“Little Culture Explorers” is an immersive arts and storytelling journey where Grade 2 learners discover how people express ideas, emotions, and histories through visual art, puppetry, and shadow play. As students explore galleries, puppet collections, and outdoor sculpture spaces at Chitrakala Parishath, they decode patterns, personalities, and stories hidden in artworks. Through observation challenges, creative movement, hands-on art-making, and reflection, learners develop curiosity, imagination, and an appreciation for cultural expression across time.
Children strengthen Thinking, Research, Communication, Social, Self-Management, and Creative Thinking skills as they observe artworks closely, identify patterns and symbols, express ideas through drama and art, collaborate respectfully, and reflect on meaning-making through creative forms.
Children explore how artists communicate stories and emotions using colours, patterns, puppets, and shadows, develop visual literacy, practise respectful museum behaviour, and express interpretations through art and language.
Children identify visual storytelling techniques, describe emotions and ideas in artworks, participate confidently in creative tasks, follow museum norms, and reflect on how art communicates meaning without words.
