Form 1 has been
learning about how People recognize important events through celebrations and
traditions, to broaden our understanding of the traditions we organized a trip
to Delhi Haat to explore a plethora of traditional art form from different
states of India. We saw how leather was used to make decorative artifacts from
Madhya Pradesh. There were folk dancers dancing to music from Rajasthan and our
students had great fun dancing to the beat of Nagara. The stall from Rajasthan
showcased their traditional cloth printing called Bandhej. We also saw a video
on how silk worms made silk that is used by people to make hand woven dresses
in Nagaland.
The students observed
the artifacts from various states and enjoyed questioning the stall keepers.
They wanted to know how these artifacts were created. Who had taught them this
art and for how long had they been doing this work? These questions helped deepen our
understanding of why these artifacts are called traditional.
It was a great learning
experience for the students and the teachers.
