Blueprint Colours In Life Textbook for Part A

Blueprint’s Colours in Life is a graded series of 7 books (Part A, B and 1 to 5) that conforms to the NCERT art assessment guidelines and recommendations of NCF, for art education in schools. The author-artists at Blueprint Education believe that every child is born with artistic sensibilities. It is only guidance from a tender age that would help them cultivate a mind that can appreciate beauty. Taking this into consideration, a conscious effort has been made to develop all the senses of the child through observation, exploration and expression. Colours in Life aims at providing a unique platform to the child that will help promote experiential learning for free expression of ideas and emotions. Emphasis has been laid on a participative and an interactive approach to the teaching of art and craft, which is both rigorous and active.
