“Stories in Shape and Colour” introduces PYP 3 learners to traditional Indian folk art, clay craft, and wooden toy making through structured observation and guided questioning.
Students investigate how colours, shapes, patterns, and materials communicate meaning. They explore how artists and artisans share culture through everyday objects. The focus shifts from simply enjoying art to understanding what it represents and why it matters.
Learners observe, sketch, ask questions, compare handmade and machine-made products, and create their own symbolic artwork inspired by the visit.
Research: Careful observation, questioning artisans, recording evidence
Thinking: Interpreting meaning, identifying patterns, making connections
Communication: Sharing interpretations, explaining ideas clearly
