Book reading, furniture painting and fun galore<\/em><\/p>\n

Art for Akanksha\u2019s summer workshops at Ashok Tower teed off once again this year. The children tried their hand at furniture painting as they learnt its nuances, different art techniques and introspected on some incredible Dr. Seuss quotes. Oh the places they went and the stories they shared! They went where “It\u2019s opener there in the wide open air,” because they wanted to fly and soar. They discovered their super powers and donned their super hero look. Vir \u2013 the super climbing man, Ahaana\u2019s super hero name was \u2018Flexi\u2019, Tara – the Mathemagician, Arishka \u2013 whose super power was her ability to sing and enchant others! And so very many more… The book reading sessions set the pace for the day, with the kids enacting their favourite parts. The kids were so excited to see their piece of art on the furniture that they couldn\u2019t wait to take them back home and proudly display it to their families. We were happy to receive messages from mothers to let us know that their kids had a blast and were eager for more such art activities in the future.<\/p>\n
