Project Work
Fun with Folding
If we fold a paper in half, it makes a crease in the center. Now if we keep
folding the paper further we get a number of creases. Let us see the different
lines we get after folding the paper. Trace the straight lines with red crayon
and slanting lines with blue crayon.
A. Fold a paper with your friend and check who gets the maximum number
of creases.
B. Try to make curved lines by paper folding.

Discuss various art forms like Madhubani, Kalamkari, Warli or any other
local art forms that they are familiar with. Teacher might invite local
painters to share their process of drawing different lines and shapes
with children.
