art orientation programmes forteachers and parents at schools.Thus, at the Rangoli Metro ArtCentre, you would haveprobably seen some art byparents and teachers, too, alongwith art by 190 students fromBalya and 5 students fromAaspada. The children were toldthey could draw whatever theyliked and the results on the wallsshowed that their imagination hadtruly taken wing.

Apart from regular sheets ofpaper, the children had also usedvisiting cards to paint on, thushelping the environment in theprocess. They have also beenallowed to experiment with other

sizes of papers to use as theircanvas. In fact, during one of herother projects with Balya,Yugashri’s students have usedold notebooks which had beenwritten on. The pages of thenotebooks were all stucklengthwise and breadthwise tomake long scrolls and thenpainted on. “Some of them were30 feet long and 4-5 feet wide,”she says.

Yugashri has been concernedwith art education in India, andwonders that not many schoolboards have an art curriculum inplace. She has travelled toBhopal, Baroda, Haryana andMumbai and worked in schoolsin her research endeavours.
