Arts
“Culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.” – Thomas Wolfe
A life lived without the comfort of the arts is a life half-lived! At The HPS, we train our students to work on developing all sides of themselves, which includes indulging in the arts.
ART
Art education is a subject under the ICSE Board syllabus. Middle school students enjoy art classes and learn skills of drawing, painting, origami and clay modelling. They learn to make the best out of waste articles, 3D models and paper craft. Senior students of class 9 and 10 take Art as optional subject, and are trained for ICSE board exam. They are trained for Paper 1-Still Life and Paper 2-Nature Study. ISC students have taken Art as an optional subject. Folk art workshops are conducted in collaboration with SPICMACAY. Inter-house drawing and painting competitions are conducted. Students are encouraged to take part in art competitions conducted by various organizations.
