 Our Aim
In this journey of life, we often see an ever changing phenomenon of shapes, forms, colours, movements and sounds. These elements give birth of certain emotional stirrings from the core of one’s being. However, for every individual, the emotional response is different and hence, here in lies the diversity in creative expression. However, different they may see to be, they all are unique and individual in character.
The joy of living is to be alive to this ever changing phenomenon and thus THE HERITAGE SCHOOL, ROHINI provides a platform. Fine arts are a learning which is training in seeing, in sensing, in feeling, in listening and finally in creating.
The aim of fine art program in the school encourages children to found the ways of their expressions: Expression to the reality to unreality; the static to the kinetic, the old and the new existing. The program ensures that at teach level, students not only build skills, but also become more comfortable and confident in meeting the challenges of aesthetic self expression.
The subject, the medium, or the degree of skill is relevant. So, is the simplicity or complexity of the work? The thinking that is relevant, is most important, is precious and priceless is creation.
Visual Arts Program
 Children in Nursery Kindergarten use their experiences and knowledge to explore and express their ideas through guided exploration in the classroom, using variety of tools and material. They act out stories, experiment with language, and express themselves through colours, clay, sand and indigenously available material. Children in nursery and kindergarten are given many opportunities to create meaning to give shape to their ideas and feelings to develop the aesthetic sensibility, and to enjoy the arts.
In primary stage the children are encouraged to improve fine motor skills and to lengthen their ability to focus. The visual Art program for primary stage is to make students able to satisfy the inner urge of expression through various mediums of art. To develop all the senses of a child through observation, exploration and expression children get opportunity to explore various mediums such as clay, sand, craft material etc. The children of primary classes are capable of making simple forms like balls, beads, cubes slabs bowls etc. Sometimes they make abstract figure and name them.
Experience gained by learners at the primary stage in the area of fine arts develop enough motivation and interest in students in their Upper primary stage. Child’s perception and knowledge begin to expand beyond their personal environment to the broader context of the world around them. Students then move from interest in Art solely for personal expression towards a broader interest in art. At this level Art Program gives exposures of all mediums to develop the skills & techniques while expressing themselves freely. Children opt with the subjects they are most inclined towards and get exposure of other related forms as well in a ratio of 60:20:20 In terms of Drawing and painting, craft and clay modeling. Activities proposed for each grade are graded from simple to complex in order to stimulate creative thinking, self expression, and manipulative skills, to sharpen the perception of the child as he/she grows.
For the secondary children school provides various streams to given an opportunity to children to specialize in his/her interest area. Through direct instruction and practice, students learn skills that help them to explore and express themselves meaningfully.
