(I) FOR VISUAL ART
MATERIAL
Organizing appropriate material for visual art is a consultative and collaborative
process involving the children, parents, school and community. A regular and
adequate supply of material and tools is essential for maintaining interest and
enthusiasm. It is also important to think about all possible resources. Material
should be twofold:
•
Provided by teacher / school.
•
Arranged by children/ community.
Good communication amongst teacher, children, principal and parents will help
to develop a common purpose and ensure the availability of material. Here the
role of the teacher is very important. He/ she should organize material from:
1. Children: 
While planning the art activities, the teacher can involve the
student to collect the material from their surroundings. Use of locally
available, low cost/no cost material should be encouraged. Example of
commonly available material with children are: empty cardboard boxes,
empty bottles, dry leaves and flowers, pebbles, used books and magazines ,
small branches of trees, balloons, coins, pictures etc.
