Visual Arts
“Culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.” – Thomas Wolfe
A life lived without the comfort of the arts is a life half-lived! At The HPS, we train our students to work on developing all sides of themselves, which includes indulging in the arts.
Visual Arts
The Department of Visual Arts nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills through diverse art forms like painting, drawing, digital art, sculpture, crafts, and origami.
The Hyderabad Public School is equipped with the state-of-the-art facilities to support the latest syllabus in Art and SUPW under the ICSE/ISC curriculum. Our creative team of teachers plan ‘engaging art’ activities to inspire students.
Integrating core subjects with Art can boost engagement, promote problem‑solving skills, and enhance academic performance while promoting mindfulness and stress relief. Students gain practical, transferable skills for future workplaces, learn vital life skills like self‑expression and art interpretation. They are encouraged to showcase their talent at various competitions, fests and school exhibitions.
The department empowers students through impactful community service, as part of SUPW classes, blending social responsibility with practical skills. By engaging in meaningful activities and hands-on projects, students learn teamwork, planning, and precision while nurturing empathy and civic awareness. Beyond school initiatives, visits to local organizations offer real-world exposure, helping students connect classroom learning with societal needs.
