Selling
CBSE-i Handicrafts
A stupendous display of the art and craft products was observed
on November 07, 2015 during the
Fundraising Event of School Enterprise Challenge wherein the students of grade 1 to 8 of CBSE-i (international curriculum)
showcased their creativity in the form of alluring clay models, pen stands,
pendants using paper mache clay, decorative file covers using jute and handmade
sheets, paper flowers using sticks, old newspapers, paper plates, decorative earthen
lampsdiyas using spoilt ones.
They gave a new look to the obsolete things at their house and
showcased their aesthetic sense in a splendid manner. They also made silver
boxes using silver foil and old boxes, crayon stands using disposable cups,
bead material, flower pots using old bottles and spray colours, coconut and
stone show pieces by using coconut husk, stones and clay, candles using old
ones with stand.
The wall hangings using newspapers and mirrors, rangoli using
old transparencies and decorative material, mandanas using old sunpack sheet
and decorative material, lanterns using reused colourful sheets and satin
ribbon, paintings using jute, handmade sheets and old cards lying waste at
home, baskets using clay, cardboard, ceramic cones and mirrors, torans using waste
jute, used sheets, posters and beads were highly acclaimed as those were the
items to ornament the house during the festive season of Diwali.
The spare and old newspapers were turned into beautiful envelopes
and paper bags and cloth bags were also made using old curtain cloth and wooden
sticks. These could be replaced with the polybags which would help protect the
environment from the hazardous effects of polythenes and promote the three R’s
i.e. reduce, reuse and recycle and at the same time give a stupefying look to
the bags.
In a nutshell, the event was very successful and gave exposure
to the children to show their best creation. They tried to innovate different
products under the guidance of the Visual Arts teacher Ms. NidhiJain. This
event supported the noble cause of helping the underprivileged children in
Zambia.
