Hargursimranjit Kaur is an art prodigy from Apeejay School, Tanda Road, Jalandhar. Just in class 5 and you can already see her talent as she submits drawings almost daily at the Apeejay Newsroom for publication.
Selected for her passion towards drawing and sketching, this week’s Aspiring Artist says she wishes to draw valleys soon. Let us learn more about her art journey in this fun interview. Read edited excerpts:

Since when did you start drawing?
I was 5 years old when I made my first drawing. It was of a tree.
And which art form do you love the most?
Drawing, painting and colouring. These are my favourites.
So, how does your school support you as an artist?
When my school art teacher saw my drawing, she was very impressed. She told me to submit my drawings to the Apeejay newsroom website quickly for publication. And when I saw my drawing at the Apeejay Newsroom website, I felt so happy and proud.
We are equally proud of you child. But first tell us what’s art for you?

Art is an amazing experience with colours and brushes.
Well said! How much time does it take you to complete an artwork?
Two hours, that’s it! I enjoy art so much I don’t realise how two hours go away.
Upcoming artworks from you?
I want to draw a valley scene. It has been on my mind for a long time.
A new artform you wish to learn?
Realistic drawing has fascinated me and I really wish to learn it.
Finally, your other hobbies apart from art?
Yoga, dancing and playing sports.
