| Note | Every child may not grow up to be a writer or an artist, but learning to understand the arts is essential to education. Backed by the versatile genius and vast volume of work of poet, novelist, dramatist, artist and thinker Rabindranath Tagore, educationist Feisal Alkazi sets out to introduce literature and art appreciation in the classroom. This is a multi-disciplinary and multi-sourced approach, participatory rather then top down. Using extracts from the Nobel Laureate's work, picting out highlights, scructuring 21 unusual actvities around them, the author encourages children to become careful observers, critical thinkers and curious learners. |
