Redefining Beauty (Class XI)

The aim of the project is to understand the concept of beauty, redefine it, push its boundaries beyond what society tells us and to include our own definition of beauty. The students would research and study the word Beauty from all its aspects, choosing to see the beauty that exists around us. They could choose to see beauty in confidence and smiles, love of a mother, nature's creations, in the sacrifice made by a loved one, in the written word or in the soul thereby rising above the concept of physical beauty, thus making an attempt to remove the inequalities which arise because of colour, physical body appearances etc.
