Vegetable Printing Activity
Arts and crafts are the earliest forms of communication and recording information. Our great great ancestors used to store information on the walls of cave. The same way art and drawing also helps in enhancing the creativity of a child if introduced at an early age. Artistic pursuits such as music, dramatic play and the visual arts contribute to how children understand creativity and develop their own sense of identity.
Florescent Public School had organised a vegetable printing activity for the students of pre primary. Vegetables like onions, potatoes and lady fingers were used for dipping them in colour and printing on the papers to resemble balloons, flower petals and other artistic visualities. Children’s artistic abilities are often underestimated; and that when given opportunities to explore artistic practice and creative thinking, they generally have stronger outcomes in other subjects such as science and maths. If a connection to visual arts is properly developed in early childhood, it does not need to become an anomaly that people turn to in extreme circumstances, such as a pandemic, but rather the backbone of one’s creativity and expression.
We hope all the students learnt the beautiful presence of nature that took the form of food and a beautiful drawing on the paper.
As said in the famous words
“Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.”
