Creative Painting School is the only Art school internationally, which uses art to develop Observation, Concentration, Memory & Imagination in Children. Teaching art to children is a very difficult thing because it needs a very good understanding, not only about Art but also child psychology.

Magunta Dayakar’s Creative Painting School is the only Art school internationally which specializes in using Drawing to improve Observation, Concentration, Memory & Imagination in Children. Because all these things lead to Creative Intelligence.

How...?
Observation is the key to Drawing.
Concentration comes out of Observation.
Observation & Concentration will lead to Memory and Imagination.
Creative Intelligence is the product of all these factors.

Magunta Dayakar, an acclaimed artist and writer, nationally known for his portrait & Lightscape paintings, introduced this concept of using art to develop Children's Creative Intelligence.

His Creative painting School, established in 1998, became popular for this concept across the Nation. Magunta Dayakar proved practically,  art can change children's attitude.Many parents experienced this change in their children. Since the last 12 years many children of Hyderabad benefited from Creative Painting School.
 Magunta Dayakar started Creative Painting School 10 years ago. Till that day, an Art school meant a place where drawing & painting were taught. In the West, some artists have been conducting Art classes during the weekends to develop children’s observation and creativity. But there was no exclusive school to develop children’s observation, concentration ,Memory and Imagination. Magunta Dayakar dared to do it without any financial support. All he had was a strong will and sound knowledge in art, literature, psychology and many other subjects. Finally he achieved his dream. Today Magunta Dayakar Creative Painting School has become a notable subject, when people talk about the Hyderabad city.

Magunta Dayakar says  '' Art is not for Art sake. It has to be used in different ways to give a new focus to the Human Mind. Today's Children need more of this focus, to handle their stressful education. I feel   satisfied for doing something for children. ''

Some misconceptions about Children’s
Drawing & Painting

On Color
1. Color should not come outside the shape. It should be inside of the picture.
This thinking is not correct. The great Artists of all time never did this. In reality they followed the opposite way. The reason is, when color goes a little bit outside the shape or picture, it will achieve a unifying effect. Seeing the thing as a whole is the key thing for vision.Some parents are saying to me, some of the schools are demanding children to color only inside the shape or picture neatly. Only one thing I am able to say in this regard , “ignore them ...”. Otherwise it will kill your children’s creativity.

2 Color has to be applied evenly in an orderly way with out patches.
This is not right. This kind of thinking comes out of ignorance. When you apply paint evenly It will lose 3 dimensional effect. That means depth. A flat area of canvas in a painting won’t have any depth. With out depth, in the painting your eye won’t penetrate layers of color. Then where is creativity?

3. Color should be applied with a directional movement.
Yes ! Color has to apply in a directional movement. Then it will create the rhythm in painting. But…is it possible for children to work with such an understanding and professional maturity? Some times even professional artists stumble in creating rhythm. Then how is it possible for children? Expecting too much from them will lead to killing their spirits.And another practical truth is this kind of order or directional movement will come to artists only by years of practice. And moreover this needs age and maturity. Apart from this, artists should not try for this order or directional movement. It will come naturally with abundant practice.We should leave children for their pleasure of practicing the painting

4. Do children paint like elders?
No way it’s possible! Children can draw, because it will be possible through observation and right way of practice. But… to paint, they need more strength in mind. It will come to them by age. Till that day ‘Children are Children!’ Because of this reason there are no child prodigies in art.

On Drawing
5. My child could not draw properly from imagination.
Here parents have to understand about imagination, memory and the difference between them.Imagination is thinking about something which is not visible. It is one step short of creativity. Children can imagine things very powerfully. But they are not able to present what they imagine well. To do that they need technical skills, which they can achieve through practice only.Memory Drawing is different. Many people have misunderstood memory as imagination. If you have to draw some thing, you should have drawn it many times in the past. Then only you are able to draw the pictures similar to the picture. This is called “ memory drawing” not “ imaginative drawing”.

6. My child should draw better than this.
Most of the parents feel this way. In reality drawing is a method about “how to use a line and a curve”. A Line and a Curve…from these two symbols you can construct any picture in this universe. To do that, you have to change your way of thinking. Then you can draw any picture beautifully.That why drawing is not just getting some pictures on paper or canvas. It is a way of thinking. If the child’s thinking improves, his drawing will also become better.

Here are few questions and answers…
Why is the school only for 3 – 13 years old children?
Creative persons never bother about the end results of their work. They never think about failures. Just they do their work. Work itself is a pleasure to them. The great leaders from all religions said the same. In 3 – 13 years age, children are also like this. They never think about the end results of what they do. That’s why creativity can be improved easily at this age.sychology and the science of creativity with drawing & painting. Our syllabus makes children to struggle to do their work on their own.

What we are doing to achieve this?
To achieve this, we designed our syllabus based on children's ability to do struggle.. But they enjoy this struggle. In this struggle they get used to observation, concentration and memory. They do drawing and painting in different ways. Because of this they won’t feel any monotony.

How our system will help children?
Our system will improve children’s knowledge absorbing levels. This absorbing mind will help them in their education. It will make them not only creative but also analytical. That means using the whole brain, instead of using only a part of it. These creative and analytical thinking skills will make them the best in whatever career they choose. And moreover they become confident.

Some more about our system…
We don’t encourage our children for competitions. Competitions kill the children’s enthusiasm. Suppose one hundred children participate in a competition, how many of them get prizes? One…two…three…how many? Maximum it will be ten. What about the remaining children? When they don’t get the prizes automatically they began to feel that they are not that much good in that. It is the beginning of the ending. Our approach with students is positive. We always praise them, that their work is very good. And we give them more work to do which they will do with more efforts. They don’t know that they are struggling to achieve results. Unknowingly they do it by more efforts with a lot of pleasure and confidence. Then they will grow.And finally our school is having a large space with well trained staff, seems like a school to the children. But at the same time they don’t have any fear or restrictions which they experience in their schools. Here they feel free, at the same time they behave with complete discipline, which they invited on their own. That is the Creative Painting School achievement.

Note:
Children of 3 to 14 years, at whatever age they start to learn Drawing & Painting, they can continue to practice till they reach higher studies. Years of practice will improve their ' Observation, Concentration and Thinking skills'. Once the student finishes the 30 , 50 or 100 classes, then they can continue for another 30, 50 or 100 classes ,whatever they choose. This system will be continued as long as children and parents want to continue. The standards of each set of classes will be higher. It will be like the school education, where standards rise every year even though subjects are same . With years of continuous practice children can become the best in creative art. Not only this but they can also be good at their education because of observation, concentration and thinking skills achieved through practicing Drawing & Painting.
