April 2017 Gond: Shiv Nadar School, Noida and the Chaprauli Village School
In February 2017, the Grade 2s of SNS and CVS spent 5 fun mornings at the Crafts Museum with Gond artist Ram Narayan Maravi and the Artreach team. They began each day with a visual treasure hunt and when the excitement finally died down the students interacted with the artist learning about the history, themes and characteristics of Gond art from Madhya Pradesh. They then made their own paintings and created bookmarks with Gond's signature patterns.
The workshops were linked to their EVS curriculum learning about diverse flora and fauna.
