We practice the 35-20-35 minute strategy, a specific time management drill that ensures you can finish your nature and memory drawing sections without rushing, so your work truly shines. While the scores of 96, 98, and 99 are wonderful, they are simply the result of a process we nurture together here in Vile Parle. Art exams can feel like a stressful hurdle, but chinta mat karo, we turn that experience into a creative safar. My approach to board exam preparation is broken down into clear, manageable steps that remove the anxiety of the ticking clock. ### The Board Exam Strategy We focus heavily on technical precision without losing the artist's touch. Our sessions cover: * **Nature Study & Object Drawing:** Rigorous training in light, shadow, and perspective to ensure your base is strong. * **Memory Drawing:** We use a formulaic approach to render human figures in dynamic action, ensuring you can complete scenes within the strict time limits. * **Timed Simulations:** My students participate in monthly mock tests that mimic 3-hour board conditions, allowing them to test the 35-20-35 minute breakdown for drawing versus coloring. ### Building Your Identity Beyond the board exams, I work with students on portfolio mentorship for NID, NIFT, and other art colleges. Your portfolio is your pehchaan, your unique identity. Whether it involves charcoal portraiture, life drawing, or mixed media, I guide you through the curation process to select pieces that tell your story. We meet regularly, usually three sessions per week, to review, edit, and perfect your collection. My classroom is not a place for pressure. It is a space for exploration, even when we are prepping for high-stakes exams. I want my students to walk into that exam hall feeling confident, not just because they have practiced the syllabus, but because they have learned how to enjoy the process of creating. ## About Shefali Raj I believe that art is a journey of self-discovery, and I am just here to guide my students along the way. Seeing them shine, especially in their board exams, is my greatest reward.
