Venue: Janapada Loka • Clay Unit • Channapatna Toys Unit • Valley Vibes Resort
Program Type: Full-Day Interdisciplinary Field Inquiry
Age Group: 10–11 years
Duration: One Full Academic Day
Focus: Cultural expression, creativity, communication and identity
This full-day field inquiry positions Janapada Loka and associated artisan centres as living cultural classrooms where students investigate how creativity communicates identity, tradition and meaning.
Learners explore how artists and craftspeople use colour, shape, material and storytelling to express values and culture. Through observation, dialogue and creative response, students analyse how art serves as a form of communication.
The inquiry progression follows:
Observation → Interpretation → Cultural Connection → Creative Response → Reflection
Students gather visual evidence, interpret meaning, compare perspectives and construct personal creative responses grounded in cultural understanding.
