Nanhe Kalakar 3.O (2023) Overview
Art is a hypernym for “ कर्ता कर्म क्रिया” implying thereby that Art is a gamut of human actions, the resultant creation of human actions and also the creator itself which refines the human character and acumen. The positive impact of art on children is thoroughly researched and well documented and thus it is safe to say that Art plays a significant role in development of child’s cognitive, emotive, communication, creative thinking, problem solving and social skills.
Comprehending the significance of Art for every Child, we designed our initiative “Nanhe Kalakaar: Bachpan ke badhte Kadam”. This initiative is aimed to promote art among children and ignite their creative spirits. Nanhe Kalakaar is a combination of art based educational programs and an exhibition to showcase the young talent thereby unleashing the boundless potential of budding artists.
