## About Art Exam & Competition Coaching

### Why I Coach Art Exams & Competitions

Since 2005, I’ve been teaching art to kids in Mumbai. For me, art karna (making art) is about joy and self-expression. Nothing beats seeing a child’s first “daynosor” (dinosaur) or watching a student win a prize. I keep the focus on the kids and their creativity - bas (that’s it).

### What We Cover

My coaching is for children prepping for Elementary Grade Art Exam preparation, Intermediate Grade Art Exam coaching, and school drawing competition coaching. We work on:

- Object drawing (pots, flasks, veggies)
- Still life sketching for exams
- Pencil sketching, portraits
- Watercolour painting techniques and poster colours
- 2D design, printmaking

Classes are hands-on, not just theory. Kids get to try everything themselves.

### Student Achievements

I’m proud of my students. Some have scored ‘A’ and ‘B’ grades in art exams, others have won prizes in school competitions. Even the youngest ones surprise me with their talent.

### How We Learn

Classes are flexible - online (Google Meet) or in-person at Marol, Mumbai. Every year, we host an exhibition and prize distribution to celebrate the kids’ progress. It’s a big motivator and a lot of fun.
