Objects in Art opens the Visual Arts unit of Bansuri–I by inviting Class 3 students to observe everyday classroom and household objects and explore lines, shapes and colours. Through six hands-on activities—playing with straight, curved, zigzag and dotted lines, drawing objects around us, tracing and overlapping cutouts, playing with bottle shapes, kneading clay and decorating clay pots—children build foundational drawing and craft skills.
