The presence of art is needed in Education!

Oxford University Press recently organized a Capacity Building and Training Workshop for teachers in Delhi's Schools. This workshop was focused on the importance of integrating art into education and aimed at teachers for grades 1 to 5. Some key areas that this workshop examined were that Art Education is built around the different elements of Art such as Theatre, Drawing, Music, etc., and different ways in which Art Integrated Learning can occur across different subjects.

I find this workshop to be a great platform where teachers can learn new techniques of teaching that make their lessons more interesting for their students. I believe that art is one of the perfect mediums to do this. This is as I agree with how this article states that art covers all areas of a child's development - Arts such as Drama and Theatre help in one's social development while Sketching or Drawing can help in one's spiritual development.

I am glad to see that such workshops are also being organized in 8 other cities across India. Kudos to Oxford University Press for thinking of such a creative method for improving students' learning experiences in school.
