The Gurukul Foundation Aakriti - School of Visual Arts

Aakriti, meaning “form” or “shape” in Sanskrit, is The Gurukul’s dedicated School of Visual Arts, a space where learners explore the world through creative expression and develop a deep appreciation for aesthetics. We believe that art and design are not just skills but powerful tools for communication, critical thinking, and self-discovery. Aakriti provides a nurturing environment where learners of all ages can explore their artistic potential under the guidance of experienced educators.

Art & Design

Our Art and Design program is a journey of discovery, where learners explore a wide range of artistic mediums and techniques. From drawing and painting to sculpture and digital art, learners are introduced to the fundamental elements of art and design, such as line, color, shape, and composition. Our dedicated educators guide learners through the creative process, encouraging experimentation and fostering critical thinking. Learners are encouraged to explore different styles, develop their own artistic perspectives, and express their ideas through visual storytelling. This exploration helps learners develop hand-eye coordination, fine-motor skills, fosters self-expression and emotional release.

Pottery

The Pottery program at Aakriti offers learners a unique opportunity to connect with the earth and create tangible works of art. Working with clay, learners develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and an understanding of three-dimensional form. Our experienced educators guide learners through various pottery techniques, including hand-building, wheel throwing, and glazing. Learners are encouraged to experiment with different forms, textures, and decorative techniques, creating functional and artistic pieces. This hands-on experience not only develops artistic skills but also fosters patience, perseverance whilst encouraging creativity and enhancing sensory awareness.
