By describing this she told us, There are so many languages in our world, it is very difficult to understand all the languages and communicate in the same languages but through art, anyone can talk to anyone anywhere, Art can speak about culture and society, We can know a lot from the pictures inside the caves made by the very old civilisation, which has disappeared and on which research is going on even today and that too was an art, from these pictures we are exploring about them, In recent times, we see that children who choose art along with studies are more disciplined, more tolerant and more efficient to handle a task than child without any extracurricular activities.
