Testimonials

I absolutely loved the course! Each module introduced something new, like trying out different mediums from pen and ink to watercolors. The course allowed me to move out of my art "comfort zone" of sticking with sketches and I was able to practise with paints and colours, which I normally don't like using. But after this course, I am able to incorporate different art mediums and create meaningful final products that convey a story. I also understood how crucial art is in storytelling as it takes the story to a whole new level!”

“I was able to solve many problems mentally and I learnt how our ancestors used smart methods to solve problems. Using these methods, I can solve problems faster. This helps in competitions such as the Math Olympiad which are helpful for managing time.”
