| Summary/Abstract |
Eye Spy Indian Art introduces children to Indian modern art in a fun and engaging manner. It is imaginatively presented with an "Eye Spy" game as its basis and engages children from the beginning. The visual book traces the development of modern art history from just before Independence and features prominent artists under the various art movements. Children become familiar with the artists and learn about their influences and inspirations. They have fun exploring vibrant art by these artists which is delightfully treated through die cuts, flaps and foldouts. There are immediate activities that children can attempt in the book such as illustrating, tracing, cutting or creatively writing dialogue. For a yet deeper level of engagement, there are projects which encourage conceptual thinking, research and creative expression. Finally as a reward for successfully identifying the art movements, children get to display their art inspired by the book on the online Art1st Museum. Includes information on the following Indian art movements:
Academic Realism
Pre-Modernism
Bengal Modernists
Bengal School, Shantiniketan
Modernists of the South
Progressive Artists' Group (Bombay Progresives)
