Art & Culture

At GDGPS togetherness does not mean conformity, nor does uniformity foster duplication. In this very special School students are allowed to be what they wish and differences are not only accepted but embraced. In a quiet music cell, by the Riding tracks, in the Art Room or by a computer...the Goenkan goes through a remarkable journey of self-discovery.

Mirroring emotions on stage through the medium of drama has been, since time immemorial, a means not only of entertainment, but also an adulation of powerful emotions. We live through another as floor lights bathe us in a miasma on an alternative world. As the nuances and words articulate hope and despair, love and loathing the stage becomes, for the actor, a way to live many lives in a single one.

A burst of colours splay themselves upon the canvas and the insipid space becomes an inspiration to create the unknown and re-express the known. The ability to make something entirely novel or unprecedented from the hackneyed is a power unique to an artist for he has the vision to perceive what none or few can. The language of colour and the texture of the tint is interpreted in the highly personalized vocabulary the Goenkan artist.

Model making, three-dimensional representations and science exhibition are indispensable to the learning programme as it makes the two dimensional world of learning come alive and become real. Creativity and dexterity join hands as students not only understand the implication of scale and proportion but also how to turn something beautiful and useful from waste.
