Arts and Crafts – The whole world is your supply

A good artist does not need ‘special’ tools. Everything is art, anything can be a tool. Aesthetics is ubiquitous. It presents itself in so many forms. Opening a child’s eyes to such a thing is a great gift one could give.

There is a lot to draw from this world. Art and inspiration are on the list too. Children should be empowered to see this in the environment they live in.

Telling stories and painting pictures is a way of connecting with the rest of the world. A child shaping things out of objects around is a crucial milestone to learning. It’s an expression of what is within and an understanding of what’s outside. It’s every bit an education.

Textures, colours, materials and a whole lot of variety to tap from, art education offers scope for boundless exploration.

Some of the most brilliant minds were ones that painted murals in churches and drew sketches of what we today call an aircraft. There is so much of thinking involved in what seems like doodles. Leonardo Da Vinci was noted for his contributions to the world of science as well. He himself has become an object of fancy and a subject of many artworks.

Understanding the importance of art in elementary education, Appu Series has introduced a number of drawing and craft series for the most enthusiastic children.
