Webinar on art-integrated learning held

‘Helping children learn academic concepts creatively is important’

A webinar on art-integrated learning, hosted by FeviCreate Idea Labs and The Hindu Education Plus, highlighted the importance of bringing in art and creativity effectively into the Indian education system, and its impact on learning.

“There’s something about the arts that makes us learn and remember better. For instance, we tend to remember the songs we learnt in preschool, rather than physics concepts from Class 9,” said Arundhati Ghosh, executive director, India Foundation for the Arts, making a case for integrating art and education.

Gautam Suri, president, Consumer Products, Pidilite Industries Ltd., emphasised how learning should be permanently fun for children. “Bringing in creativity, crafting it in accessible ways, and helping kids learn academic concepts creatively is important,” he said.
