Summer vacations are not just about leisure; yes, you are right! They are about exploration, discovery, and growth. This summer, we at Chitravathi Centre for Creativity (CCC) want to give the children an experience that goes beyond the ordinary. Welcome to Summer Stories, a unique workshop series crafted to elevate your child’s vacation into a memorable journey of creativity and self-discovery.

Hosted by CCC in Anna Nagar, Chennai and other campuses of VKP, Summer Stories is not just another set of workshops; it is an immersive experience designed to unlock the artistic potential within every child. Young minds will embark on a journey filled with fun, creativity, and personal growth in these workshops.


What sets Summer Stories apart is its commitment to fostering creativity, mindfulness, and personal development. Each workshop session is meticulously crafted to engage, inspire, and empower participants. From primary school to higher secondary, every child will find something to spark their imagination.

At Summer Stories, participants will immerse themselves in a diverse array of artistic subjects aimed at unlocking their creative potential. Through a wide range of activities including paper cutting, stencil work, abstract composition, portrait painting, expressionistic painting, and cubist painting, participants will explore various artistic mediums, techniques, and styles. Additionally, they can discover the joy of illustrating poetry and the excitement of creating monoprints, as they explore different styles and unleash their artistic potential. From mastering the precision of the 'Art of Drawing' to delving into the unpredictable realms of 'Abstract Composition,' each day presents new artistic challenges and discoveries. They can also experience the emotional depths of 'Expressionistic Painting' and the revolutionary style of 'Cubist Painting' as participants learn to convey subjective experiences through their art. Further, it will take them to the world of poetry illustration, where young artists visually interpret verses and engage in discussions about themes and stylistic choices. Portrait painting sessions focus on honing observational skills, attention to detail, and self-expression, while activities like monoprinting encourage experimentation and spontaneity. Through these subjects and more, Summer Stories offers a rich tapestry of artistic exploration and growth for all participants.



Mindfulness in Motion

Summer Stories goes beyond honing artistic skills; it cultivates mindfulness and sensory awareness. Activities like blindfold drawing challenge participants to tap into their imagination and intuition, fostering concentration, focus, and spatial awareness. By embracing unexpected challenges, children develop resilience and confidence, essential qualities for success in any endeavor. Moreover, the workshop aims to build a community of young artists. Through collaborative activities like illustrating poetry and group discussions, participants forge bonds, share ideas, and celebrate each other’s creativity. By fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie, Summer Stories creates an environment where every voice is heard and valued. Additionally, parental engagement is at the heart of Summer Stories. Through interactive sessions and regular updates, parents are invited to be active participants in their child’s artistic journey, becoming partners in nurturing talent and fostering lifelong passions.

Cultivating Personal Growth and Artistic Expression

Cultivating personal growth and artistic expression is central to Summer Stories. Through collaborative projects and hands-on activities, participants develop a sense of community and appreciation for both literature and visual arts. They gain valuable insights into the creative process and build confidence in their abilities as they create lasting memories and friendships. Summer Stories offers a variety of exciting workshops designed to ignite participants' imagination and hone their artistic skills, from mastering the 'Art of Drawing' to exploring the unpredictable results of 'Abstract Composition'. Each session offers a unique opportunity for creative expression and personal growth. Participants emerge with enhanced skills and knowledge, a developed artistic portfolio, and strengthened parental engagement. They carry with them cherished memories of laughter, friendship, and personal growth. Summer Stories isn't just about learning art; it's about unlocking creativity, fostering mindfulness, and creating lasting impressions that transcend the workshop's duration. Join us at Summer Stories and watch as your child's imagination takes flight. 

Registration is now open, but spaces are limited. Don't miss this opportunity to ignite your child's passion for art and unleash their full potential. Let the adventure begin!


Vacations offer a precious opportunity for refreshment and rejuvenation, but they also present a valuable chance for growth and development. Engaging in art studies during vacation time is a strategic and enriching choice. Not only does it provide a refreshing break from routine, but it also serves as a means to stimulate logical, critical, and cognitive development in children. Research consistently demonstrates that art is among the most powerful tools for learning, making it essential to integrate into the educational process. By immersing themselves in artistic endeavours during their vacation, children not only cultivate their creativity but also enhance their problem-solving skills, foster self-expression, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Thus, utilizing vacation time for art studies is not only enjoyable but also a profoundly beneficial investment in a child's holistic growth and development.

While AIL is a new concept, the prototype of integrating art with the st...
