What Class 4 Art Chapter 6 Covers
The Story of Arjun in Chitrapur & Panchatantra Exercise (Activity 6.1) shows how imagination is an actor’s superpower when costumes or props fail, and re-imagines scenes from The Hare and the Lion using expressive voice and body.
Object Improvisation & Group Scene Building (Activities 6.2 & 6.3) transforms a single ordinary classroom object (like a stick, cloth, or notebook) into dozens of imaginative props (a flute, oar, telescope, umbrella, or royal sceptre) and builds collaborative group scenes.
