About Aaj the trend
Established -16th April
‘Aaj the trend’ is Jaya’s vision of revolutionising the field of ‘Design and Art’ , making it reach every household, across people of all ages irrespective of their profession. She feels, ‘art is for everyone and everyone is for art’ and we must leave no stone unturned to encourage people take up some or the other art form. We need to discover the artist in ourselves, nurture it and explore it so that it can become one’s life-skill, a hobby, a stress-buster, a form of meditation and above all, bring in positivity, a form of self healing. She believes that the second life skill will always be able to earn you daily bread even in difficult times.
At ‘Aaj the trend’ we bring to you all forms of design and art work prevalent in India as also, the world. Our long term Diploma courses are designed to give you a complete insight into the field of art and craft as also make you stand up on your own, either as entrepreneur or take up job in any School/ educational institute. The Certificate Courses of three/ six months will focus on a particular design/ art field; the short term courses of 15 days/ one month aim to train students on specific art work as a beginner’s perspective.
