Art 1st
"Art is the creative expression of humanity. Whatever can be interpreted in a visual form in terms of shapes, colours, figurines etc. is art."
Art 1st was introduced with a vision to create and develop learning environments that nurture and strengthen imagination, visual literacy, creative skills and cultural awareness of children and educators. The Art1st program was inducted in the curriculum of DPS Agra, in 2016. Through this program, art was taken out from the routine drawing of sceneries or figures and was given an infusion of new energy. Whereby it acquired the ability to become a powerful medium; through which we can understand ourselves and transform the world around us. We believe that everyone is born creative and curious, eager for meaningful experiences. The work done by the students over the span of last 3 years has shown progression and movement towards the vast uncharted and unknown but thoroughly intriguing and exciting world of art. Their work continually promotes the joy and transformative nature of art. The curates show exhibits at the end of every academic year, showcase the work of each child, each work being unique, distinct and special.
Book Project / Quill Club
The school is encouraging budding writers every year through a special training course being conducted by an eminent professional writer, Mr. Hemant Kumar. Till date three books namely ‘Internal Reflections’, ‘Off the Beaten Path’ and ‘The Golden Rain’ have been published containing the creative expressions of our students.
Edutainment
"Edutainment is one of the best means of education"
Delhi Public School Agra has taken a unique initiative to conduct ‘Edutainment Programmes’. This programme is designed for the students and by the students. It is the creative work of the students, and as the name suggests ‘education’ as well as ‘entertainment’. It gives every child an opportunity to explore research, collect data, analyze and creatively present the information on the topic. The programme also gives a platform to the parents to express their views which ensure that they are as much a part of the programme as are their children. Hence, by the end of the session every student would have got the opportunity to express himself/herself in his/her unique manner.
