• Creative lab is a beautiful place where imagination blossoms and reaches its height.When i was small,i never knew that i had the ability to draw.If creative lab was not there t would have never known about my ability.when i was studying in second standard was the time creative lab was installed in our school.everyone was curious about what it was.in second standard i learned how to draw characters and shapes.how to colourproperly.that is when i realised i had the potential to draw...

    We made rabbits all sorts of origami using colouredpapers.everyone understood their hidden talents.in third standard we learned about GIMP.How to create picture in gimp.Gimp is a computer software in which we can draw without any limitations. In Gimp we drew all sorts of things landscape house etc. We had 3 labs, one art lab,digital lab and media lab. In 4thstd we learned about photography, how to handle a camera and to take pictures.landscapes,funny pictures with our friends. We used to be so naughty.

    We have lots and lots of good memories in creative lab. In 5thstd i learned about videography. How to take videos in camera. To be frank everyone in my class love to be in creative lab.that year we had to do our group short story. We were divided into 4 groups and made to create a story. I still remember, our story was about two scientists mixing up two wrong chemical formula and making a zombie. I was actually scared by the person who wore the zombie costume. He had blood coloured tattoo on his face.

    We had to always run away from him. Unfortunately we couldn't complete our video, but it was super awesome creating it. In 6th standard we learned about Anim Studio Pro, were we would select landscapes and make our own characters. We learned 2 D animation, how to animate characters. It was totally fun. Presently, in 7th standard, we are learning about blender and clay modelling. Blender is a software in which we can create 3 dimensional objects. In art lab we are learning about group activity, how to make clay models. My favourite thing about creative lab they showcase everything we do. I really want to learn more and more things in creative lab.

    To really bring out my creativity. What creative lab has helped me the most is my fashion designing, when i was in 4th i saw my seniors drawing and making costumes. From that day onwards i had started designing lots of dresses, even though it was not my subject to learn. Creative lab and all the teachers have helped me in with my designs. I love creative lab . I have really grown from scribbling to drawing perfectly have been my potential. All thank to creative lab. Thank you very much image minds.

  • Image minds, creative lab was established in our school in the year 2012, when I was in the 4th grade creative lab was something new to us and we were all filled with curiosity in order to get inside air-condition, colourfully painted rooms to enjoy ourselves. I should say, indeed my class was lucky because we had two cl classes a week and since wore in the A division, we got the oppertunity to attend the classes first...

    our first session was taken up by Miss Elena. She taught as about photography and how to edit and do a collage in GIMP. mam divided us into groups, 8 in number and ask us to name our groups. Luckily my group's name was Galaxy and ours was the first collage that Mam printed and we still have the frames with us hung to remember beautiful memories. We also got the enhance to get our own group's personal cameras for the whole year and store our photos in it.

    The film posters draw our attention but the trailers attracted as more. In 5th grade we were taught of videography and was pushed into the world of shooting movies and shortfilms. This year was propebly the favourite and it was made so by Miss Elsa Sneha. She really gave us innovative ideas to make our storyboards and create the script. And all of us totally in group's created around three shortfilms each and I too have the copies with me.

    6th grade was a step which took ahead in the motion animation and gave us information about 2D objects. It was MrAbhilash who introduce this to us and the first term that we came upon was THAUMATROP. It was actually fun and we would get a bunch of them collected in the creative lab. The next week was filled with different coloured FLIP books and all of the 5th graders really brought out new themes.

    We again studied in deep in 7th grade about stop-motion animation and 3D objects. In this year we had to create cute wonderful shortstories apart from that we not only created the script but also the clay models which we were trained to, the brief background, features, effects and we started on each time with perfection. Miss Megha really helped us a lot to get through it.

    There are so many who love designing and in the 8th grade we witnessed the steam of new fashion designers who came out on to the lights. MrSumin guided us involved not to create the same stuff with same ideas and therefore gave us extravaganca of different models and everybody came up with dazzling gowns, stunning tops, half cut skirts and so on. Gladly we would show all of this on CLUB day.

    Vacations always remembered as of games and especially board games. We always played monopoly, snakes and ladders where were already common but from now on we could try out new because in 9th grade we got the chance to create our own board games and Ms. Teena handled it gracefully. She gave us ideas from which we would make our game the toughtest and the most interesting.

    Imageminds has laid the foundation for us Patricians to indeed discover, develop and dulce our talents. Over the past six years, we have turned into a new creative persons by living to take eye catching photos, memorable videos, cute characters and our on little story, design new costumes and to indulge ourselves in our board games. If there wasn't a creative lab in our school it really would have been felt a lack. Indeed in future when we have doctors and engineers us patricians are pretty much sure that we would see as stream of artist too.. it has help us all personally to improve as well as to boast confidence to showcase our undiscovered talents which even we wouldn't have come to know if we hadn't had this great exposure. Not only does it enhance our drawing skills, designing and digital screening but also to be a good auvator. We have radio club in our school which is an initative of our creative lab is indeed commentablebeacause I myself in RJ have experienced a whole loat of what the RJ's go through as a part of their work . We have also conducted various competitions such as salas making in which all of us radio members had a wounderful treat that week. Another competition was cake-iceing and all those who loved taking photos really enjoyed it. We also showcased a huge moraic art on the are of christmas in LULU.

    Indeed I think upon taking character drawing and the amazing fact was that I never draw until we had to for the CL project. But now I love drawing and as well as scripting and all the lovers like me really pay kndoos to creative lab for that.

  • I was in class III when Imageminds Creative Labs were introduced in my School, St. Patrick's Academy. From then, Creative Labs has helped me a lot in improving my artistic skills. It helped me gain confidence in designing and creating my own name slips, greeting cards, posters, maps etc when I was just 8 years old. I learned to draw and make a lot of colourful and creative things there...

    In the following years, I learned Photography, Videography and Editing. I have directed my own short films and I feel really proud each time I see my name scrolling in the credits. Now I am in class VI learning ‘Acting and Cartoon Animation’. Animation has become my favourite subject. It is very interesting, because I can make my own characters and give life to it by making it move the way I wish.

    The word 'Creative Lab' makes us so excited and thrilled that my friends and I make sure that we never miss attending school whenever we have a CL period. My aim in life is to become a Creative Lab Teacher, and share all ideas and knowledge we have learned from our Creative Labs.
