:

VISUAL ARTS:

In the words of Mau Lou Cook Creativity is in inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.

Art is an international form of communication dealing with the natural world at an emotional level, a basic common skill that passes beyond the barriers of culture, language and creed. It is indeed an important part of a child?s development. It is one of the building blocks of life. As a corner stone in education, art teaches the ability to convert theoretical progression into practicality. It plays a significant part in recognition, identification and relationships in each and every interactive subject.

We, at Amity, teach children to create works of significance or indeed beauty, that stimulates joy and excitement and in its creations can bring peace and tranquility and most important of all a sense of achievement.





Claymodelling and Ceramics

Clay is an innovative art material used to create pottery and ceramics, hand moulded, or hand worked into the desired shapes. This Kids Art Unit introduces students to the three different ways to make a sculpture which includes carving, modeling, construction and Rolling . The students create wonders with clay by thumping, smashing and squishing it. They portray their creativity by making different structures and unleashing the raw talent that is inherent in them.
