Ken Robinson once said, The arts are about the qualities of human experiences. Through music, dance, visual arts, drama, and the rest, we give form to our feelings and thoughts about ourselves, and how we experience the world around us." I’ve always believed that art is more than a medium of expression, rather, it is a way of transcending the cultural and social barriers that restrict society. Whether it has been through my Nani’s life as an artist, my own paintings or photography; art has been integral in shaping the way I think and respond to situations. For this reason, I believe art and more importantly art education should be open and accessible for all. At Art Ki Pathshala, we hope to empower as many children with artistic voices and freedom.
