Shiven Sidharth |Student with London Art College – art courses on the web

Shiven’s tutor says – 

‘I must tell you, when he first started the course, his work and communication with me was so mature, I had no idea he was still at school!

Even more impressive, he and his parents are doing their best to survive the nightmare that’s exploded in India with the virus.

They live in New Delhi and have been locked up in their home for several weeks, not risking going out at all. He has been keeping me informed of how life is, how they have the groceries delivered then clean it all down and don’t touch stuff for 72 hours. He is also vulnerable as I believe he was born with a diaphragm problem.

It really is a fine example of triumph over adversity and if ever there was a young chap suitable for the award you have mentioned before, then I think he deserves it!’

Shiven’s story 

Hi, I am Shiven Sidharth. I am 8 years old and I reside in New Delhi, India.

I am passionate about art and music and pursue them regularly.  I am learning the classical Piano (ABRSM) and the Indian classical instrument Sitar ( Prayag University).

I love horse riding and regularly head outdoors for sports. I like to participate in various sporting events in roller-skating, swimming and tennis. Unfortunately, the pandemic has kept me strictly indoors, however, art and music have been saviours.

During my free time, I like reading books on Geography and Space.

I have utilised my quarantine in learning new languages (British Sign Language and French). The Drawing and Painting Course from LAC has been an excellent decision and the individual attention given by my tutor has helped me to immensely improve my work.

Distance Learning Courses have helped to scale up my skills and allowed me to better focus on my areas of interest. Also I get to learn from the best and can choose from a curriculum that I find of use to me.

Thank you!

Shiven
