Art Poetica

Our School participated in Art Poetica - Dr. Prem Kirpal Inter-school Art and Poetry Competition on 16th November 2016 at Delhi Public School, R. K. Puram.

Students of classes 6-12 from 25 schools participated in the various events.

Blend Art (classes IX-XII) This competition required the blending of two events. It entailed the recitation and dramatisation of a poem, along with a painting or sketch that had to be created simultaneously. Artistic Poesy (classes IX-XII) In this on-the-spot competition, a series of pictures were given to the students, who then had to compose a ballad, connecting the pictures in any order. Lyrical Canvas (classes IX-XII) This was also an on-the-spot competition where a line from a well-known poem was given to each participant through a draw of lots. Students then had to create a visual image capturing the dominant emotions of the given line with the help of only one colour that symbolised the emotion most. Double Harness (classes IX-XII) This competition had two rounds where couplets were to be composed and recited on the basis of: A suggested word A particular emotion

9 students represented our School at this event. These were: Nitya Soni (X B), Saruby Sharma (XI B), Rishabh Bhatia (XI D) and Simran Narula (XI D) who participated in Blend Art, Sehaj (XII B) and Aanchal Juneja (XII C) who participated in Artistic Poesy, Mitali Nanda (X C) and Srishti Negi (X D) who participated in the Lyrical Canvas, and Mallika (XI C) who participated in Double Harness.
