You heard children from different states speak about the art forms from their state. Discuss in pairs which art form you liked the most. Now, write a paragraph with five sentences giving your reasons for liking it.
Sample paragraph structure: 'I liked the Kondapalli toys from Andhra Pradesh the most. First, I found the use of natural materials like soft wood and vegetable dyes very eco-friendly. Second, the 400-year-old tradition shows how art can be preserved across generations. Third, the toys based on folk stories, animals, and rural life connect art to everyday culture. Fourth, the detailed process of carving and joining pieces with makku shows great skill. Finally, the colourful toys bring joy to children while keeping traditions alive.'
Students should write five sentences explaining their choice with specific reasons.
