“Every time I sit for art, I want to do something different,”says 10 year old Deekshita Sureshkumar from Chennai

Hey everyone, your friend Sara here! Welcome to my colourful ‘Art with Sara’ section.

Here I publish the writings of young artists who not only share their beautiful work, but also manage an equally challenging task of ‘expressing their art.’

Today’s wonderful artwork and thoughts around it, are shared by 10 year old Deekshita Sureshkumar from Chennai. Dont miss her unique pencil shaving art.

Deekshita loves reading short stories and fairy tales. She is also fond of art and craft. She is a student of NSN Memorial Senior Seconday School, Chennai.
