Art in its Whole Form

For the longest time, I’ve felt that art is just about everywhere and not only in the things we create. I even see human beings as a form of art. Well, that’s just me!

I The orientation program at Bhoomi College helped me gain insights into various topics like multiple intelligences, systems thinking, strengths theory, mind maps, food, water, waste, etc. The exploration of the four basic factors in types of learning—physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual (PESI)—added another layer to my understanding. The theatre sessions, focusing on voice modulation, plot-driven enactments, and creative imagination, have been especially useful in my role as a nature educator.
