Drawing/Sketching/Painting
The objective of the course is to enhance and refine the skills of the Hidden Talents. Nurture them to understand the methodologies, materials and fast changing techniques.
Drawing
Drawn animation – also known as traditional animation, or cel animation – is when each frame of the film is hand-drawn on transparent cel sheets. In the beginning, cels were used only for backgrounds. The characters were drawn on sheets of rice paper, then placed under the drawn background to complete a scene.
Free Hand Drawing
Freehand drawing is the ability to draw something without depending on instruments or something else to draw. We guide the drawing process with only our hand, and it depends on our observational skills. Instead of tracing the likeness of a cat, or using instruments to do it for us, we draw it by hand.
Objects & Nature Study
NATURE-STUDY, as a process, is seeing the things that one looks at, and the drawing of proper conclusions from what one sees. Its purpose is to educate the child in terms of his environment, to the end that his life may be fuller and richer.

Indoor Sketching
Sketching is an essential part of the interior design process. Your sketches are your first starting point when it comes to planning the room layout and finer details of the scheme. Sketching is a skill that needs to be learnt.
Still Life
The term “still life” describes a work of art that shows inanimate objects from the natural or man-made world, such as fruit, flowers, dead game, and/or vessels like baskets or bowls.
