Dr. Beloo Mehra from BhāratShakti engaged in an interaction with Ms. Jayashree Ashok, Co-founder of Creative School, Bengaluru to explore the topic – “Art that Refines, Heals and Transforms: Insights from the Practice of Integral Education.”
The interactive session explored how in addition to facilitating the development of an aesthetic appreciation, a meaningfully and consciously designed curriculum which has artistic expression and arts at its very foundation encourages learners to develop a keener sense of observation of all that is around them and also within them. Such an arts-based education helps improve learners’ perceptions by a thorough training and refinement of the sense-organs including mind, which in time could lead to greater refinement and self-control of emotions and feelings, eventually helping them grow more reflective and introspective.
