The art classes are designed not only to impart holistic education through art but also to raise awareness of the flora and fauna and promote environmental consciousness at the grass roots while contributing to the conservation of our natural heritage. The children are taught how to observe and explore nature through the medium of Painting, Ceramics, Sculpture, Textile design and Jewellery Design, Natural History illustration and ecological studies, including dance and music thus serving to bridge the gap between art and science.  

The Trust has been providing the students a platform to interact with other individuals, institutes and organizations from across the globe thus encouraging them to extend their ideas and abilities and to gather confidence and the power of self-criticism while exchanging knowledge and ideas. It has also been promoting public awareness of the necessity of conservation of all life forms through public exhibitions.       

The classes will help facilitate the development of key skills while equipping them with self-confidence, sustainability and a purposeful life in the future.
