Blueprint’s Creativity & Beyond is a graded series of 11 books (Parts A, B, C and 1 to 8) 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 will help them cultivate a mind that appreciate aesthetics. Taking this into consideration, a conscious effort has been made to develop all the senses of the child through observation, exploration and expression.
‘Art plays a large part in making our lives infinitely rich by reinforcing our cultural heritage. It stimulates different parts of our brains with a whole range of emotions and also broadens our knowledge horizon’.
Creativity & Beyond 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 interactive approach to the teaching of art and craft, which is both rigorous and active.
