Art 1^st

"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 1^st 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.

Edutainment

"A confluence of theatre and music."

What is edutainment? Edutainment, both inside and outside the classroom, helps to make learning fun. Teachers can use education and entertainment together in a variety of ways, including theatre, drama, music, and using modern technology. These methods simultaneously entertain and educate students. It gives every child an opportunity to explore, research, collect data, analyze and creatively present the information on the relevant topic

उमंग - Clubs@DPSAgra

Clubs get a child involved in a team in school which help them learn how to work with others from an early age, and teach them important social skills. Clubs also help them in school; during the class, to participate in group work so as to develop their team building skills. Joining clubs and having competitions with peers is a great way to make new friends, build respect and learn team work, gain self-confidence, relieve stress and learn real-world skills. Students may choose any one of the following Clubs:
