ART EXPERIENCE
Effective organization is crucial to the success of the art class. Advance preparation
is therefore essential. It is advisable to make a list of the lesson requirements and
to check in advance the materials that are required for adequate and appropriate
use. These should be organized in advance.
4.3.1 WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS REQUIRED FOR ART
EXPERIENCE
In any work of visual art, children need material to create. E.g if there is a simple
task of drawing, a child at least needs a pencil, a sheet, an eraser as material. To
be able to supply the minimum material is the duty of a teacher after dealing with
administrative issues.
Material for art activities are like the nut and bolts of a bridge. A teacher has to
organize material keeping in view children’s need.
