Art Integration Practice - I

  Data Portrait - A form of art which I had never heard before. A class started with the topic Data Portrait, a session shares about the different sight of visualizing things, numbers, data also feelings. As the concept and the word term has been used here was totally new and the content was moving beyond my expectations.  During the session, many times I felt how it is possible? May be only unique creators can imagine thinks like this. A picture form of data, a colorful form of feelings, a shapes, a unrealistic figures which forms your memories, emotions, noise, smell and ..... As the session started for us, I try to conceptualize things differently. May be I could not add those things perfectly but somehow I tried.  Let me explain my kind of "Data Portrait".  As the session begin with the favorite color or your kind of color. As it was always a Blue, I didn't think twice to grab blue and started moving here and there in a rhythmic form. The blue has always been my ...

  My way of assessing as a teacher Trainer: My SWOT analysis Poem I am a teacher trainer, and here’s what I do I help my teachers grow strong and true With observation and journals, I see their way And guide them gently, day by day   Strengths : They teach with care and creativity I let them share ideas in their own style To build their voice and grow their smile Learning together-to build a dream In groups and peers, they work as a team   Weakness: Sometime focus and time management lacks. Some teachers feel a little shy When we asked and speak on how and why Not all feedback hits the marks Some ideas may lose their spark   Opportunities: To use new tools We learn more and train with care Use tech and stories everywhere More teamwork, more reflection too Can help them grow in all they do   Threats: Old habits that are still hard to change. Heavy workloads, pressure too Can block the change we want to do. If ...

Recently, I found myself deeply moved while learning about the incredible journey of Anup Baral — a name I’ve always heard with respect in the Nepali film industry, but one I hadn’t explored this closely before. His award-winning performance in Dasdhunga (2010), and the powerful roles he’s taken on in films like Sadanga , Tandav , Damaruko Dandibiyo , and Pani Photo , speak volumes about his dedication to storytelling. But what struck me most wasn’t just his filmography  it was his deep commitment to drama as a way of expressing truth. As someone who is passionate about education and creative learning, this made me pause and reflect: What does drama mean in the classroom? And more importantly, how am I using it to help my students grow? To me, drama isn’t just an extracurricular activity or a fun break from lessons it’s a powerful educational tool. It encourages students to express themselves, step into someone else’s shoes, and truly feel what they’re learning. It brings empathy,...

 On 14th May 2025, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a powerful three-hour session with the incredibly talented Nepali actress, dancer, and activist Diya Maskey. Known for her grace, honesty, and strong voice in the Nepali film industry, Mrs. Maskey brought with her not only a wealth of experience in theatre, film, and dance but also a grounded and thought-provoking presence that made the entire session deeply meaningful. Throughout the talk, she spoke passionately about her journey  from stage shows and street performances to impactful films like Kagbeni, Sungava, and Dokh. What inspired me most was her belief that acting and dance go beyond just entertainment  they are tools for truth, reflection, and social change. She emphasized that art should challenge people to think and feel, not just watch passively. Her words resonated deeply with me as an educator and someone working closely with children and youth. One key takeaway from the session was her emphasi...
