LEARNING IS LIFE

 Art as Sacred Prayer: The Path to Spiritual Self Sacred Gita, a whispered truth, A timeless path for age and youth. Its pages hold a gentle guide, To peace within, where answers hide. When art is born from heart's deep well, And Gita's wisdom starts to swell, The brush, the pen, the singing voice, Become a prayer, a holy choice. The work transforms, no longer plain, But worship, shedding earthly stain. Each stroke, each note, a whispered plea, To Him, the One, eternally. Art as devotion, pure and bright, Lost in love, a sacred light!

Lord Jagannath: A Poem Beyond the stars, a gentle hum, God's silent knowing, where all has come. A boundless mind, in endless space, Holding all life, in tender grace. The universe, a mighty hand, He guides and guards, across the land. He keeps the laws, the right and true, His steady presence, sees us through. In every breath, a gentle sign, His watchful care, forever mine. He feeds the soul, and shields the weak, From every harm, His mercies speak. A cycle turns, of birth and end, He holds it all, a faithful friend. To keep and guard, His wondrous art, A loving father, to every heart.

 भारतीय संगीत में 'आलाप' धीमी गति में बिना किसी ताल-बद्धता के राग के स्वरों का विस्तार है。 इसके अभ्यास से से  स्वरों की स्पष्टता, सांस पर नियंत्रण और मधुरता आती है。  अभ्यास की शुरुआत हमेशा सटीक 'सा' (षड्ज) से करें.  स्वर बिल्कुल भी न भटके。स्वर-स्थान और ठहराव: आलाप में प्रत्येक स्वर का स्थान (पिच) बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है。  किसी एक स्वर पर रुककर उसे सीधा और स्थिर गाने का अभ्यास करें स्वरों के बीच की दूरी को समझना आवश्यक है。 जैसे 'सा' से सीधे 'ग' या 'प' पर कैसे जाएं。 मींड और गमक का प्रयोग करें; आलाप गाते समय एक स्वर से दूसरे स्वर तक बिना टूटे जाने को 'मींड' कहते हैं。  मींड, खटके और कण-स्वरों के अभ्यास से आलाप में भाव पैदा होता है。 आलाप गाते समय अपना मुंह पूरा खोलकर 'आ' शब्द का उच्चारण करें। आ, ना, ता, नोम-तोम का उपयोग: आलाप गाते समय शब्दों (जैसे 'आ') का उच्चारण करें, ताकि गले का खुलापन और सांस का प्रवाह एक समान रहे。  वादी स्वर पर सबसे ज्यादा ठहराव और जोर दें l  आलाप को हमेशा तीन भागों में बांटकर रियाज़ किया जाता है: विलंबित (धीमी ...

  Joy in the Present: Embracing Life’s Now POEM To be wise, this is the art, Let not sorrow touch your heart. For those who've gone, or who remain, Life's current flows, through joy and pain. The past is gone, a faded dream, The future unknown, misty gleam. Live in the now, with open eyes, Accept the change, beneath the skies. Let go of worries, let them fly, Beneath a clear and open sky. This present moment, full and bright, Is all you have, your guiding light. This life is brief, a passing phase, Embrace its moments, in its haze. So learn and grow, with every breath, And find your peace, until your death.

  Expressive Doodles: Where Rhyme Meets Reaso n A rhyme on doodle art Hold your pen, a happy tool, Draw a loop, that's the rule. Wiggle, scribble, free your hand, Make a picture, so much grand. Mix some lines, both slant and long, Sing a little, happy song. Patterns bloom, a joyful spree, Art is fun, for you and me! Fill the spaces, shapes you see. Art is done, for all so free Doodle art for kids: A short note Doodle art for kids is a spontaneous and unstructured form of creative expression on a small card sheet (8cm X 8 cm) with a writing utensil.

In India, the Art Integrated Learning (AIL) is a new educational reform that mixes different subjects together by cross-cutting them with traditional artforms of India. It aims to break down the walls between regular school subjects and activities like art. Instead of seeing art as just one stand-alone subject, AIL encourages schools to use visual arts, performing arts, and even cooking, all based on Indian culture, to teach important academic ideas. This change turns classrooms into lively places where students can learn, discover different cultures, and use many senses at once. The reform mandates schools to structure lessons, teach, and evaluate students, which means schools need to come up with new ideas and methods. AIL requires teachers to change how they teach, using art forms like music, dance, theater, pottery, and painting as the main way to help students learn. This means schools have to completely change how they plan their lessons. In simpler terms, lesson planning needs t...
