Hence, we at DPSIS strongly believe that the  academic education, complemented with the expressive discipline of Arts &  Crafts, play a major role in shaping the overall personality of our students               
  To highlight this strong belief, a weeklong  celebration of Creativity was held at DPSIS starting 13th January,  2009.  Various activities and  competitions were organized across the spectrum of classes to reinforce the  importance of Arts & Crafts and generate a greater appreciation towards it.  These events provided the dipsites an opportunity to unleash their creativity  and showcase their inherent talents.        A plethora of activities were meticulously  planned and conducted by our well qualified and experienced art teachers, Ms  Meher Verghese & Ms. Yasmin Sirraj. To start with, a Quilt making activity,  focusing on team building was conducted for the students of Classes I to XI,  for each of the four houses.  The young dipsites were able to exhibit their  drawing and painting talents on a piece of cloth, which werethen stitched  together to form a colorful tapestry. The creativity and the imagination of  these young minds reflected upon this artistic masterpiece which presently  forms the backdrop of the stage in our school. It is sure to be a proud moment  for the Dipsites to see their bit of creation on display. Painting activities  such as face painting, stain glass painting and still life drawing were  conducted for students at various levels. The vibrant and lively colors along  with the creative designs used, demonstrated the enchantingly magical world of  our budding young minds, ready to explore the artist within themselves.         To instill a healthy competitive spirit among the  students, coloring & painting, clay modeling and Chinese lantern making  competitions were also held at various levels. A recycling competition was also  held to spread the awareness of saving our environment.  It was indeed a  fascinating and an awesome sight to see our students compete with each other in  a fun-filled atmosphere.Their unlimited and striking creative ideas left one  and all, spell bound!          These weeklong activities at our  school celebrated creativity, spontaneity and encouraged  experimenting among our students. It fostered the belief of self-expression in  a positive open environment and helped improve the motor skills,  problem-solving and enhanced creative thinking. The  results of the week reflected the diverse and imaginative world of our art loving  students and taught them as to how beauty is born and  how artists create masterpieces.          Art with passion & creativity!        ![]()       |
