Make the model of a house using materials from nature such as clay, wooden sticks, hay, grass, leaves, etc. Decorate it with an art form of your choice.
A model house can be constructed using natural materials: clay forms the walls and base structure, wooden sticks create the framework and support, hay or grass is used for roofing, and leaves provide additional covering. The walls can be decorated using natural art forms like Gond art (painting pictures of nature like trees, animals, birds and humans) using natural colours made from flower extracts, leaves, and powdered coloured stones. The finished model demonstrates traditional building techniques that use locally available natural materials.
Explanation
The chapter describes village houses made using clay, hay, cow dung, and other natural materials. Walls are decorated with paintings using dye made from rice flour and water. The chapter also mentions Gond art as a traditional painting form using natural colours. Students learn to appreciate sustainable building practices and traditional art forms that use materials from nature.
