CSA-ISP Art Fete 25-26: A Resounding Success!*The CSA-ISP Art Fete 25-26, held in the month of November was a spectacular event that showcased the artistic talents of our students from UKG to grade 8. The event was a culmination of a month-long guidance and training by the Art Department, where students were introduced to various art techniques such as Colouring techniques, pencil sketch Art, monochromatic painting, Flip book illustrations, Water colour, and Mixed media. Judging of the art pieces were done in collaboration with a parent Ms. Kannupriya who is a renowned artist and runs an organisation called Dhiti Arts.The event was not just about showcasing art, but also about giving back to the community. Our Change maker project students of grade 9 and 11 volunteered to help conduct the event as an "Art for cause" initiative.
